Unseen, I pull down his only clothing and wave it into the air. At least he knows where I am now.

The loincloth vanishes in his sight. Even I can't see it anymore, but I can feel it on my hand.

"Now what am I supposed to wear?!"

Toss it on his head and laugh a little. Now, you're not too injured for infiltration, right?

The pain already went away, though the damage is still there. I'll be fine.

I just noticed that anything I touch will turn invisible while I'm under the effect of this potion. It might prove useful later on.

>>56305

I grab hold of Murdelp, since he can't really see me right now. I quickly notice he doesn't turn invisible for some reason.

The wall we are facing has eight small holes with a peculiar formation on the center. I think this is the thing where we put the key in.

... But where?

>>56325
Touch Murdelp's lioncloth. See if it turns.

Try the top hole.

>>56325
Take off your clothes, it's making it too hard to think.

on a serious note, are they all identical?

>>56325
That looks like the rock formation near the entrance, but rotated. I can't quite figure out how it was rotated though, with only 3 rocks.

We should probably look around and ask a Dorf.

>>56393
Judging by the orientation of the rocks from earlier and the markings in the center, there appear to be two possibilities.
Lower left and lower right.

Now, you can take your 50% chance, or you can find a dorf and try to manipulate him into telling you the correct one.

The other Dorf is extremely puzzled, since he doesn't see me and all.

Now ask him about the lock. Keep moving, hopefully he won't even figure out you're just someone invisible.

Christ! Got a little psychotic didn't you Sanya? You're invisible, you could have put them in a headlock till they passed out or threatened the other one by drawing blood with your invisible spear!

On that note though, go up behind the other one and put it in a headlock and demand to know what's going on.

Uh. So you don't like killing to survive, but you'll do it because dorfs are gross?

I should probably threaten him a bit more. What should I say?

Threaten, in this order, his intestinesand other internal organs, his genitals, and then his beard.
Only escalate if it's not working.

What are you doing? What in the world has gotten into you?

What are you doing? What in the world has gotten into you?

Use your psychotic streak to your advantage, try to sound as crazy as you possibly can and tell him you don't want to kill him but unless he makes himself useful to you you won't be able to stop yourself.

If he's still paralyzed, choke him unconscious. Do your best NOT to touch him with your nose, there seems to be a danger of that with his head so close.

Force the dorf to put in the code for you. Why should you bother yourself when it could be treacherous and trick you with the wrong combination?

It likely won't try anything tricky if it's the one whose ass - er, beard - is on the line.

Kill him or don't, your choice, though it's worth it to remember that being nice usually gets you farther with people.

...Though since he apparently WANTS you to kill him, not really sure what "being nice" would entail.

Murdelp quickly appears, grasping to the AXE. He tries to look intimidating. His young appearance doesn't help him.

"Real cute, lad. I suppose ya' be da invisible guy's friend, eh? Best ya be holdin' to dat AXE 'coz we're goin' to battle."

I notice that the Dorf seems to be missing the axe he was holding back when I was looking by the entrance. His only equipment is his TURTLE MAIL; he's pretty weaponless.

What kind of available weapons do we have for him? Can we get him armed with available supplies?

Is Murdelp strong enough to even use that axe? Cuz if not you should probably exchange it with the dagger.

Give him the Hammer. All dwarves are naturally good with hammers and axes.

>>57428

Since Murdelp's using the AXE, the only weapons I have in my arsenal are the KNIFE, the HAMMER and the FIRE ROD. Knowing that the last one isn't working for some reason, we should eliminate that as a choice.

>>57417

Murdelp already admitted to being able to use the AXE. He seems capable, if not efficient.

(Just a re-update.)

The elf said it had unlimited uses but took a while to recharge, right?

Well anyway, I say give the dorf the hammer, it's always useful to have a blade around.

Lets give him the hammer. We are better with our trusty spear anyway.
