Don't listen to him, he's obviously not himself. The clown is fucking with our heads. Don't let the clown win, we still stand a chance of winning Graven back and smiting this cunt.

Huh, either he is getting really pissy about not being killed or something is messing with hims mind. Check his thoughts and settings again to make sure that those have not been changed

This is an obvious ploy! The clown is either using a voice throw spell like ours, has hacked control of Davros, or shifted us to an alternate timeline where he's an asshole again.

I highly doubt he's been waiting all this time to say horrible things to his daughter- it doesn't make sense with the self sacrifice and suicide. (Unless he was pulling a crazy batman gambit, counting on us to stop him each time).

(not)Davros is wrong about Graven's feelings for you, and he's wrong about you too, Mags.

>I don’t want to be dead! Or inside Lizbeth!
Beats being all the way dead. Or trapped inside a torture gem.

...this is totally going to end with all our allies dead and inside Lizbeth's head, isn't it.

clearly clown is winning because she talked the author into railroading into a bad end for this quest :V

we should dump him in a pit full of horny sergals to punish him for this thought-crime

>>474958
Ugh. Maggy, Clown must be in Davros. He would never say that, also it's not even true. Anyway, we gotta kill Clown, so... fulfill your father's last wish. I suspect that Clown can just swap bodies into whatever unsecured construct is nearby. We'll probably have to kill the duck too.

Also we're not going to do a transfer, we're gonna reverse his death. It's time magic, just roll with it.

>>474958
Sigh
"Clown seems to be messing with his head. Or messing with our perceptions. Either way..."
Shove a sock in Davros' mouth
"Regardless, he's wrong. Remember how we killed Pride, then time changed and then Pride died thousands of years ago? Or how Ridcully ambushed and killed almost all of us before Kevros finished him off, then we woke up at the party? Or how Davros was a mass-murdering psychopath and then he wasn't?
Graven is only dead until he stops having had died."
Hug Maggy
"If we win then he'll have never died, but if we lose we'll all be dead. You're an assassin, you have experience curing people of chronic survival. Kill the clown."

RULES LAWYER: Graven's soul WAS transferred directly from the body. Specifically, it was transferred directly to a gem for safe keeping. That's good enough!

>>474980

Have more faith in the author.

...hmm.

Oracle: Where is the current location of Envy? You told us before that your goal was to end all suffering. How can that goal be completed if Clown breaks the quest, or stops it by orchestrating a time loop? She is acting counter to your goals, so tell us where she is so we can kill her. Or just tell us how to kill her, if that's simpler.

Eh, Clown put up more of a fight than a lot of bosses I have seen. Besides, we still have Oracle and Irucundus running around and we don't even know what the deal with those guys is yet. (Well, Oracle might have gone evil-buddhist, but that is mostly speculation at this point.)

Wait, won't Graven be able to talk directly to Mag in the same way the rest of us voices have been?

You got more than that, Liz. You've now got a bunch of foci crystals at your disposal, you're a goddamn reality warper, and the protagonist in a universe that's already meta-revealed itself to be nothing more than a game. So just hack reality and set Graven equals alive, already.

>unable to fix with time travel
>event too far away
>in time
Gee, is it just me, or is the solution to that problem blatantly obvious.

>>475171
Yes, we can fix this. We're not giving up. Search your database for data on golems that use existing souls, anything on resurrection or advanced necromancy. Come to think of it, if Graven is able to switch to Maggy like that, could we just make him a golem body and then have him switch to it? Then he could control it, maybe, if there's the proper interface set up for him.

>>475176
>hack the game
Hey, that's an idea. Clown was able to do it, so we should too, right? She could switch bodies at will. That probably means her focus crystal was powerful enough to do exactly what we're trying to do now. Unfortunately we still don't know how to use the focus crystals, right? I think what we want to do is find Jacob. He should know how to use them, and has also survived beyond death in a previous timeline.

Don't leave Maggy alone. She is not in a good place right now. I think the best thing we can do for her is ask her to review her life as it is now- her face is healed, she has a bunch of friends that really care about her beyond just sex, and she's an awesome ninja. And we're going to get Graven back, promise her that.

We KNOW we will, anyway, because we changed his fate with that painting. He will be there in the end.

After we get Maggy calmer and less depressed, we should cover up Graven's body and clean things up a bit. Everyone's covered in blood! Then make our way to wherever the control center is for this flying castle and put it back in the ground. Hang on, wouldn't the control center be Oracle?

>make our way to wherever the control center is for this flying castle and put it back in the ground.
Um… I think you’re a little bit confused here. We’re in a temple on the ground. The big flying city hasn’t emerged from the ground yet, so that’s probably going to be the next dungeon… the last one even if things keep going like this.
>unable to fix with time travel
I can’t time travel. At least not far enough back to make any difference.

>just hack reality and set Graven equals alive, already.
Should I really try that? I mean, the only one able to do so far was bat shit insane and I got a feeling I know why.
>Search your database for data on golems that use existing souls, anything on resurrection or advanced necromancy.
Hmmm, Necromancy is a myth, resurrection is a wet dream and any use of souls shatters them.
>could we just make him a golem body and then have him switch to it?
Wasn’t that the idea? At least until Serge said it was impossible but still… maybe it will work…
>I think what we want to do is find Jacob.
If I’m going to guess then his with the oracle, so we will have to wait until we can get onboard that flying city… somehow…
Graven s-says that it won’t reach the surface for a-another two or three hours…
Perfect for a nap and a level up then, eh?

>Don't leave Maggy alone. She is not in a good place right now.

I need to be alone...
No you don’t…

So, let’s look at our options here…
We can try to hack the game, which sounds very risky…
We can try making a golem or use an already completed one to compose Graven with…
Or we can wait for the city to arise and ask Jacob for help…
Alternative, we can seduce Maggy and create that lizard harem… No, bad Liz! No cookie!

>>475379
Do something about Maggy? I thought Graven would be way better at comforting her than us. He's known her for much much longer, after all. Maybe we should try that golem plan after all, but that's not time-sensitive. We could ask these guys if they've seen any golems around, or if Hans knows anything about souls and coming back from death.

I guess we can try? Take her aside to talk though, not in front of everyone. Ask her to talk about how she feels right now. Sometimes, it helps to put things into words. It would probably be good for her to get some crying done, too, and you can offer your shoulder for that.

>It was Davros' rant that made her lose all those happiness points. why didn't she feel at least a little better when it became apparent that the clown was fucking with her head?
Yes, because having your father tell you how much he hates you and spit you in the face right before he dies doesn’t scar you at all. Especially if you already have a lot of abandonment issues there already. And she did just see her mutilated boyfriend corpse at the same time.
>I thought Graven would be way better at comforting her than us.

>We could ask these guys if they've seen any golems around.
I did see a few of those low quality maintenance ones… otherwise, no.
>Or if Hans knows anything about souls and coming back from death.
Well, I do have this healing spell that can bring people back to life, thought the soul must never have left the body so it only works right before death or a few seconds after it.
It’s basically the spell I used but more powerful and doesn’t need the soul to be willing when used.

Game over.

Exit dosbox already. Let's see what the real OS is when you're not busy emulating obsolete operating systems to run ancient 8-Bit games.

Load to see how much data was lost.

That's not dosbox, it's IBM PC-DOS 3.0
That means it's probably running on-metal on an AT. (Which is interesting, since these graphics would require VGA hardware)

Ok, reload your save from just before Graven died.

buy and install the modern remake of pixel adventure and whine about it being too different from the original

I suppose that's what I get for taking anything in this game at face value.

But the remake is too different!

The updated the sprite-set, but only for the player characters, which makes them look awkward and clunky compared to everything else. They don't even fit on the grid right.

And someone thought it would be a great idea to use the ugly full sized face pics in dialog. Stupid things are totally distracting and break up the flow, and don't even look like the people they're supposed to.

The say nothing of the fact they made the XP curve laughably easy, and slashed shop prices everywhere. And the bonus dungeons are absurdly huge and tedious, and simultaneously filled with overpowered loot and way too much experience, completely wrecking the progression of the game.

Plus the new translation leaves out all the classic jokes, covers up all the sex and naughtiness, and changes names. (Kevlos? Etched? Lisa? Really?). To say nothing of what they did to the color pallette (my eyes!) or how they massacured the original music score and smell-o-vision.
