oh, where is my manners, I am Jacob Waechter, mighty scientist, doing anything in the name of SCIENCE! And you, my precious, are the first step of technological evolution that will change the world forever! So please, take control over me, as I am your faithful servant, a servant of SCIENCE!

You have gained control over Jacob!

>You aren't a sexy lizard wizard! You aren't a sexy lizard wizard at all!
>Fool, you have unleased our hellish MIND CONTROL POWERS!
Hmm, there seems to be some instability in the system. I’ll have to check up on that later
>Nope. You are just hearing things.
That’s… that’s kind of exactly what I hoped for, you know…

>Would you kindly tell us why you're building a sentient lizard wizard robot?
Wait, how do you know of my pet project? Can you access my memories!? No wait, then you wouldn’t be asking. Hmm…
First off, it’s not a robot, it is a fully organic construct. And second, why do you believe it will reach sentience? No one else has ever succeeded in making a sentient construct before. Well, to answer your question, I’m creating it on my free time as a hobby. I hope one day I can make it into a maid so I don’t have to clean up all the messes I make… And maybe it can be used for entertainment to, like singing… yes, I’ll program it to sing several song, genius!

Wait, shes a sexy lizard wizard maid? I love you long dead mad scientist!
Now, how the hell did you pull us back in time and can you ensure the lizard wizard maid has a thing for both genders? There's this adorable lizard paladin that some of us think would make a adorable lesbian lizard. Or alteast I think he would make a adorable lesbian lizard.

We're somewhat displaced from you, chronologically. From our perspective, we've already interacted with the completed Lizbeth Lizbot, helping her survive an adventure or two. We're actually kind of surprised to now be supervising her construction.

Perhaps you could tell us what we are, or how you called us to speak with you?

we know you are working on her because we can SEE a lizard head on your desk

Oh boy, do we have questions for you.

What exactly makes an organic construct different from an ordinary organic being?

Do you have anything against plants?

Where is your snazzy laboratory located? Do you have any creepy lab assistants, or are you not that kind of scientist?

Oh, wait wait wait, I just remembered the most important question.

Your android is going to be fully functional, right? Because I know she, us, a hunky paladin and possibly a sexy assassin are going to very disappointed if she isn't.

Could you do us a favor? Tattoo "We're on you you, Iracundus." on the bottom of her right foot. This is part of a very important experiment.

>>435144
No, you fool. Believe in yourself, you can do it! Although, to be honest, you'll probably die horribly in the attempt. But hey, you'll die doing what you love: Science.

Anywho, we're from the future, sent back in time to protect you from time travelling constructs. Ironically, so that you can successfully create an Illusion wielding construct.

What do you want, Jacob?

We're an amazing breakthrough. That's great. Go back to Aquaman.

>>435144
Alright, let's go outside. Give us a tour of your lab.

>>435125
Make a little love. Get down tonight.

Are the processes used to make us based in time manipulation or chronomancy? Or do you have a colleague working in that field? Anything that'd leave us unstuck in time? Because the first thing we remember is giving suggestions for actions to what we highly suspect is that female lizard bio-construct you're making. She also was, is, or will be, fully intelligent and sentient, since she acted completely on her own when we were later separated from her for awhile. So, congratulations in advance for your hobby succeeding beyond all expectations.

Now, on with the tour. What else are you and your colleagues working on?

>>435144
Your buddies are going to kill the planet, and all of science will become magic to an ignorant populace. We have seen beyond the end of life as you know it, and such is the fate you have written for yourselves.

But not all hope is lost! Give your construct the ability to change genders at will, and there may yet be a rebirth of this world.
Also, hiding all your knowledge of SCIENCE! and such in her dreams would probably help. Just a bit.

>shes a sexy lizard wizard maid?
Well, her appearance is based on the highest standard of lizard beauty. The wizard part thought and don’t really know about.
>What exactly makes an organic construct different from an ordinary organic being?
One is constructed through SCIENCE and the other is made through the normal way.

Of course, I am after all trying to create an imitation of life so good that it would be impossible to tell them apart.

Not really, no. except that I keep forgetting to water them.

In an army base right next to the city named town… don’t ask me why it’s called town, I don’t really know.

Wait, what? That can’t be true. The project has nowhere near that kind of power. B-but maybe you are right, maybe you came back to set things right…

>Also, hiding all your knowledge of SCIENCE! and such in her dreams would probably help. Just a bit.
That is actually a good idea… Hmmm, I’ll start by hiding the recordings of this in her subconscious, it might help her gain sentience later.
>Perhaps you could tell us what we are, or how you called us to speak with you?
You, my dear friend, are the soul of many. I was able to making a connection to you by creating a link between myself and the Mana stream, the origins of the power of all magic. You are by all account magic itself, thought you are at the time being quite divided. I’ll have to fix that later.

please don't make us all one. being inside other guys is kinda gay, and I don't swing that way.

can she get preggers?

>You are by all account magic itself
Well, that explains how Lizbeth ends up being a reality warping mage, if we end up hanging around with her.

Regrettably, we can't give you many spoilers about the future, as we only have a day or two of future experience, and most of that was spent fighting skeletons, goblins, and lizard dating. We do know that civilization gets driven literally underground, somehow. We have access to a file "epicmovie.wav" that's supposed to contain relevant background information, but it's been corrupted. If you're any good at data recovery, maybe you can figure something out there.

>she isn’t the vessel created for you
What is she a vessel for though? We've had two separate people in the future address her as the vessel. Neither of them seemed to have good intentions in mind for her.

>sexy lizard wizard robot maid
New quest guys: find Liz a maid outfit.

>>435202
You designed us to be chronologically mixed up? The timeline must be very confused.

Anyway, do you know anyone who wears black, has a white helmet with a cross visor, and hates plants? He might have something to do with us being in Liz instead of whatever vessel you intended us to be in. What vessel DID you intend for us to be in?

Speaking of Liz, what are her prospects as far as having a soul is concerned? Would being able to fall in love be a good sign?

>We do know that civilization gets driven literally underground.
That is quite foreboding, if anything. I’ll have to look into the safety of the program if you are telling me the truth.
>data recovery.
Whatever data you are referring to is clearly beyond human understanding. I quite literally have no idea what you really mean with that metaphor of yours.
>What is she a vessel for though? What vessel DID you intend for us to be in?
She is not a vessel of anything, she will simply be assistant construct build to help me in the lab. You on the other hand would be placed in a highly advanced machine named virtue. You can even see some of the parts still under construction here in my lab.

>You designed us to be chronologically mixed up?
I didn’t design you at all. Being an entity of pure magic you will undoubtedly have amazing magical potential, and thus be able to manipulate time as it was nothing. No one has ever been able to travel through time before, so if you tell the truth, you’ll have to be the one of many.
>do you know anyone who wears black, has a white helmet with a cross visor, and hates plants?
…I don’t think so, sorry.
>what are her prospects as far as having a soul is concerned? Would being able to fall in love be a good sign?
If she can fall in love she should have reached some kind of sentience, and thus might have some kind of soul… Are you really implying I will create a construct so advance? We are nowhere close to that kind of technology today…

General Ridcully! What are you doing here?
I’ve told you not to refer to my real name. We have codenames for a reason.
…er. I just that your codename is a little… well…
Then you are in luck as we are changing our codenames today for security reasons. Corporal, give me the papers…
Sir, yes, sir!
Now let’s see. You will hence forth address me with the name Cupiditas…
So we just changed the names to Latin?
Shut it, professor. Your new code name will henceforth be Iracundus. Now, how does the project proceed? Have you made contact with one of many yet?

>Iracundus
Okay, good news. You're still alive in the disutopian future, and get to see your robot in action.

Bad news: you live in a dungeon full on animate skeletons, you dress in full face covering armor, and you're a creepy Perv who sneaks looks at Liz's ass and wants her to call you "Daddy". You're also one of the two creeps who refers to her as a vessel and implies you have an ulterior motive in exploiting that.

Hopefully you don't actually turn evil and crazy, and you just have to act out those things to avoid a time paradox.

>Ridcully
We've seen him in the future too. Archchancellor of the wizard academy.

Don't tell him we're here. We don't trust him.

It's always possible someone else rendered the surface uninhabital but you ARE messing with the source of magic.

Tell us more about Virtue if you would. Oh and I suppose tell him that your talking to the many right now.


Anyway, I wonder how long ago is this. It's possible you became a lich or some other sort of undead.

Oh for fuck's sake you guys are planning on using an experimental mind-altering device on yourselves without thorough testing beforehand, aren't you. How can you have possibly expected such an undertaking to turn out well?

Well I have soon good news and some bad news for you. The good news is that you and your partners aren't about to get killed soon, but the bad news is you will have somewhere between a major and a complete personality overwrite, so the 'you' that is here now might not be around to enjoy it.
For example, the poor Corpral here gets turned into an idiotic megalomaniac who calls himself 'Pride' like its a good thing.

>>435219
"Yes. They're telling me we're going to accidentally turn the planet's surface into an uninhabitable wasteland, but warning you about it is a waste of time so it's just an 'I told you so' sort of thing.
Oh, and that you wind up getting defiled by goblins after taking an artifact from 'Lizbeth the almost-lesbian wizard blizard' instead of helping her.

Mostly, they are annoying."

Virtue will be a machine capable to controlling time with such precision and power that it will be able to manipulate where every rain drop will land in a storm. Just think of the possibilities!

How many healing potions do we have? Because without our heal-mage, the answer to that question is not enough.

Also lets find out about who the Temple of the Seven are (or at least who they tell people they are).

>the adventure of the four Hans!
We will happily go on the cloning accident quests, if and when it happens.

Okay, coo, the relic looks relevant to Liz's background. It may prove necessary to swipe it for ourselves rather than hand it over, though. Kev is loyal to us, he'd go along with it. We need to win at least Maggie over- she can assassinate red if he complains about us going off mission. Preferably we should win them both over, but he may prove grumpy and reticent.

>we really are a fearsome bunch, aren’t we?
Respond with an absurd string of alliteration, citing the awesomeness of an all lizard team.

Load up on heal potions. Like... a lot. A lot a lot.

A lot alot.

Well, for 100g, we can get 10 hp pots. That should be plenty to keep Kev alive, and he can use pally powers to heal other party members. If we're desperate for more healing, we have mana pots we could use on him. There's also the chance that as established adventures the other lizards have some of their own supplies.

Ideally though, we should be fighting things at a distance with either Red's elemental attacks, our using and abusing solid illusions for deception, tricks, damage and/or deathtraps, and Maggie sneak-stabbing things. Those tactics don't put us in the path of direct damage very often.

By following the mostly linear path with occasion chests in dead ends to the obvious end, silly.

Have the ninja be the party scout. Kev in front of the mages to act as meat shield. Threats can be ninja stabbed, tricked / killed with illusions, or blasted by red. Kev should only really be seeing action if we mess up.

Have the Sexy Ninja use her abilities to go in the dark and scout a relatively safe path towards the first set of stairs. If your going go down ten flights you'll need to conserve yourselves. You can't get caught up fighting every two bit monster in a level.

What are those grey humanoid things lying around? One of them seems to be leaking or bleeding something from its head.

Ok, an endlessly patrolling golem is almost certainly stupid, but we still need to check for anti-illusion sensors. Run back up the stairs, then cast a boxshaped illusion of walls around it.

>>435464
If we had, these wouldn't be golems, probably skeletons or some shit.

walk up behind them and just sort of stab them in the back. hopefully it won't turn into red mist so you can carry its head around and shoot stuff with it.

OR look for an off switch.

Create the solid illusion of a full length mirror in front of the laser happy patrol bot. It'll see itself, fire, and kill itself.

>If we had, these wouldn't be golems, probably skeletons or some shit.
Well, both golems and skeletons are constructs and thus I would be able to control both if I was an expert golemancer.
I would actually have allowed you guys to change the golems directives and priorities if you had chosen golemancer, but not control them completely.
>Lizbeth! Quickly! Hack into the golem magic and get it to obey you!
You focus your mind and start trying to take control of the golem but its security measures is too strong.
You’ll have to find a golem with fewer active security system activate if you want to hack them.
>cast a boxshaped illusion of walls around it.
You can’t cast an Illusion that is bigger than yourself! You do make a wall right in front of it thought.

Can you get the plating off the unarmored golem? I am curious whether they have a specific power source that can be exploited and/or looted.

Wait... That golem appears to shoot from the red eye, but has a larger lens in the center of its head... We need to find another functional golem and conjure an eye-patch over its non-laser eye.

You're going to breeze through this dungeon at this rate. What could possibly go wrong? Why it would take a juggarnaut robot wall slowly trapping you against the opposing wall, to even give you pause! Not that that will ever happen, oh no.

I wonder... follow that robot!

Considering these security constructs are so easy to defeat through non-combat means could indicate that they are either for show, or that they are meant to be directed by a central intelligence that is no longer active. That they aren't giving XP when defeated might also indicate that in their current state, they're too far below your party's level.

Perhaps if you enter combat-space with them, they'll give XP when defeated. The next chance you can grab one from behind, do so and see if it initiates combat.

>>435521
That isn't viable when they do 40 damage per hit.

well gee, I wonder why the guys who designed these things went extinct.

Yeah, tell the seasoned slut that you know what a good kisser is. That will surely end in the best of all possible circumstances.

He's nice, strong, attractive, not judgemental, and a surprisingly good conversational partner once he gets over his shyness. He's also got the whole "good guy with a mysterious troubled past" thing going on, which is super hot. Oh, and his great sword is really big.

Laser blast a door.

there's still left and right to go. and we, as always, go left.

The elemental master doesn't have an anti-rust spell? Wuss.

We could try a solid liquid illusion of oil, but I'm not sure that's within our capacity. We might get brown oily looking sludge without any of the useful mechanical lubricating properties.

Failing that, we could have red quickly heat and cool the door with a few cycles of fire and ice blasts. Should weaken the metal enough to break under one good Kevros smash, then.

>>435687
I see walls to the left and right. They're a different color than most of this place, but those are walls. I think.

Well either we go looking for a key or we can try using telekinesis on the door to unlock it. As in, like, telekinesis the lock- wait, do we have a fine enough control to do that? Maybe not. Or can we MAKE a key with Solid Illusion? That would likely require knowing exactly what key would open the door. Um. I think this might be a regular ol' dead end since we can't open either door.

Or maybe Maggy can pick locks?

Actually you know what, we could use a better indication of what our party members do. Does Graven know any spells aside from damage-dealing stuff? What can Maggy do aside from sneak really well and kill people really well?

>>435686
Oh right we do have that salvaged laser weapon, and it's been seen to destroy solid objects. I think the best target would be the rusted door since the locked one SHOULD be openable via other means. If all else fails it's easier to break a lock via brute force rather than get a door un-rusted.

On the other hand, why is it rusted shut when the other one isn't rusty? Is there water behind it? Or is the ceiling above it just leaky?

Office first, because it might contain NOTES.

Let's start with the office. Notes are valuable, and less likely to pose a threat.

office.

> What are you exactly?
For one, you're not a dick. Most of time, I mean. Second, Hans and Helga are cool, educated and helpful, and definitely not nosy. Why do you have prejudice against mammals, Liz? No, really. Next time we will give a chance to Sonya and poor Olof.

I… I can’t really comment on that, but you know quite well what I meant.
>I'm a lizard wizard! What else would I be?
Yes, because it completely normal for a lizard to not have a heartbeat and being an extremely potent magical conduit. Any normal being would simply implode if they reached anywhere near that kind of magical power that you have within you.
wait, what?
>go play hide and go fuck yourself.
oh? And here I thought we should have a little tea party and compare notes. Nevertheless, as an apology, I’ll give you a little taste if anything. You are quite clearly a precursor construct and you don’t seem to be able to control any of you sub functions. You don’t even have your security measures online, which mean any mage with a little knowledge in golems would be able to take control of you, someone like me for example. You should really fix that.

>Any normal being would simply implode if they reached anywhere near that kind of magical power that you have within you.

Okay. Compose yourself, explain you weren't even 100% sure about the construct thing yourself, though you had some suspicions. Sorry for the outburst, but so far your experience has been people who know about this kind of thing want to exploit you nefariously for their own purposes, not help. That, and we kind of don't appreciate being outed in front of friends.

But if he's really interested in comparing notes and helping us unlock our own secrets and superpowers either out of an honest desire to help, or just beacuse he wants to learn, sure, we'd be interested later.

We MIGHT be a highly advanced organic construct built by the God of Wrath, aka Iracundus. He calls himself our daddy. Oh and we're the vessal too. Tell him the many says hi!

Check out the books then indiscrimetely push any buttons you see.

First, I didn’t know what how much you knew. Second, I don’t really know exactly what you are as you are far more technological advance than any other construct in existence. If anything, you are probably the only real sentient construct to ever exist.

We might be. We've run into two or three people who called us that, but it's not like they were trustworthy, or sane. Can you tell us what this vessel is supposed to be?

If it has anything to do with being a conduit for the voices of magic, we got that. Ask Kev, he's even spoken to them.

Turn to Maggie and Kev. Yes, I'm apparently a robot or something. Sorry for keeping it a secret, but it's not the kind of thing you like to just tell everyone you meet right off the bat. I hope you understand ans won't go blabbing around, people might get weird about it.

The one game I have played where the illusionist desperately needs a spell to check for illusions cast by others, and the one game where they don't have such a spell. (By which I mean the hating wood bit sounds very familiar.)

Hmm, I suppose the 'Undead Plant Behind You' is probably not going to work but that bit about wood IS suspicious. Maybe hes another one of the Seven and the reason the surface was destroyed is they ALL hate plants now for some reason.

If we really wanted to test him, we could turn, shout "Dispel!" while simultaneously casting an illusion of Ira on him. See if he acts like a confused idiot, or like we blew off his disguise.

We shouldn't test him yet though. Instead, we should see what info we can get out of him first. He's (potentially) the first non-crazy non-creeper we've met who knows what the vessel is.

Can't make things bigger than ourselves. We could try making rope I guess, but there's no telling how deep that is. Try tossing a rock over the edge.

Elevators can make really good traps, Maggie. Admittedly, getting us to walk off cliffs makes for a good trap too. It kind of makes sense that the real path might be hidden. We need to investigate and see which is real first.

We can take a page from Indiana Jones to check for illusionary stairs and the like- throw down some sand.

Or ask red what he 'sees'. He's using a different set of senses, maybe the path isn't hidden to him?

...can we create an illusion of light down below, so we can see where the trail leads? Or if that doesn't work for some reason, red has fire spells.

Then uncoil it down the pit.

Ask Gravens opinion on becoming a woman.

>>435920

This sounds good. We can even make several.

>>435918
Do we have ENOUGH rope? Also I don't think we should count on illusions for climbing down that far. We want a very sturdy, permanent rope and anchor for climbing down that far.

Let's use the rope.

And avoid bring up any more gender swapping. We've just sort of befriended him, and got everyone over the android weirdness. We don't need to mess things up with *more* weirdness. We can always just have a fling with Maggie if we really need lizbian lizard action.

Invisible stairs. Maybe. Any volunteers?

Here you go. Besides, you can sell the copper later.

>>435942
You don't understand the beauty of genderswap.

Oh, it's beautiful, and fun all right. I just think right now it's not helpful to our immediate goals.

Actually, hold on using the rope for a minute. Ask Graven if his skill in earth magics is good enough to create handhold recesses in the stonework of the pit wall all the way down. If not, then ask if he could extrude a solid stone anchor from the floor to tie the rope to.

Could Maggy use her ninja training to free climb down the pit wall ahead of the group and scout? Climbing sheer walls is a ninja ability, right?

Think you could create a solid illusion of four packed parachutes for you and your party to wear as a backup?

If you have enough rope to get down then make a solid illusion of an elevator. Not a traditional one, just a rope net and a pully. It would be close quarters, but if the order went Mage, you, Pally, Ninja, then your boyfriend will be sandwiched between two sexy girls and Grumpy over there will be on the outside complaining about things.
This plan is best plan.

Well, if we all poll together our rope (every adventurer has rope) and include both the cables and some Illusionary rope (you’d be surprised how much rope fit inside your body frame) we’ll get just enough to make one ladder all the way down to the tenth floor.
>Make a coiled up rope ladder.

Is that a corridor or a huge room? In any case, our ninja should stealthily look at what is there.

Hmm those look well maintained compared to the other bots we've seen I doubt these will be easily fooled. Lets try the more direct approach. Remember that stone block Graven made? Can you make a you sized stone block a couple feet above their heads? One at a time of course.

>Maggie assgrabs the entire party
You go, girl.

Okay, there are either Iracundus statues or guards down there. Check 'em out, carefully. If all's clear, investigate the screens on the wall. The one on the far left still appears to be powered, at least. If there's no visible control mechanism, you could try plugging in the hand scanner.

"Iracundus and Cupiditas sent us, and here you are shooting us?
You are so totally defective!"

Can Graven create a cloud of mist or something? Those are good against many types of invisibility because they stick to the outside of the invisible layer. (Or for that matter, can he see it normally with his mineral sense?)

If the golem is coming towards us, we can buy some time with a mirror (it wouldn't reflect the beam directly back at it unless it was pointed in the right direction), but if it isn't we should test out an illusion of a person wearing one of those helmets.

Hey, nice. Team lizard finally has a sort of dynamic going here. Good dodge, Maggie.

Send an illusion of Maggie back out. When it drops stealth and fires again, change the illusion to a solid illusion of a mirror. We'll teach them to rely on lasers.

Or if you're feeling lazy, Graven could just explode the general vicinity of the cloaked bot. Elemental magic doesn't need to be precise.

The opponent is a machine, "it probably isn't programmed to fire on sight alone". Besides, Ms Ssus "already used up her illusion quota". Mist and illusions will not work.

You can wait for another attack to pinpoint its location, but that's too risky. Can you use your earth sense and quickly cast an area attack, Mr Voiddrake? Maybe turn the floor tiles into sand?

>>436120
We should SCIENCE this one as much as possible before destroying it. We know more or less where this one is, but the same might not be true for others of its type.

Well, we learned stealth drones can't be shut down remotely, they reflect lasers, but they can be frozen and shattered. That's some new information in the name of science. If you really wanna study one though, we'll need a non-lethal way to subdue the next one.

We could disarm one.

By which I obviously mean we remove it's arms. And it's legs. A nice quadriplegic robot to study. You could probably protect Kev with illusionary mirrors while we hacks the near one up. Or he could shield you while you telekinesis rip its limbs off.

I think Graven and Maggie can kill the second one- we only need one alive to study. Freeze, stab, shatter.

Imobilize, plug hand scanner.

Remember your lower level abilities too, arcane punch and chickenarcane shield.

You don't have a heartbeat? This would have been good to mention earlier before we tried to pass as alive.

Honestly I think these guys are too dangerous to try to subdue. Try just destroying one in a manner that leaves a body.

2) Dump water over them.

The legs are easier to encase, closer to the source you know.

>>436202
It's potentially very powerful and valuable, and relevant to our own backstory. I say we keep it and welch on the contract.

Graven will probably more than happy to go along with that if we team up with him to study it. We can talk Kevros into it easy. Maggie's the only one without real incentive to miss a paycheck. And we didn't score any loyalty, friendship, love, or anything points with her. We'll have to offer to make it up to her, or pay her off. She is a ninja for hire after all, secrets and money are in the biz. To bad we're broke atm, and no bringing in the relic (nothing there, boss, really!) will likely yield a reduced paycheck.

I fail to see how keeping some weird time travelling thing that will destroy our universe could possibly lead to hot pixel sex. Let's just give it to Ira.

>Replace it with the blue scanner?
You are unable to find anywhere to plug it in. Even if you forcefully removed one of them you’ll have no idea how to rig it to work with the blue scanner instead.

Holy shit, you've been alive for thousands of years!

Ask how you can change your fate. Wait no, ask why people are trying to sacrifice you, first.

...also I guess that guy who claimed to be Iracundus was not actually Jacob.

Okay... so Iracundus can be used as the codename for both our hapless human creator, and the virtue he built. And we're a year older than Virtue / Ira 2.

More Records: "Shadack Wyrmeye", "Oracle Labs".

Specify details "manual override"

Fuck fate! Fuck future! Fuck everything that moves!

Anything about "bondage"? Virtue is her little bro or her second father? Why are you answering these questions instead of pursuing your dreams, Hub?

>>436250
Oh shit. Virtue is that guy we first met, and he's right outside the labs. We have to get back to our buddies to protect them.

Ask how you can get out of this room and clear the lockdown in the teleport room so you can get your friends out. Also ask for the location of the relic. Oh! Ask how the surface was destroyed.

Can we use the power of the vessal to turn everyone female?

OK "Vessel for one of many" means Liz can hear us. "Fate: Sacrifice" for "Save: Safe: Future" means that Liz's supposed demise is going to be to somehow save the planet.

Considering the dream you had about your creator 4000 years ago talking about inventing a supar time magic automaton, I'd say meeting something called an Oracle talking about your Fate means it is pretty much set in stone. That is to say, it looked into the future and saw you being sacrificed. So you're pretty much doomed. Better use what little time you have to make hot lizard love with Kevros.

Also search records on 'The Seven' and 'General Ridcully'.

>>436286
But they Oracle here said that our survival was difficult but not impossible. Besides, if these guys were infallible they wouldn't have been nuked into a hole in the ground.

>>436286
Interestingly, Virtue is going to be sacrificed as well.

Oh right, ask it why Virtue will be sacrificed.
