I turn around.

well with the walls at it's side you could probably be able to shoot it with Decimation Spark but I don't know how quick it is. I mean if it's slow then yeah shoot the hell out of it but if you think it will reach you before you could get the shot off we're going to need more options. This thing can't hurt you with warding light on right?

It's the fucking thing from the tower. Throw rocks at it.

...When all you have is a latern...
If you set fire to the book, could you do something with it and maintain the Warding Light?
Would lighting the books in here, decomposed as they might be, be sufficent to rekindle the Void being?
And lastly...If that Void-being sees you, can other void creatures know where you are from it?

fire it up. cover everything in holy fire should help a lot.

Setting the book alight, I throw it as hard as I am able into the hastily-encroaching mass of pitch.

It is consumed.

Uh okay I'm gonna hazard a guess and say that your spark won't be ready by the time it reaches you. Therefore, you're gonna have to try your luck with the solid? darkness.

Asoth please, guide me! Let your beacon shine bright through the darkness
Please. There's no need for such uncouth tongue.
FUCK THAT, FUCK YOU.
Rude.

>You know it really doesn't have to be this hard.
FUCK THAT
Decimation Spark is worthless at this range so I say make sure your warding light is up and just swing the lantern right into his fucking dick. That or the eye, whatever one you think you're more likely to hit. I mean unless you have some weapon on you that you haven't told us about yet or think you could hit harder with your tail or something I think that's your best bet as I'm not to sure we can run from this dick bag.

>>626352
Well you're not dead yet.

How is this thing TALKING to you? I thought all the darkness-things were mindless. Maybe you can find out what it wants, considering you're not dead?

Swing that shit at it while backing up. If you miss, that's fine, because while swinging at it ask it what it wants. The spirits bound to the Alters hate them just as much as you do, right? Maybe this is the guy, and it can show is where the alter is so we can smash it.

>>627355
You're still not dead. Ask what it wants. Also, what/who it is.

>>627355
the only thing I know of that removes darkness is light. No idea how to make more light though unless you can crank you lantern up even brighter. Other then that... run? I mean we're raptly running out of things to actually try so if you do run... see if you can't make it back to the tavern where that one guy burned himself to death. it still had the lights on.

I flail wildly at the only place I can see, to little avail.
My, you're quite violent, aren't you?
It's voice is choppy and unnatural, loud and silent at once, like a swarm of angry moths fluttering and bashing themselves about inside my skull. It's like my head's falling asleep, and it is VERY UNPLEASANT.
And dramatic, too, I see.
Oh dear asoth help me it reads minds.

wait... calm down, it surrounds you but you are not hurt. get up, keep moving.

You're surrounded by shadow, but he's made no moves to hurt you. Get up, dust yourself off, and keep moving toward the shrine.

... And for plot sake, continue keeping conversation up with him. He's right, you're being very rude, and that's not helping you when he's not harming you. So lighten up, buttercup.

Of course, that would be far too swift for YOUR jaded imaginations, now, wouldn't it? Perhaps I'm something a bit more subtle. A darkness, creeping in at the edges, slowly consuming those who wander too deep.

But where would the fun be in that?

>>634357
Why not come along for the ride as she fumbles around in the dark, nearly defenseless against the things that lie in wait? We can entertain you, so cease your aggression.

get your lamp, it's still there. light the whole building on fire.

have to say, when this is all over, I'd suggest finding a new profession, because something that sends priest in training into something like this without backup, without information, and without teaching them how to even properly defend themselves honestly sounds like a crap venture to tag alone with.

For now though... You're still you, you're still alive, and you still need to light the shrine. If this was the same thing blocking your path earlier you're now free to travel up one of the towers to reach the shrine. As for a last resort... use fire? On everything around you, on yourself? Not recommending it but hey, the option is there.

Okay, if one void knows where you are they all do right?
So that means Decimating Spark-you're given away, so at least be ready to fight, as much as one can fight, with that thing...
You wouldn't be able to use it on that thing on your head without roasting yourself right?

>>634368
I have to second the sentiment, there. Someone did you a disservice sending you into this not forewarned and prepared.

...ask the thing to cease with the hypotheticals. Nevermind what it could be, or what we imagine. What does it want?

help
where am I being taken
what is ha-

You can't. I will destroy her mind, then the Corrupted will eat her body.

And then, with time, I will destroy you.
You, whose unnatural existence spits against the unstoppable fate of all things.

I despise you.

if there is nothing you want other then destruction, then we must kill you first.
come at me bro.

[psi explosion]

I don't think you can.
You may have killed our charge. Which sucks. But I really, really doubt you can kill us. I'm not even sure you can kill her.
You're a lot of big talk and spooky eyeballs and dream pilars, but if you could actually do anything with any meaning, you wouldn't need that. You're overcompensating.
Now, if you'll excuse us,
>Misotus, WAKE UP
>RESIST

>I despise you.
why? what are we to you? hell just what are, who are you? You seem to harbor so much hate for us but we know next to nothing about you.

Do you have a name?

>I will destroy her mind
That's not very nice! And you wondered why she reacted badly to your presence.

>I despise you
But we're so personable!

...but sorry, you can't actually kill us. Worst you could do is block or interrupt our communication. Which is rude, and a little annoying, but non-fatal.

Okay so our charge is helpless and you're not listening to reason, which means... there must be something WE can do.

[invoke fire]

Resist! You must fight it! Don't let this thing win!

My my MY, so hostile! I hope you don' mind my Rebuttal.

Would that I could, I'd kill all of you, if it wouldn't draw the wretched bird's attentions to me.

>>641449
You want to know my purpose, voice? My drive? I desire silence, an end to the ceaseless thrumming cacaphony of existence itself, and you stand in the way of that.
The vibrating fibres of the universe upset me. Keep me awake. Consciousness is an unending agony unto itself even without all this NOISE.
So, to put it succintly:
I am a facet and arbiter of the end.
I wish you to die so that I myself may also die.
So please, kindly do.

So you wish to die then? Then why not walk into the flames, a short moment of pain and then the silence you so crave. Much quicker then waiting for the end as well.

>>647547
You didn't kill me.

ASOTH! WE REQUIRE YOUR RAGE! I FUCKING HATE THIS GUY!

so why do you resist the silent embrace of death?

I find it funny how rage seems to be in common with both sides.
Rage, at the void and it's constant attacks, at the victims it's taken, and at the inability to find peace in a world where the darkness can reach out and take you at any time...
Rage, at existance, at having to endure suffering constantly, at that blasted light that if only you could merely snuff it out-but you can't?
I think, both of you have quite a bit to be angry at, don't you agree?

If being awake gives you pain, and we're keeping you up, why not just... go away? Deep, deep underground, or simply far away, where life can't bother you. Why struggle against something infinitely vast which expands exponentially? You can't destroy life. Not all of it. It would be wiser and more energy efficient to just flee from its oncoming advance.
Or, of you're really so desperate for death, we would gladly kill you. We both get to walk away happy.

>there is a ripple, and one of the voices falls silent.
Because that's observeably one of us dying and discinct from communication being cut off. Or perception / UI hacking bluster.

Oh wait. No, all you've managed to be is annoying. And heck, even if you could prove you'd killed one of us, well, that's the advantage of being legion. It doesn't matter.

>I wish you to die so that I myself may also die.
>So please, kindly do.
I'm sorry, but our differences are irreconcilable. We won't be doing that.

The problem for you is that for any who fall many more shall rise up.

You face many, and you are nothing.
