Well I guess im in position to argue with a magic gem here.

>You should probably ignore him. You have no idea where we've been. We're not really sure where we are right now either.

Well... this place is called 'Iron Mines' and right now we are in its deepest bowls, under the stern rule of a 'Montain King' this is a place where the worst criminals of 'Gorra Kingdom' sent to never see the light of day again.

What did you do and would you like to escape and go on a magical adventure?

ah, so how'd you fuck up then?

Haha, you think a rock is talking to you! Man you've been down in the caves too long.

So a criminal eh? What you do to get thrown down here?

I been fishing in the temple district... in the sacred lake of the 'Moon Goddess'. (One greedy shedevil i tell you.)

>Haha, you think a rock is talking to you! Man you've been down in the caves too long.

Its true... I been here longer than I would want to... somewhere between never and never.

>...would you like to escape and go on a magical adventure?

You don't have to ask me twice. Anywhere is better then here.

Before this goes too far, let me say a few things.
This gem is linked to a network of people who like to give advice. That's about the only thing we really have in common. We are very different people, and will give you different advice because of it.
Some of us will give you the most helpful advice we can, so that we may rejoice in your triumph. Some of us will give you terrible advice, so that we may laugh at your failure. Some of us will give you crazy or stupid advice, just to watch you freak out. We find that funny. Some others will try to get you to hook up with the mate of your dreams, for we are romantic fools. Some others will try to get you laid, for we are horny b*stards.
We cannot control you, and most of us don't want to. The final decision is yours, make the best one you can.
You'll notice that many of our voices come with a name. I am That Other Guy. Watch for my name, and I will try to give you advice of reason and caution.
Speaking of which, is there anyone around you? If so, you might want to hide this gem before they see and/or hear you talking with it.

Oh...damnit... its a Figarr, this mutt pick me clean if he finds out that I found something valuable.

-Ughh... it nothing... something got in my eye.
(phew... thanks 'Other Guy')

>>587488
yeeeees hide us, keep us safe, make us your precioussss. Nobody else should even see ussss.

So what sort of resources do you have to work with for a escape?

We sometimes have magical abilities and other times just advice and awesome 3rd person camera mode. If we can zap anyone or anything we will try our best but for now I would assume we are just a talking rock.

If you want to talk to us, don't think you need to talk, just think it, we can read surface thoughts well enough. As for now just tell us about this hellhole, your work schedule, and what we have to work with.

Figarr
-You'd better hurry up Zeeke the shift is almost over... and you don't wanna be in the tunnels after the light turns off.

-And don't forget your payment... half of your meal... I will wait in my cave.

Figarr walks off in one of the tunnels.

After a few minutes of walking through a labirinth like tunnels I reach a miners barracks.

>As for now just tell us about this hellhole, your work schedule, and what we have to work with.

Its a big cave with hole on top. All of the inmates sleep and eat in the hastly put together mud-houses made of clay and rock. My shift as well as all the other prisoners lasts all day and stops at the nightfall all mined iron ore is then exchanged for the food through a 'hole'. A simple but efficent system to keep this prison going. There are no guards at lower levels of this prison, but plenty on the upper ones. And as for what i have currently in my possesion...

1) Old rustly pickaxe
2) Prisoner robe
3) Miners pants
4) Pair of miners boots
5) Glowing gem (Maybe magic)

... and no one has ever thought to simply dig there way out... why? I mean if no guards are watching you you all might as well just work one big tunnel to dig well out of the city's walls and just run off in the middle of the night.

Ok got some basic stuff to work with then. Have a couple of ideas for escaping but we need more info first.

Whats the pecking order down here? That Figarr guy got you panicked for a moment there. Are you paying him with food for protection or something? Or are you his prison bitch?

Anyways give us as much info as you can about the prison politics while you go get dinner. Oh don't try to test any magic we may or may not have until you are somewhere private. No need to have anyone trying to steal us away.

Oh if we did get stolen we will try to mind rape whoever grabs us but not promising anything.

Yeah... I wouldn't listen to all of these chumps. Take the smart suggestions from the ones of in here that are sane and you should pull through. Any plans of escape we could work on? Or should you just finish your sentence? What is your sentence?

If only things where that simple... 'Iron Mines' located not in the limits of a city but under a mountain... pretty deep if I say so myself. It would take weeks, no month of cobined efforts between all inmates to make that happen. We all starve to death by that point.

>Anyways give us as much info as you can about the prison politics while you go get dinner.

>Whats the pecking order down here? That Figarr guy got you panicked for a moment there. Are you paying him with food for protection or something? Or are you his prison bitch?

I'm nobodies bitch! But yeah... I pay this mutt for protection. In terms of power he is pretty much a top of the food chain here. The only one who can compete with Figarr would be a queen bitch herself Zaifa. Right now the reached a sort of standof... None of Zaifa's goons can take on Figarr. And Figarr himself don't dare to openly challenge goblin queen. I prefer to not get involved with prison politics, it a most sure way to retain my limbs intact.

>What is your sentence?

12 years its in case if i would survive that long.

so you simply couldn't just dig from the iron rich tunnels to not only get your daily quota of iron for food while digging out to freedom as well?

anyways how do they get people out if someone sentence is up if there's only the hole in the ground, how can they be sure that you are who you say you are? and what's for diner?

Simple answer... they dont... Smallest sentence around this parts is 10 years... but mostly prisoners die in 1 or 2 years, 5 if he is lucky. Sentence is a simple formality. "Nobody who enters an 'Iron Mountain' will ever see a light of day again." <- it was written on the entrance.

>...and what's for diner?

The basket with a lonely guardsmen lowered through a hole. Food starts raining down on chaotic mob of inmates. The only rule is... first come first served.

...the more I hear about this place the more I really wanting to put a torch to it.

anyways your small so I say we use that to your advantage, SNATCH AND RUN! just run through, grab what you can and don't slow down for anything. Make a few runs if you must but don't get into the melee. If you're paying someone to protect you I'm guessing you're not among the strongest guys here.

Well if everyone is in the same crappy situation getting everyone working together would be one way of escaping.

For now snatch some food. Then later we can test for any magic abilities and see if we have any tricks to help things along.

Good idea... I run to my personal "quarters"

Nothing to spectacular but home none the less... for now.

>...and speaking of that what the hell are you anyways?

What a dumb question... I'm me and nobody else.
The name is Zeeke if you didn't get it by now.
The name of my kind is Rhelum.

Well I would say that you should stash your food somewhere and eat half of the moldy bread, scrape the mold off first, if it isn't entirely mold, this way you can convince dumbo this is all you have (unless he saw you con that fish). Also what crime did you commit to get in here?

Well get your food on and make sure to save enough for the big guy.

If you have some privacy we can try testing to see if we have any useful magic that we can use to help you.

Usually its something to do with mind magic so lets try something along that line to start. Oh we can try to go latch on to the little guy you jumped and see if we can wake him up. A few disembodied voices yelling at him about how he must serve you would be a good test.

Of course there is always the chance we cant do anything other than advise you. But nothing ventured nothing gained right?

Also being in this gem for so long may have made me paranoid, but some mook appears to be outside your door.

The only relatively safe place for it right now is in my inventory. If leave it in the cave somebody might steal it. Eating a moldy bread sounds... appetizing... but I'm not "that" hungry.

>Oh we can try to go latch on to the little guy you jumped and see if we can wake him up. A few disembodied voices yelling at him about how he must serve you would be a good test.

A minion huh... I like the sound of that.

I go back and return carrying an unconscious kobold.

So what should I try now?

Slap us on his forehead and we see what happens. That or try concentrating on the idea of putting us in his head while holding the gem.

If we can still talk to you when you are not touching us that means we can keep a connection to anyone we have touched. Also we see how effective we are at messing with dreams and stuff.

Can think of dozens of tests we can try but for now lets just get in this guys head and convince him to be your minion. I mean everyone here wants to escape so how hard could it be.

>"I am he!"

I properly introduce myself to a little Paz here.

After wich i crawl back in my cave... pondering about my next move.

Assuming I would able somehow get that ham from Zaifa's goon for Figarr, it would save me from him, but I will end up making an enemy with Zaifa... it's a no win situation. Now would be really good time for some brilliant ideas.

Paz patiently waiting next to the cave exit.

Your new minion here is a cook. Possibly a very good cook.

I am thinking that a delicious alternative meal would make up for a nice ham. But you know Figarr better than us. Would have to find something to cook and a place to cook it. Ask the little guy what he thinks.

Ultimately we need a way out from under his foot. You could throw in with the goblin queen. You could try to kill Figarr but could be risky and would upset the power balance down here.

So sneaky ways of dealing with things to compensate for a lack of power. Poison maybe? No idea if any would be available though.

If this supposed ham is good food its probably already in the hands of Zaifa. So going after is a idea but not a good one.

Oh and worst case jam us in his mouth when he goes to eat you. We can usually overload someones senses pretty badly if we want. Would give you time to bash his head in.

>>587779
So ultimately it's all boils down to this...

A) Get the ham for Figarr
B) Try to kill Figarr
C) Look for protection under Zaifa
D) Other...

nghh... I dont like my chances here...

Ok getting the ham is only a option if you think you can be stealthy enough to grab it without anyone noticing. Am guessing whoever had it has already delivered it to Zaifa. So would be extra dangerous.

Just how nasty is Zaifa and do you have any issues or bad blood with her? If not would be just trading one boss for another.

Killing the big guy would be dangerous and would make you a target for anyone who wanted his spot. We want to escape not take over this dump.

As for the other options I honestly do not know enough about the situation down here to have any great ideas. Will keep a eye out though for opportunities as we go though. Maybe one of the other voices will think of something though.

Oh and do Rhelum have any special qualities? Like are you faster or smarter or better than other races? If you have any special skills or abilities let us know.

>>587893
Why not tell Zaifa that Figarr sent you to get her ham for him, but do note that you don't want this to happen. You do hate him, right?
As for our bargaining chip, well we have a cook.
Diplomanticize this, let's see if we can get Zaifa to kill Figarr for us.

Murder is the best solution.

That's easy. one of you distracts the guards, the other steals the ham.

>>587896
Yeah, but she'd have to do that herself, and probably doesn't want to get active on her own. Anybody she sends to protect you on "her behalf" would just get pummeled by Figarr, since he's second only to Zaifa herself. Meaning that, in the end, that's not an option.
You might be able to convince Zaifa to give you some of the low-quality foods so that Paz can cook them into something good. If she (or her minions) ask why you're doing this, just say you're trying to keep out of the rivalry, but Figarr is making it stupidly hard to.

Of course, they might just want Paz's chef talents once you jump into that boat, so there's trouble there, as well.

Figarr doesn't strike me as a forward thinker, if he ever found out we were trying to escape he'd screw it up, the goblins however are forward thinkers and if we help them take out Figarr then we'll have their protection and maybe even help.

>Just how nasty is Zaifa and do you have any issues or bad blood with her? If not would be just trading one boss for another.

I never met Zaifa in person, but i did hear all sorts of scary stories about her.

>Diplomanticize this, let's see if we can get Zaifa to kill Figarr for us.
>Murder is the best solution.

This task would prove to be tricky.

>Figarr doesn't strike me as a forward thinker, if he ever found out we were trying to escape he'd screw it up, the goblins however are forward thinkers and if we help them take out Figarr then we'll have their protection and maybe even help.

Ether way that means we are going to a goblin fort.

In the northen part of a central cave stands a biggest mud-house in colony, Zaifa and her personal band resides in there. A food stash that located next to a main building always under guard. I can see three gobbos guarding the main entrance and one more next to the food stash.

Oh, great, you approached in hiding? Back up a bit and approach personably. Or just loudly say "excuse me!" and ask if you can approach with your hands up. Saves time in backtracking, and they'll probably search your person either way anyways.
If they tell you to stop or something, then, yeah, stop. When they ask you what you want, don't just say to see Zaifa, try saying "I want to speak with Zaifa, or a messenger on her behalf."

So is there faction all or just mostly goblins? And if so are they racist against non goblins? Could make working with them hard if so.

We could try to boldly walk up to the front gate and distract the guards. Would give Paz a chance to sneak in the food house and make off with the ham.

Or you could just have a actual meeting and explain your situation. That you have been a oppressed member of Figarr's faction and even though you did what he asked he is threatening to kill you.

As for which one I guess it depends on how bad her reputation is and why its bad. If she is just cruel and violent that's par for the course. But if she hates non goblins lets go with the ham stealing.

Zaifa's band is big and its not just goblins... I even heard once they had a golem with them.

Gobbo Guard
-Who goes there? What do you want furball?

Zeeke
-Ughh the name is Zeeke and I want to speak with Zaifa, or a messenger on her behalf.

Gobbo Guard
-Nobody speaks with Zaifa without paying tribute first, got anything valuable?

That crossbow goblin looks really happy for some reason. That, or she's wearing a chin/mouth bandana. Hard to tell.
All you really have is a grudge against Figarr, since he took anything of value away from you. Do not mention Paz. He's your buddy, not theirs.

And, one more thing... Do you actually want to work for Zaifa, or would you like to be a neutral party in the matter? Make sure you're certain of your choice, you could get in trouble if you lied. And truthful does include "I would rather be neutral but if it comes down to choosing a side, well, Zaifa hasn't wronged me yet." Possibly worded a little nicer in Zaifa's benefit.

"Couldn't entertainment suffice in some way, guards? We are all just prisoners here with nothing at all, really. I have no idea how anything else here could be valuable. Like, what gifts have people paid in tribute before?"

I have a shirt. Some pants. A magical orb that causes brain tumors and makes you hear voices.

Well, you did come here for an honest reason... No reason to be dishonest when you intended to be honest from the start.
Figarr's been causing you trouble and you've finally decided to do something about it.

I trade food to Figarr for "protection" a hour or so ago I was a bit to slow handing over a meal and now he is threatening to eat me if I do not steal a ham.

So rather than make more enemies following a person I hate who will probably end up trying to eat me anyway I came here to try and throw my lot in with the goblin queen.

"And I will provide what is asked of me in exchange, within my own ability. I understand perfectly protection wouldn't be free. If a new skill is needed of me, I learn well, and I have sources of wisdom and advice. Contacts, I suppose. I have also have some business acumen."
Don't care if that line's bullshit, we'll get you through what she asks of you. What's important is that we turn you from paying your protection with physical items or favors, into mental ones, of which we can provide. That we can handle MUCH more easily than getting you forms of wealth to trade for.

We're a font of knowledge, with unlimited access to many different things. Just don't ask us about local politics, history, law, news, beasts, or magic, that stuff is very confusing and we need to learn that basis by basis. We do have economics, math, science assuming constant physical rules are in effect and magic will not be applied, some different languages that may or may not be useful to you, a decent riddle library, various mechanical skills, survival techniques, and just about... everything. Except, well, any local stuff like I said and magic.

Why not whisper subtle things at her mind? A subconscious susurrus of silent suggestions, delving deep into her psyche and thus ensure all of our survival. Zeeke, Zaifa, and Paz will survive, yes?

>>588345
If we're going to claim to only work interrogation magic for Zeeke, wouldn't it be better to actually tell her that ourselves?

I don't know if we can do subtle. We could just read some surface thoughts and insist we've sworn allegiance to zeeke.

Go ahead and hand us over. Hopefully she does not try to do anything silly with us. Will chat with her and see if we can get her working with you to escape.

She might try to boss us around but don't worry about us abandoning you. There really is no way of forcing us to do anything we don't want to.

Yes.

Should we decide to talk to the queen ourselves, I do have a lot of things to say. But these things will only be said if people agree to say it.

Hello, Goblin Queen. We speak to you through the medium of this gem. We are a bunch of sentients who have access to an infinite library of practical knowledge such as economics, mathematics, science, etc. We lack knowledge of magics and world location, history, and lore.
In truth, it is us that wishes to serve you in exchange for the protection of this creature before you, as we desire him to be the wielder of the gem, which is merely our medium and not our entirety. Much of our own motivations relate to our entertainment, and he entertains us, for now.

We DO have the ability to read the mind of whoever touches us, and you may use yours to speak to us. Perhaps with magical amplification, that range can be increased, but that would require study and use of a lab with a professional.

We are also interested in escape of this place, and would like to perform a mass breakout, to be honest. The idea of being stuck here sounds boring as hell.

-Well i found it in the mines, today.

Ok... I can hear her thoughts (even thou im not touching the gem)... Voices are you still here?

Oh, hey Zeeke.
You might have just opened your minds to each other, which means when you asked that question, she probably just heard it, and found out about us.

Well, if so, congrats Zaifa, you now have some form of means to perform telepathic communication. This technique shall require study. I don't suggest killing Zeeke off, as he will be important to any experiments.
So... I guess I can say this stuff to Zaifa now?
>>588371

>>588493
Yo, magic gobbo leader person, can you hear this? wassup?

(Directed at Zeeke) Yup can hear you fine. Hey lets see if we can drag Paz into this conversation. (Invites Paz). Well now what? We can demonstrate our powers but its up to you if you want us to try and mess with her. Going to try and see if we can talk to you separately or if everyone will hear everything.

(Directed at Zaifa) Hello Zaifa. We are indeed a magical item of great power. The marble is a conduit to countless advisory "spirits" who help the bearer with any quests or goals they might have. He wants to escape this place and we realized that it would be a group effort. So we directed him here to hopefully gather comrades and resources.

Oh and because I know you are thinking it. Stealing us just does not work. We chose who we help and how and if you try to use force against us we have way of protecting ourselves and our bearer. No threats just making sure you do not assume we are just a helpless rock.

Also I would like to say you have very pretty hands.

Well he knows we can talk, for one. There is also the mind reading he mentioned, and the fact that we can still hear him thinking to us which could make for undetectable communication if it has enough range.
So is that the actual Zaifa over there wearing the hood? A very sensible precaution to take, given the whole 'unknown mind reading artifact' thing. Tell her that we said hi.

Did no one notice that the character name changed to Zaazu and not Zafia, or that the thoughts of the person handling the orb just said that Zafia may be interested and likely isn't talking about themselves in the third person?

Mystery cloak guide is likely the real Zafia.

>>588500

Of course its not her. If a stranger wanders in your base with a magic orb you don't just let them hand it off to your boss. Could be a bomb or something horrible. This guy is her shaman or at least expendable.

I wonder if we can reach out a bit to her while she is in the same room. Probably need physical contact though.

Oh well cats out of the bag then. I still think you have awesome monster hands Zaazu.

-What the matter of sorcery is this i can hear mob of voices in my head... its too much. (She drops the gem)

Alright, first, just stare with an "are you serious" sort of stare. The kind where your eyebrows go down and straight, but not angry. After a few seconds, tell Zaazu to stop impersonating Zaifa, that ain't cool. Seriously, she's going to get herself into trouble doing that.

Woops we overloaded her.

Apologize to her and say we got a bit excited talking to someone new.

Then say "So your name is Zaazu correct? Then I am guessing the hooded lady behind me might be Zaifa?"

Try not to make any threatening gestures. They might take what just happened as a attack.

Oh, okay, Zeeke pick up the gem and translate for us to her. Looks like she's found your use, you can actually tolerate this cacophony of voices.
...I hope she still can't hear that.
Yo, Zaifa can you still hear us? Contact isn't required as far as we know as soon as you touch us once. Please don't destroy the gem to escape this nonsense, we don't know if that will work, and it can be very useful.

Besides, if you want us out your head, what if the gem is required in whatever ritual it might need to dispel us? It seems that we can receive any thought directed to us once contact has been made at least once, but if you're holding it, it seems we hear your thoughts regardless if desired or not. Maybe, I don't know, perhaps it unlocks your ability to use your mind as a voice to certain people associated with the gem. Try mind talking to Zeeke now, intentionally, and then try hiding your thoughts from Zeeke. Then you might want to try hiding it from us, but I will assume we will hear any mental communication between you and Zeeke whether its desired or not...

Hey Paz, you okay girl?

Tell her that the voices in the stone know how to make simple flying machines from cloth and rope. And more complex stuff if she has the equipment.

Heck we know how to do all sorts of stuff and probably have more magic then we have found thus far.

Do your best to assure her you mean no harm and that the magic rock did no lasting damage to her friend.

well, main things are we need a lot of cloth, rope, wood or straw to make a basket for people to sit in, and a small metal pot for the fire.

Two weeks fly by as I subject myself to slew of images, plans, schematics and unstoppable chorus of voices in my head. A lot of time was spent gathering all essential parts of contraption and keeping it all underwraps from unsuspecting prison mob. All this time I never once left walls of Zaifa's den. I did heard some talk among Zaifa's goons about rising tension between them and Figarr's now newfounded pack.

Right now the only ones that knows about our escape plan is me, little Paz, Zaifa and her right hand Zaazu (who play Zaifa's role in public).

And if everything play's out smoothly we should escape tonight. Call me a pessimist but nothing ever goes smoothly or according to plan.

Hi there zeeke, I figure figarr will attack Tonight, so maybe you should suggest increased guards or at least stress carefulness tonight. I know you aren't in charge but you should mention it. May I also say you look good with the bandanna (headband?). Very solid snake, *chuckle* not that you would know what that is.

>Hi there zeeke.

-Oh hello there, and here I thought it was getting quiet here, guess I'm never actually alone now.

>I figure figarr will attack Tonight, so maybe you should suggest increased guards or at least stress carefulness tonight. I know you aren't in charge but you should mention it.

-I been thinking about the same thing actually, but the matter with Figarr is Zaifa's problem to deal with. She was very clear on that.

>May I also say you look good with the bandanna (headband?).

-... thanks.

>Very solid snake, *chuckle* not that you would know what that is.

-Is that some kind of a sexual innuendo? If so I don't know if should be flattered or creeped out...

Is the flying machine truly ready? Go over the plans one more time, we'll start thinking of worst case scenarios.

Also, where's Paz?

no no, solid snake is a sneaky dude we know of, the best there is. can sneak into a massive fortress and take out the king using only a box and maybe some sleep darts.

Have you discussed whats going to happen when you get this thing off the ground with Zaifa? The balloon will be very vulnerable and noticeable during launch and hard to defend.

Once you get airborne will be tricky to avoid running into the ceiling and once we get up the shaft a bit we will have to deal with whatever guards they have up there. Honestly they probably do not have much of a standing force here so if you can take out a few guards quickly you should be set. Unless you get unlucky and catch them during a shift change or when they bring in new prisoners.

Are you four the only ones escaping? Or does she plan on lowering a line once you take the guards camp up top? Even if you don't like Figarr and the other prisoners letting them out would cause a huge amount of chaos your group could use to cover your escape.

Oh and have you had any luck improving your relations with Zaifa? Even if you do manage to escape with no big complications staying together afterwards would be a good idea. Will still be in the middle of enemy territory and a group will survive better than someone going solo.

Solid Snake is a human who's ability to sneak around and use any weapon he finds is legendary. He can take out a whole dwarven fortress, including any constructs that are supposed to be invincible. He's got a trademark bandanna, which actually is long and flowing at the ends, after it's tied off, so I don't know why people compare a bandanna that ties off without leaving long, five foot flowing strands to his bandannna.

Good to know they brought Paz in, we didn't get a chance to suggest it before you got thrown into full fledged building mode.

The thing is its not, right now it missing its key component, a fire-source. Zaifa suggested using the Alchemist’s Fire so right now Zaazu and Paz searching for some old junker that rumored to live somewhere deep within old closed mine shafts.

>Go over the plans one more time, we'll start thinking of worst case scenarios.

Well in a nutshell the plan is to launch contraption of the ground right under the food hole by using a big slingshot. After wich once its inside the hole balloons will be realeased propelled by an alchemist's fire. Upon reaching top of the "well" final balloon will be "shot out" dragging us all to the top-side. From there all we can do is improvise.

>Have you discussed whats going to happen when you get this thing off the ground with Zaifa? The balloon will be very vulnerable and noticeable during launch and hard to defend.

It most certainly will, only chance we have that it will take them by surprise.

>Are you four the only ones escaping? Or does she plan on lowering a line once you take the guards camp up top? Even if you don't like Figarr and the other prisoners letting them out would cause a huge amount of chaos your group could use to cover your escape.

It is the plan, once we get up there, we will have a chance to lower ropes for other prisoners.

>Oh and have you had any luck improving your relations with Zaifa?

She still calls me fuzz-ball if you are about that.

Calling you Fuzz ball is fine. As long as she values your skills she will want to keep you around.

The slingshot plan seems a bit complicated. It takes awhile for balloons to fill with hot air even with magical fire. I know you want the element of surprise but that sounds like a recipe for a flaming pile of wreckage to smash into the ceiling. Am guessing you do not want to do it the normal way to avoid getting attacked on the ground while the balloon inflates.

As long as we did the math right it should work fine but anything that makes the plan more complex is dangerous. So be careful.

We could give you the recipe for some various fuels you can make from coal damp and sulfur and such but its probably best to have a expert do it. Do not want you to burn your hands off experimenting.

Anyways anything else we should work on with you or do you want us to help Paz with the alchemist stuff?

Hmm...if it's just you four then something tells me there will be some backstabbing involved. Normally when one outlives their usefulness they are... discarded. I suggest you make a plan to deal with that situation should it arise. Even it doesn't happen, it is always nice to have some form of security.

Speaking of that... After I spend some time experimenting with gem's powers a found out few rules to its use:

1) As default user of gem I can hear thoughts of people as long as they maintain a direct contact with it.
2) Other people cannot hear my thoughts, even when we hold gem simultaneously.
3) I can send voices to observe and advice people who at some point came in contact with gem (thou they can force voices out of their head by using a willpower).
4) To send voices i need to know real name of person to whom i send them.

Right now the only ones who touched the gem are: Me, Paz, Zaazu and small tunnel rat I touched with a gem for experiment.

>I suggest you make a plan to deal with that situation should it arise. Even it doesn't happen, it is always nice to have some form of security.

Noted.

...
Okay Zeeke since you've somehow managed to actually build this thing without our direct help that also means you can actually search our vast "library" for information.
You haven't gone into the adult section have you?
Don't, you can spend hours there without realizing it.
And stay away from the tgchan Quest section, that's OUR house, son. You will also spend hours there like us if you don't know to stay away! And don't take our job and start suggesting for other people in positions like yourself! You got yourself to worry about.

(Guys we totally just gave some medieval quest guy fucking access to the internet in a gem, my god what have we done)

I have no idea what you talking about.

You should get that looked at.
That amount can't actually be normal.
Do you have a thin blood disease or something?
...
Hey, you know Lykke? Don't date Paz. I hesitate to think of what the union might produce.

sounds like a good enough plan to me.

The most likely problem will be any defenses law enforcement has at the top. To counter that, throw down as many ropes as you can once you get to the top. That'll cause enough of a commotion to get out.

Are there any recent developments in Figgar wanting to eat you?

>That amount can't actually be normal.
Blood actually condenses inside the body or something, what looks like enough to fill the whole chest could come from a simple nasty cut to the finger, and not actually have severe ill effects from being bled out. ...That is just a couple of drops leaving behind a trail, right? Not a steady, constant stream?
>Don't date Paz.
...Zeek, you're a male right? And do you know, without asking, what gender Paz is? I, for one, have been operating under the impression that you and he were both males.
...I'm pretty sure Lykke is an Elf-Kobold hybrid, anyways, to be so skinny and tall while also being fuzzy and weak. I mean if you threw a gnoll in there he'd be a bit stronger, don't you think?
Yeah okay that's enough of that train of thought back to matters at hand.

>>588969
That's a typo,
I meant to say Zeeke, not Lykke.
Paz is a feminine name (from Peace Walker! Another Metal Gear reference).
Zeeke, what's your last name? Is it a manly name? It's very important.

>Are there any recent developments in Figgar wanting to eat you?

As I stated earlier, I form the day I struck deal with Zaifa I never once left her mud-house. But from what I heard from other goblins Figarr no longer plays solo and it became a major problem for Zaifa's side. If we don't escape tonight it will soon grow in all out war.

>>589051
And I've come to the uncomfortable realization Figgar is pantless.

Well unless you need something here send us over to Paz and Zaazu so we can give them a hand with retrieving the alchemist fire.

Oh but before that send us to that rat so we can try driving it around. I want to see what sort of suggestions we can give a rat.

Yes let's test our abilities more, seconding going to mess with the rat, then we should help paz. (Also let's see if we can control the rat completely just by speaking to it, maybe we can control weak minded or non sentient life forms with our suggestions)

That trap will go off once the food is removed. The food is good, but the trap is not. See that root? Grab a piece of it and brush off the food. The trap will snap shut on the root, and the food will be safe to grab.

Our goal is to obtain a flask of something known as -alchemist's fire-.

Also watch out for someone called Kat.

Watch out for that line of holes in the ground in the "workshop".

Are those symbols just drawn on the wall or are some buttons? No idea what there reputation is like but maybe just knock? Or yell if you have to.

Hey Zaazu sorry about talking all at once in your head last time. If you want us to tell you any secrets let us know.

hmm... gotta admit it can get really boring out here, Once I was a gatekeeper in an old castle, was guarding the entrance to inner gardens, some times during the night mistress of that castle would slip away from her guarded chamber to go skinny dipping in the garden pond under a full moon. These were the moments when I truly felt alive... Today I stuck as glorified doorknob in the prison mines for fuck sake. So unless you can somehow make me relive those heart-throbing moments we have nothing to talk about...

>>589400
Welp, seems like Zaazu's about the right eye-level for the wall-eye to ogle on. Can you persuade Zaazu to do some flirty stuff with the pervert eye, Paz?
If not, have her hoist YOU up, Paz. Tease to the max, since the eye wants to 'feel alive' right? Doesn't have to show boobs for realsies, right?

>>589400
Clearly there is only one solution here. Paz, activate Felsa-level seduction! The door will either be so satisfied or so revolted that he'll let you in, there's no way to fail..

Ask how he got from a castle to the bottom of a mine in the mountains. Did he do something bad and get thrown in jail to? If so offer to take him along when we escape.

Paz go ahead and flash the doorknob if we can not lure it away with the escape plan. If that does not work shrug and stare at Zaazu until she does something.

So he likes to watch people swim? Paz, tell Zaazu to mimic swimming motions while you make water sounds.

If that doesn't work offer to take him with you out of the mines to somewhere where he can watch lots of people swim.

If zeeke were here he could poke him with us and we could fill his mind with beautiful images and such,whatever makes this guy feel alive. I think this guy just wants to peep on women. Again with zeeke we could perhaps do something if he were linked to us, assuming that's even an option. Otherwise let's place him near swimming hole, at the right time when some of the prettier girls go swimming. (There are girls in this prison right? I can't always tell with non humans)

>If that doesn't work offer to take him with you out of the mines to somewhere where he can watch lots of people swim.

Paz
-Uhm... its not stopping... I hope he is ok.

Zaazu
-I hope he is not...

You know I am thinking that this is stupidly simple. The traps door is a direct entrance to this guys house and the workshop door is just a trap.

Just a guess so do not go wandering in without checking.

That and it looks like the fire trap is full of alchemist's fire. Wonder if we could just siphon off a bit and leave.

He survived a sucker punch that cracked bedrock, I'm sure he'll be fine. I'm guessing the doors were mislabeled to mislead you. Will miss Zaazu even fit in the tunnel?

Paz
-I can do it! :D

Zaazu
-If you see anything valuable inside don't hesitate to bring it back!

After crawling through narrow tunnel Paz succesfully made it inside the junkshop. A single candle lighted the room with a flickering glow. A figure sited in corner of the room. His shoulders were slowly moving in tact with his breathing... he was asleep.

I think not trying to rob the crab dude is the best option. Who knows what sort of crap he keeps in here. And if he has survived this long in a cave full of prisoners he probably is more competent than he looks.

So say hello and see if that wakes him up. If that does not work can try pulling on his sleeve maybe. But try to avoid getting clawed if you surprise him.

Don't wake the old junker up. A thief doesn't ask permission and you are going to escape later tonight anyway.

Steal all the bottles.

If shit hits the fan and we don't end up leaving here, this is one bridge we can't afford to burn. Don't steal from him.

Oh come on, he had to have heard all that racket; he must be faking it. Don't try anything.

move out of arms length from the guy, then try talking to him.

Creep off to a distance then grab the fire. Take nothing else. Then sneak out. If he wakes up say hi. Continue out.

Don't steal from him

Paz crawls out of the tunnel and steps closer to a an old junker... he slightly rise his voice to alert old man of his presence.

Paz
-HELLO!!!

...ok not slightly.

Old Junker
-Wha!!! What?! Who is there... oh, just a little kobold... how did you get here little one and why do you try to scare a living crap out of me?

>>589999
"Your eye is too perverted for its own good. We need alchemist fire."

his magic guard eye was crazy

I crawled in the door. Sorry for yelling I just wanted to wake you up.

I came here to find alchemist fire. My friend is making a balloon and needs some for the fuel source.\

Oh and your door guard is a pervert.

we wish to gain alchemist fire and heard you had some. If so what do you want for it?

Hi. I need some alchemist's fire please. Anyway I could get some?

>Hi. I need some alchemist's fire please. Anyway I could get some?

Old junker
-Indeed I do have some of it left here... Now where do you put it?

Junker starts to scour through his belonging's.

Old junker
-What can you offer in exchange for it? This place is a shop a after all. I would require something of great value from you little one.

All we have with us is knowledge unless Zaazu brought something along to trade.

Tell him you have ancient spirits of the earth following you that can answer many questions. If he likes.

Maybe a nicely cooked meal? Paz is a cook after all.

offer him your body if no other offers stick we can inform him we need it so that everyone can escape.

I like how we are trying to seduce everything now with a androgynous kobold of unknown gender.

I do wonder what sort of horrified expression he would have if Paz started trying to seduce him.

A sad little kobold trying to undress while crying about how this is the only way we can pay for the fire. And to please be gentle with his giant crab hands. Then the second he tells us to stop and gives us the stuff out of pity Paz goes back to normal and scampers off with a smile.

say you can cook him a meal or if that won't work ask what he wants.

If it's a shop, how come it's so hard to ENTER?

Paz drops his rags...

OJ
-"Oh my god!!! Your skin!!! It's too shiny!!! My eyes!!!

Quick! Loot the shop for anything valuable while he's distracted!

>>590619
Holy crap Paz what kind of shampoo do you use?!
Put that shine away and apologize to the man! Nobody should be subjected to such shining without warning!

Well you have a weapon against him if you decide to steal stuff.

So cover up and explain what you need the stuff for.

"does that mean you'll give us the alchemist fire if I put My shirt back on?"

Don't put your shirt on yet. Say, ''can I please has alchemist fire sir? If he litterally dies from it well....we loot his shit. If the guy lives from it or begs us to cloth yourself say. ''Sir can I has some alchemist fire?'' He shall give in to your nudeness one way or the other, only comply until you have the goods. Note never to have paz derobe around zeeke.

>>590619
STEAL STUFF.

Wow Paz we seem to have uncovered a super power you didn't know you had, that'll come in handy as a flashlight later I'm sure.

As for the crab guy, keep your rags off and ask if theirs anything you can do in exchange for the alchemists fire.

>>590660
>a super power you didn't know you had
Paz did say his gender was "Chef"... Now we know why. His nudeness cooks people. Literally, it seems.

Paz successfully acquired bottle of -Alchemist's Fire-

>Holy crap Paz what kind of shampoo do you use?!

Paz
-"What's a shampoo?"

>Wow Paz we seem to have uncovered a super power you didn't know you had.

Paz
-"Cool."

Well either this guy has a entertaining disguise or has been imbibing the mutation potions.

Anyway thank him for the fire and head out unless we want something else here.

I do wonder how and why he set up a magical shop in the tunnels off a prison mine. But a question for another day I guess.

well thank him for his help and let's get out of here, we got what we came for. It is alchemist fire right?

After returning back to Zaazu, they bouth head back to the camp...

Zaazu
-"... I wonder if this much would be enough to lift Zeeke's flying machine of the ground."

Paz
-"It will work! Old man told it would go boom! And we all will fly out of here. Its in the plan, right?"

Zaazu
-"(sigh)... Paz you are still too young even in kobold years... So remember one important thing..."
