"I'm starting to miss those days where the worst I had to deal with was a mountain of paperwork."

"Oh stop being so dramatic. You're getting egg on your face."

"How can you be so calm. You almost died last night!"

"If I had a kushel for every case where something tried to kill me, well I wouldn't be a millionaire but I'd be damn close."


Speaking of last night, what did I do? And why does my head hurt so much?

She's right stop slouching you have an image you need to project, oh and you got real drunk, told her your life story a bit, rubbed her chin and called her reaaaal cute, that you really wanted her, then sleep befell you as you were still real drunk and you mentally woke up in some demon world thing, and she said she's heard worse proposals and thought it funny.

Oh and as went into another dimension, we screamed into some demon things mind in a multi-tude of voices and songs and managed to actually cause him to explode, it was fun!

"Well, if my understanding of the Governor's finances is correct you'll be a millionaire soon enough anyway.

Speaking of which, do your handlers know when they'll schedule our wedding?
I'm ok with using it as bait, but I don't want it sprung on me as a surprise."

Then straighten up and start eating breakfast. Wait for her to start taking a drink.

"So, when do you want to have kids?"

"So about last night..."

"Don't worry. You had far more than anyone should drink. Just don't do that next time. You're so much cuter when sober."

"Well my mother was moved to a new home when pregnant with me. If she goes out of the city, the master of the Prostitute's Guild needs to be informed. Maybe he knows something."

"That's good get on that. I'll see you later 'dear'."

Well the majority of the staff is getting screened to make sure there aren't any potential assassins or what-not among them.

There's the Gamin guardian,Dogol. Pretty sure he hates me. I'd like to get him to stop.

And then there's Alicia, Vivians friend. Pretty sure she hates me too. Maybe I can find out why.

Who should I take?

>>583164
Alicia. She has experience with blackops and information gathering. She doesn't seem to hate you, so much as she's wholly unimpressed. She'll make sure you survive, however, because beyond the professional black eye it would drive a wedge between her and Vivian.

"That last night was the closest anyone has come to killing her. She may have told you otherwise but that really shook her up. To die by some asshole she couldn't even see. All for your sake. I don't know what she sees in you, but I know you've been returning her advances; and you damn well better stop before she gets killed."

Well the door's closed, and locked so that's one way no one is taking. I can't really tell where the sound is coming from. There's a bit of an echo here, so I can't tell where the sound is coming from.

There's no one behind the couch. I looked. The note on the other hand is a bunch of stuff. Let me see; receipts, sketches of various...things. A letter from the Imperial Guild Service.

"By order of the Governor Pako; All Guilds in service to the Gamin family and by association to the Rezan Empire, shall see a 140% increase in guild dues."? Why would there be an increase so drastic? "Because of Gamin's loyalty to the Empire and its cause blah blah blah sharing the burden blah blah blah duty of citizens and so on and so on." Well that would explain why the Slavebroker's guild downsized itself.

He's stuttering a lot too. He knows something but doesn't want to talk about it. Maybe I can coax it out?

Lets see how nervous we can make him.

Tell him that you have been doing well. Say that up until recently you have been a detective for the police force. And very recently promoted to Governor of all things. Then make some small talk and try to rattle him enough so he gets really worried. Honestly whatever he is trying to hide is probably not important but you never know if he is caught up in your mess.

You want to act like you know all his secrets already so he gets nervous enough to blurt stuff out.

"Well help me figure out what happened here first."

"Well ah-I told you didn't I? I got caught in my closet."

"Give me a bigger story, how did that happen?"

"Oh well you see I was expecting um...company soon so I was trying to decide what to wear for the occasion. They were picky clients you see. I'd check the front door often you see they don't bother to knock and wait for me to open for them. I wouldn't put up with it if they didn't pay so well. Anyway, I saw a silk coat in the back which I felt was ah-rich enough for the occasion but when I went for it, I got stuck, the closet closed behind me and I was trapped inside!"

How does a closet close by itself?


"What are you doing back there?"

"Admiring the view".

Try to keep him talking while you fish whatever he kicked down there out.

Ask what he needs help with aside from misbehaving furniture.

You should probably check how Alicia is doing, unless there's anything in particular you want to say or ask him before.

>>590334
"Calling bullshit."
Dude's not being 100% here. If I had to guess, I'd assume he was in there to avoid a sudden onset of Shattered Kneecaps Disorder, a very serious affliction brought on by the stress from unpaid debts to powerful factions.

Of course he's full of shit, but he's got his reasons for defending whoever roughed him up. Likely because he expects more trouble if he doesn't.

It'd be sensible to reassure him.

"You helped raise me, and in my book that makes you practically family. If you need anything I can help with, let me know. I'd like to make time for a social call later, time permitting."

Then leave it at that. Trying to ferret out what's going on with him will have to wait until he's not in the room, or until he decides to trust us.

Something is wrong. Someone this desperate to hide something is most likely doing it out of fear. I agree that he's probably hiding from someone very powerful and very angry.

"I'm admiring the view. Besides getting caught in closests and old door hinges, are you sure there isn't anything you need help with?"

"There is nothing else Sergei! I can just bring someone in to fix this old house, nothing more!"

"I'm sure. So you won't mind if I see what you kicked under the couch."

"No! I mean, you don't need to, it was nothing important just some old-er-new gift given to me by a returning client thereisreallynoneedforyoutogounderhtereyoucancomebackUP!"

I hit a sensitive spot.

Look, it is blatant that he is trying unsuccessfully to hide things. By all signs his situation is completely out of control already, so it is likely to help and unlikely to get much worse if he discusses things with a sympathetic governor who is also a trained detective.

"It's a gift! That's all! See? It's just a jewel. A blue, eerie glowing jewel..."

oh THERE we are. i was wondering about that.

ask how much, if it's just a simple jewel it can't be worth much, and he can get more of them.

Interesting. A Zui-hu, a magic bauble that provides advice and can bend the will of the bearer in times of dire need. Smart examples will refrain from doing so very often, as forcing the bearer to do what it wants erodes the bearer's mind, eventually to uselessness.

Zui-hu go dormant if they are not handled frequently, and tend to be demanding and confused when awoken after a long period of dormancy. Retrograde amnesia, essentially.

Tsang Naji are supposedly more resistant to the domination effect, but most users and most Zui-hu try to achieve synergy instead of dominance.

Zui-hu can be very persuasive, or very silly. They can be brilliant, or insane. The most powerful examples can bend reality itself, but don't remind them of that. They usually don't remember they can.

"I don't know anymore. It started off so damned simple. Pako raised taxes on the guilds, I couldn't afford them, hell a lot of guilds couldn't afford to pay them. Bastard said it was for the war effort, but anyone could tell he was putting it away for some expensive new toy he has his eye on. Was it you?"

"What?! N-no! That was just some rumor leaked in the tabloids, don't read into that stuff!"

"A joke. I know you don't swing that way Sergei. Anyway, these men came by promising huge payment in return for exclusive rights to your mother. I agreed your mother agreed, it seemed like a typical contract with a new regular. I had enough money to keep this guild going even as the governor cracked down.

Then one day this other guy. He gave me that box said to hold onto it on punishment of death! They guy came from the I.I.F! Friggin Imperial authority was threatening me! Told me it was important that I hold onto it until someone who could interface with the...zeedoo, yooohoo whatever the hells it was called came by. And someone would, he assured me. Turns out my new benefactors belonged to this cult. I don't know the name since they never told me. But they knew the I.I.F gave me this. Demanded I turn it over or they kill me. I cut ties as fast as I could and moved your mother away from them. They've been quiet for a long time, so I thought I was safe. Then just a few days ago I get some anonymous letter. 'The One is Many. We will come.' I dunno what that means, but I remember that cult speaking all spooky to me like that before so you know...when I heard knocking I thought they came for me so I hid. I didn't know it was you..."

"I didn't knock."

Zui-hu literally translates as "wisdom ball." We can go into further detail about it later, but even if we had no idea what it is, the fact that two different powerful groups want it is reason enough to be worried.

Take care of the immeadiate security concerns. Alicia should have found you while you were questioning Jenwin. She probably found the intruders and may be in trouble.

well, a two pronged attack should fare better, also you have a weapon. also also, try using some chosen one powers at it.

You do have a flanking advantage now though the little guy might try something.

It occurs to me that you should start carrying a better weapon (maybe a gun) with you next time you go out. Since all signs indicate you will be getting into a lot of fights with a series of increasingly baroque eldrich beasts you should really have something better that crummy hatchet.
...Actually that reminds me of something those blue gems can sometimes do. Lets see if we can [Infuse] your axe.

Well that seems to confirm the theory that the Bones of Three is you, but on the other hand the cultist in the theater referred to you as the Two. I would syspect that the Two was referring to the berserker spirit living in your head, except he still called you the Two in the dream world where you didn't have any trace of superpowered murderous rage.

We should have expected this from a cult of fleshcrafters. No matter; new policy: When we kill one of these guys, we keep it under constant watch until the corpse has been completely incinerated. Same goes for any limbs we cut off of them.

Sorry about that. Anytime you see that particular shade of magic it probably has something to do with us.

Same color as the orb you have in that tube by the way.

Anyways keep on the offensive. Take on the big guy and distract him so he does not hurt Alicia.

"Gods! FUCKING DAMMIT!"

I'm so fucking sick of these cultists and their stupid prophecies and their stupid monster shit!

"Ye-yeah. It was some guy. A guy I killed yesterday."

"Then why was he here today."

"You saw him, he's using some magic. Something I've never seen before."

"How do you cast a spell on you're own corpse?"

"Exactly. It doesn't make sense."

well, there is more then one cultist. probably cast spells on eachother. what about the other one we... dis-armed?

I'd guess whatever unpleasant entity he worships is what keeps bringing him back. Anyway, check what happened to the other guy. His arm looked cauterized so he isn't likely to die of blood loss.

>>596153
Obviously, he wasn't the one who cast the spell. Don't tell me you assumed that the cult's leader would show up at an operation, and would also be the only made.

Help her inside, grab the guy, and get back to the governor's estate as quickly as possible - you can debrief him there, and you don't have the personnel to secure this area.

No I don't. We're heading back to the estate now, and I'll request a team come in later to investigate.

Also I'm going to need a better weapon. Damn cultists and their goddamn weird magic. Why can't this prefect get some normal criminals for a while?

The armless one passed out a while ago, so I stuffed him in the trunk until we get back. He can be interrogated when he wakes up.

But that dead, not-dead cult leader is what bothers me. He was really transformed. No magic I know can do something like that. And his corpse was shipped off to the local morgue. Every body involved in officer investigations are stored there in a locked wing. How'd anyone even manage to get in?

"...so what happens to me now Sergei?"

"You stay with me for now. You are sort of an accessory to all this so we'll need to keep you somewhere safe."

"Safe from who?"

""That's what I want to know."

"I already told you all I know Sergei."

"It's not going to stop those guys from looking for you. Nope, this investigation is still just starting. We'll need to return to your house later to secure any evidence or clues that may still be there. And I want to investigate the morgue. I want to know how someone managed to even reach his corpse and revive him like."

"I'll go to the morgue. If I want to kill that abomination I need to know what brought it to life in the first place."

"No one is going anywhere yet! First we'll meet with Vivian again. See what she found out, and decide from there. But jumping off now, especially after that thing nearly killed you doesn't help us."

"That thing didn't nearly kill me! It-rrgh!"

"Hold still, this cut runs real deep."

as a wise old man once said: magic must defeat magic.
unless you can punch a fireball out of the air so hard to ceases to be rather then burning you, you can't fight magic with muscles.

>>597296

Unless you are us! We are technically sort of magic, I mean we killed a being from another dimension by channeling the power of utmost terror into it's mind till it exploded, and we can supercharge things.

Our magic also made it unable to regenerate, as it mentioned so we could possibly behead it and separate it to kill it.

"A lot of blood was shed getting that. Look closely at the photograph."

"Um. A bunch of ironclads."

"And?"

"Flying Hegemony banners?"

"Anything else?"

"Uh. Nothing I can tell.

"That formation. Those are a vanguard to a war fleet. The traitor downplayed what we were dealing with. This isn't going to be some border skirmish. We're going to see a full blown invasion."

"But what about the mainland? All of Eastaland?"

"I don't know, that's what pisses me off. I hate going into crap like this not knowing what's going on. But the fact the cult is connected to this fleet just made things a hell of a lot worse for this island."

we need to prepare as best we can, pull more cannons out of storage or strip half constructed ships for theirs.

If the cult is connected it's very likely that they are infact the true vanguard, meant to weaken defenses and shore up issues beforehand to cause trouble for the mainland before the invasion.

Which means we're not their target. Or rather, we're not their only target. If they're a guerilla expeditionary force, then they're going to aim at prominent government figures (Sergei), as well as prominent military leaders, and military buildings and materiel.
And if they've infiltrated high enough that Vivian doesn't know who to trust, then there's a good chance they've got into the ranks too. Two-man System for everything would work to reduce the chance of sabotage, but it'd be a hell of a strain right before an invasion. A way to identify the cultists is REALLY needed.

>>599537
blasphemy? if they have to say something negative about what they worship...

>>599477
We need to know how much time we have. How long will it take for that formation to reach us, if this is their intended target? How long is the enemy's supply chain? Magic tends to reduce logistical overhead, but I've noticed that raiding parties still tend to live off the land- which is utterly impractical for an ironclad.

Who can we trust to send a warning to? Would sending a warning to multiple parties on the mainland work? What do we lose if the enemy learns we know about their invasion?

What kind of defensive force can we mobilize here?

>>599477
"At this point we have to assume we have traitors in the ranks. It's the simplest explanation for how that corpse got up and walked out of a supposedly secure morgue, as well as all the other security 'lapses' we've had.
As far as the invasion goes, the best solution is probably to make it seem like we're far more prepared than we are. You have contacts on the mainland and a secure means to contact them, right? Call them and arrange for one or two sub groups to get here before this fleet does, then run silent until the hostile fleet closes to attack. If we look unprepared but swiftly eliminate the enemy fleet anyway then it'll discourage further attempts. At the least it would stall their war effort for awhile, and give us some time to properly prepare.
Make the calls personally. Let each person think they're the only one you call; any of them who don't try to get us our support can be assumed to be traitors.

This still leaves the question of how the Hegemony and the cult are related, but I expect the cult has quietly taken control over the Hegemony."

"At this point we have to assume we have traitors in the ranks. But the best way to stop them now is to make them think we have much more than we do right now. Right now, this city has the best weapons on the island, but even then all of it is outdated by at least 20 years. You can pull a lot of strings right, get some bigger, better stuff to defend the island?"

"Of course I can. The threat of Hegemony ought to make the pencil pushers move a lot faster."

"Then you shuold do that. If we can stop this fleet, which looks pretty small by the way, we could get any other fleet following them to back off too. Sounds good?"


"Best option I can think of right now. Good thinking Sergei."

"Oh and make sure you make the calls yourself and only to people you really know or something. Let each person think they're the only one you call; any of them who don't try to get us our support can be assumed to be traitors."


"The cult managing to infiltrate the mainland? I doubt that happened but I suppose it's best to assume..."

"Well, yes that would be the best thing to do since that other close contact of yours was a turncoat. We have to assume they have connections everywhere. It's the simplest explanation for how that corpse got up and walked out of a supposedly secure morgue."


"Wait. What corpse? What morgue?"

"That's what I was going to report. The cultists back in the theater. Something bought them back. Not just bought them back, but made them sentient. At least the leader was. Alicia was injured fighting the thing."

"Fuck sake, there's always something else. You encountered that at the guildmaster's manor right? Why was it there? What do you mean by sentient?"

it was able to think. wasn't some dumb corpse puppet, it was alive again, somehow.

and the thing they were after was this. show her that orb.

>>600256
It was talking, and responded to pain. Talking means somebody was thinking about what to say, but if he was a puppet then he wouldn't have had a pain response when I cut off his arm.
That's why Alicia needs to get a full workup for both medical AND magical problems. That thing could have killed her, but instead decided to hold off until I could get outside. I'm nowhere near the fighter that Alica is, but we're supposed to believe that my one blow crippled and chased off something that could beat her? I'm not that naive. It kept her alive for a reason, and if they can do things we've never seen before and believed impossible then we have to take every precaution. We just don't know what they could have done without her knowing.
That's what we were talking about when you arrived.
I know she's proud, but for the sake of everyone - herself included - if she refuses to get checked out then I'm going to order her to do it or sit in quarantine.
Could you try to convince her to go along with the checkup? She trusts you, and I don't want her to have more reason to dislike me.

She won't listen to me, but I really think she should get her injuries looked at. That thing could have killed her but it didn't. And yet when I fought the thing, it ran off after one swing."

"Well there's probably going to be magic there. Can't I also get a mage or wizard or something to come along."

"Of course, but there aren't many about. I could call the guard, but that would take too much time for them to get here. 'Your' house guard only has two available, and I'm going to need the other to watch Alicia, and get rid of any residual effects the monster may have on her. Well look at that. Both of them are harassing Alicia now."

"So which one can I bring along?"

"Well what do you think you will need?
Illoni, the small goblin half there is an Arcana Theory graduate. Even if we don't know what magic is bringing the dead back, she can figure it out. She can hold her own, but against what you described, I don't think so.
Tumov, the one Alicia is pushing over is supposed to be your tutor...well tutor for the heir your supposed to have. General Theory major, he's not as good at unraveling magic and figuring out what makes it work, but he's pretty good at just ripping it apart. And I suppose he's passable at fixing any broken organs or ruptured bones."

"You think I'm going to run into something that bad?"

"I don't know what you are running into 'dear', I know less than you do right now. You at least fought off the beast. I didn't even see it."

"Oh. Right."

Should I even tell her about the glowy thing? Or should I just get the mage and get going? I mean this blue pearl thing did help me fight the zombie, but we don't know what magic is being used here. She may just confiscate it or something.

i feel that we should take Illoni, figure out how it works and make a focused counter-spell in case there are more of them in hiding for when the cult tells them to attack.

>>602967
Knowing what they can do and how is more important than stopping any one of their plots.
Go with the researcher.

>>603127
Coutner-point: If Alicia does have a nasty curse or something, Illoni would be the one more likely to spot it and solve it. Tumov would be the best to have in a fight (which is what we are expecting).

Bring Tumov.

The researcher would be best for us currently, we need someone who can pinpoint the magic they are trying to use and are currently using.

Also we may want to keep the object hidden for now.

I vote you tell her about the gem and its effect on the axe. I am pretty sure the cultists know you have it since you used it against them in battle, and I think she has more sense than to lock up a magic weapon in the middle of an emergency without a really good reason. (And if she does have such a reason, it is probably something that we should know.)

"Where did you get that?"

"I need this, especially where I'm going."

"That thing has been filed as missing for decades! What am I supposed to tell my superiors?! That I let you wander off with one of the Empire's most precious artifact?"

it's already attached to you, i mean, we're already in your head. may as well let the cat out of the bag now.

>>605864
[Cross-quest information is allowed, right?]
It's called a Zui-hu, and it's most likely the single most dangerous artifact to ever exist. They are prone to amnesia, frighteningly intelligent, inscrutable, fickle, do not experience time in a strictly linear way, and have a moral code that's closer to "blue and orange" than "good and evil".
The second most dangerous thing about it is that it can warp reality. Don't ask about the first.

You can let her know that. She'll be super surprised you know that much, but the dangerous parts of powerful artifacts are not things to be playing close to your chest as far as close allies are concerned - and she's so close that if she were a traitor the situation would be hopeless no matter what you told her.
If she wants to know how you know that, you can say you don't know, but you're certain it has something to do with Lord Venian and time-eating monsters.

[Are we allowed to play with the timeline? If so we could probably convince Veni to establish a codephrase exchange system to identify trustworthy people. Something like PKE where each agent is told to memorize a phrase, and an encrypted version of that phrase, and any 'trustworthy' people (meaning us) would have the decryption key and could decrypt any agents phrase without ever risking the system being broken or suborned.]

Tell her that you are not wandering off with it, it is wandering off with you. She is familiar with how it talks to people and sometimes forms connections with them, right? Well it has done that now, with you.
...Actually, if she really wants you could hand us to her and we can tell her ourselves.

Well it seems like we were correct on our assumption that something had to have happened here. Weapons out and prepare to enter into what may potentially be a hostile zone!

While this is bad for the people who were in there, I'd rather deal with the likely dangers of now of a few rune traps or unruly corpses than the dangers that would be implied if we got to the morgue an unsubtle tentacle zombie burst out of and nothing seemed amiss.

>>609297
Don't be intimidated. Whatever happened here happened hours ago, so in all likelihood the worst you'll encounter is some magical traps or a small ambush group looking to swell their undead ranks.

Looks like something bashed the door down on the way in, murdered people inside, and then dragged the corpses away.
The door bashed outwards suggests that there was a larger group (Or, worse, a larger individual) that forced their way out afterwards.

You're going to want to check the records to find out how many corpses were stored here and how many people here were on duty, then count the number of bodies left inside. That should give us the minimum number of undead abominations running around right now.

You go in first, and cover the mage.

Agreed. We'll do this by the numbers.
First: Clearing. We systematically go through each and every room one by one, checking for threats and sealing sections off as they are secured. This prevents us from being ambushed while we conduct our investigation. You brought door wedges, right?
Second: Find the registry to determine how many bodies SHOULD be in each area.
Third: Go through the areas one at a time to confirm the number of corpses. When you find a miscount have your mage check for residual magic and do a careful analysis of anything unusual she finds.

yeah, go through the palce carefully. don't want any surprises.

Head to the crematorium first. If you can secure that you can burn the rest of the bodies to make sure they stay dead.

"Y-yes?"

sergei:"Before I try to stuff that thing back in the furnace, can you tell me if there is any sort of pattern in that magic?"

"I-ah. There does seem to be an order, but I can't tell. The strings are all tied and tangled. I need time to understand them."

They are rising to fast to shove in the cremator, but head shots seem to work. Are you seeing the thing we are seeing where the zombies have pools of darkness with glowing eyes on their faces that dissipate when you blow their heads off?
If it is moving slowly enough and the others can cover the doorway, it might be worthwhile to just remove the limbs from the one climbing out of the oven instead of the head so Illoni can study it.

and be sure to turn the ovens on. an throw the other bodies in.

watch it boss, the string vision magic turned on for us too, and the bodies on the side have strings attached. the one you hit has had their string uhh... warped? it now has what i can only guess is the color of our string to you superimposed on it.

[Time-freeze cult artifact]

>>624147
It is a hollow screw-together amulet, and the runes on the joint are out of alignment with each other. The symbols look like they are for wind, flame, earth, and water, and the underlying power symbol on either side of the joint. I'd want a look at the other side later, if it survives. I wonder what other runes are on this thing?

The obvious thing to try is aligning the symbols.

>>624990
get moving boyo, get that artifact and deal with it.

Damn. I was hoping that freezing the artifact would sever its links, not freeze the zombies. This could be a problem.
The artifact is almost certainly the source of all this. Grab it, hand it to our mage with instructions to figure out how to turn it off, and get everybody out of the building while we can.
Once you're outside you need to seal the door and send a runner to fetch the other mage and a few squads to clear this place out. Our current mage is to stay here until the artifact is off - we don't know what it does yet, so we DO NOT want to move it until it has been made safe.
After the artifact is disabled, return with our mage and have her work on Alicia. It may seem harsh to put her to work after a traumatic event, but the best way to help her is to have her focus on something that will occupy her mind for the next several hours.
The more she can push her recent memories aside and focus on tasks that require her full attention, the weaker the impact of her trauma will be.

>>624990
Remember what we told you about the Zui-hu. Do not be surprised when we wield reality bending powers like this. Do not encourage it either, though.

Take the cultist artifact, twist it so the runes on either end match to each other, and then get away from it. Time will resume passing in very short order.

>>625565
Get out of the building and start buttoning it up. Hand your mage the artifact and tell her to figure out how to turn it off. Send a runner to fetch a proper occult-cleanup force.
You are going to stay there until your mage had turned the artifact off, because it CANNOT stay here without you and CANNOT be brought anywhere else until it's under control.

Ok, I don't think we can carry the artifact with us (since if that didn't work to disable it it will start shooting fire and lightning agains), so see if its halves pull apart, and if that doesn't open it that shoot if as you head out.

axe them while they are still sorta frozen.

So that jewel thing managed to slow them down once. Can it be done again? But permanent?

not without getting access to the device again. can maybe do one at a time. it's the threads. hit the device and everything connected to it slowed down too. if they are a mindless mass they may charge in small numbers instead of forming up into a living wave. in which case we can slow one and then you cut it's head off.

Woah, woah! What did I tell you? The jewel is not a toy, it's dangerous to use it like this. You want to wake up in an entirely different timeline where you're your own father? I don't think so! You want to wake up and realize you can't think of what to do on your own at all, and have to ask us if you should brush your teeth before breakfast or after? I don't think so!

take a look.

Nice ass.

Though worshipping nice things doesn't get you power, of course it also helps that most monstrosities drive you insane and thus as a collateral effect they start worshiping and drawing others in and then it's like a cumulative effect, especially if those mad powers grant actual power.

As it is it seems like those crystals seem to be growing a bit brighter when you got closer, make sure not to touch the big glowing thing and listen in.

When you said crystals you mean this thing? Oops, I snapped one off.

sorry, perspective was screwy, looked shorter distance then it was.

and nothing exploded when you took the crystal so.. whatever. maybe look for another door if none then go back outside and walk down from there.

You could go outside and climb down the side. It didn't look that steep.

Well possibly, as said our view is really sort of skewed here, though I'd suggest keeping the crystal with you if for protection then anything else. Last time we came here had some sort of demonic incursions.

Ok the glowy crystal things are machines of some sort.

And guessing that glowing pit with the energy is a magic elevator.

So start wildly fiddling and see what you can get happening.

I honestly have no idea. It's some really really old Rezan glyph. The upper families use these all the time. Unless you are trained to learn what they are though they can mean anything. A family crest, a coat of arms, a virtue, an ideal, a warning.

Vivian may have an idea. She rubs shoulders with fops all the time. Now if only I knew how to get out of here.

>>650920
The cultists are being controlled by an otherworldly being, though. That being showed up and took credit for it last time it brought us here.

Whoever you are: Flesh is going to keep winding up here until you find that being and make it stop bringing flesh here. It is likely nearby, menacing this flesh from the previous time this flesh was brought here.

Looks like the entity speaks in programming language. Kind of like how we try to be professional because we don't know what the @#$% we're doing with all this shiny new technomagic.

Answer in short bursts and don't try to convince them using philosophy, they probably can't hear your poetics with their communication morphenes. Treat their judgment as final and non-negotiable, because you don't have the skill or tools to convince this alien entity.

not our fault.

"Uh-buh-the flesh was forced here unwillingly by some crazy magic."
The 'magic' forced the Transition of the Flesh. But the Flesh chose to come to the domain of I after Transition.

"The flesh is lost! The flesh would rather be at home."

HOME. Unidentified. The Flesh shall describe HOME and return.

"But I-but the flesh doesn't know how to return HOME."

Irrelevant.

"The flesh doesn't know the domain of I."

Domain of I is Domain of I. The Flesh shall return HOME.

I see what you mean by non-negotiable. Okay new approach.

"The flesh cannot return home. It is trapped by magic of...the One."

The One? The One persists though the One was destroyed. Unacceptable.

I think it worked.

"Yes, the One still exists. It brings the flesh here. The flesh cannot leave until the One is destroyed."

Impossible. The One cannot bring the Flesh from HOME to the domain of I without Point. Point nonexistent.

>>653127
Ask if the point looks like >>632680 this. Mention that the device was bringing animation to deceased flesh.

If that isn't it ask them to describe Point.

Point may have been shunted to other reality or dimension rather then destroyed.

>>653127
"The One brought Flesh, ergo Point exists.
Describe 'Point'. Flesh has observed many anomalies."

"The One brought Flesh, ergo Point exists."

The One existed before the Point. The Point cannot exist without the Point. The One is no more. Therefore the Point is no more.

"Am I floating...The Flesh has seen the Point."

The Flesh will rev-Point located. The Point exists. The Pretender returns. Re-evaluate.

"I'm floating...oh this can't be good."

The Point must not be. The Point must be destroyed.

Uh oh.

Should we overload his communication programs with random memes and singing like last time?

>>654801
"The flesh is in agreement. The Point must be destroyed."

The Flesh was trying to destroy the Point when it sent the Flesh here.

The exchange is made.

"Does that mean I can go home? I mean, will the Flesh return-"

Go.

"They're falling! They're falling and not getting up! Dof-ka, Seenwe-ka, Gorven-ka thank you all!"

"I need a raise...not getting paid enough to deal with this shit."

"Sergei! The governor's down!"

Goodbye mister deflated balloon fist head!

Wake up already.

put the ball/point down. and tell someone to figure out how to destroy it. use tongs if you have to move it again.

"I'm ok!
New priority: We need to get this artifact to Tumov and have him destroy it immediately."

I guess. Till Tumov gets here, I can try to get Illona to verify.

"Illona"

"I. AM. SO. SICKOFTHISSHIT!"

Uh. So you talk to my brain by magic or some shit? Can you heal Illona's brain so she stops being scared stupid?

Depends. That's usually up to the mediator who secures this connection. Sometimes we're stuck with one person for the time being, sometimes we get bounced around.

Go into the room and make sure there are no more hostiles. Then reinforce the barricades and take a few minutes to sleep.

Hug Illona.

we may need the orb for that. we can try now though. touch her head so he have a connection.

"Um. There there? I know these past few hours have been hard on you but, could you please forget about them?"

"Forget...?"

"Yeah. Just let the ball thing do it's thing and forget."

"Governor! Your eyes!"

"My eyes?"

well, she is talking about something other then being freaked out, so maybe it worked? and yeah, your eyes are green now. get bluer from using our powers. can't use them too many times or you go insane.

Well, at least it was a recent memory and not something that had been integrated into long-term memory. But willy-nilly memory editing is how you end up making vegetables.

Outright removing memories like that is less desirable than... call it neural chiropractic therapy. Adjusting the links and reducing the priority placed on certain traumatic memories is usually less damaging to a subject. Breaking certain memory cross-links and encouraging new, less exciting, ones to form is the basic technique. It is a lot slower than just cutting a memory out, though.

>>662413
Oh, hey, your eyes went green. Nice color, but I think that's not how things usually work.

"Hang on, my eyes are green? The hells are you talking about?"

"I mean sir that they are glowing and green."

"Here hold this. When you start being not freaked out look at it. I need to see this. I don't see any green what are you talking about?"

"I mean they were green just a few moments ago sir!"

"You sir it wasn't a reflection or some trick of the light?"

"No, they were coming from the back of your eyes!"

"Well there's nothing now see?"
Why am I holding this?

Hey baby.

"Governooooooor...."

"What, are you feeling better?"

"This thing you gave me governor. It's...talking to me. Not in the same way as the last thing but it's still unsettling."

"Unsettling how?"

"It asked if I liked a pinna coloder? And that your fuzz extends to your-ahm....private regions."

"...it told you what?"

You told her what?

We asked her if she likes iced coconut alcoholic beverages and then mentioned that your fur does indeed go all the way down.

I have no idea why though.
