You stand before a towering Hiacian gateway, its surface covered in glowing runes and faded text. This stone door is the only thing separating you from whatever treasure lies within, but sadly it seems unlikely that you'll be able to bypass this obstacle. That is, unless you happen to have already or find the key. A task easier said than done, considering it need not even be a physical key. It may be some concept, or descent from someone already long forgotten.

The chamber you stand within is massive, you can't see a ceiling nor any of the walls. It's covered in strange, mutated mushrooms the likes of which one may usually only find in the depths of that accursed realm your people know as the Pa'vala. Spikes longer than you are tall protrude from their surface, and the flesh beneath their caps glows with a soft, blue radiance.

Taking a moment to examine the writing on the surface of the gate, you find that it reads 'Whosoever Wields the Key, Shall Own My Contents'. It's written in Old Hiacian, the paint long since faded. You're familiar with the transcription from old legal documents and various ancient inscriptions upon the surface of chest and other such containers.

Chryssa comes to stand next to you, running her fingers across the rough stone surface of the gate. “As I said, a vault. I am unsure what it might contain. What do you think, Mikhael?”

A deep, rumbling voice reverberates through the chamber, shaking the very ground you stand upon. “Yes, Mikhael. What do you think of my little secret? I see that I should have kept it better hidden.”

You recognize the voice immediately, it belongs to the spirit which dwells within your estate: Mahana Atma'agaprthvi. That fucking cat. You call out in no particular direction, unsure of where the spirit might be hiding. “I wouldn't exactly call a dark corridor in a series of otherwise well lit tunnels 'hidden', Spirit. You may as well have posted a sign at the entrance proclaiming to the world that something interesting lies within this chamber. I believe you neglected to mention that there was a vault on the premises of my estate.”

The spirit's voice once more shakes the chamber. “I was not obligated by the terms of our contract to reveal all of the facilities you had access to, nor is this technically a facility which you have access to. The gates remain locked. My guess was incorrect.”

Making a note to be more pedantic in your future dealings with spirits, you ask the begged question. “What was your guess?”

This time instead of the spirit's response coming in the form of an earth-shaking voice with no obvious source, a fat orange tomcat steps out from behind one of the strange spiked mushrooms which cover the floor of the chamber. It sits down next to its hiding spot, licking its paw and passively cleaning itself. Its voice is a quiet purr, echoing faintly in the vastness of the chamber. “I guessed that unlocking the book would unlock this vault. I was wrong. I hoped to continue my search for the key in secret, but that seems unlikely now that the mutant has revealed its existence. Thus, I propose a partnership.”

You glance up at the sheer stone surface, examining the shifting green glow of the runes which adorn the vault's door. “What are your terms then, Spirit? I will hear you out, at least.”

The cat daintily places its paw down on the stone floor of the chamber, tail swishing impatiently back and forth. “You will allow me to remove one item from within the vault should you ever discover the key. Any item of my choosing. The rest will be yours to do with as you please. In exchange, I will reveal to you what I know of the vault and its contents, and my theories regarding the key.”

Lets trust the cat.

>>38614061
It seems to me that there's one specific thing you want very badly that you suspect is inside. Tell me what it is before we make the deal

>>38614061
So how are you enjoying spring break?
Drunk yet?

>>38614061
>That's agreeable

>>38614215
As if he would tell the (full) truth, the best thing we're getting is some cryptic nonsense that 'technically' isn't wrong.

>>38614061
>>Agree, with the caveat that it has to tell us what the thing it wants is.
Then if it's something we dont want to give it access to, we just dont look for the key.

>>38614061
>That's probably agreeable if you tell me what it is
inb4 there is only a single thing in the vault

>>38614061

Hasn't started yet. I'm doing midterms this week.

>>38614438
we just have to be smarter than soma, you have to remeber the characters are as smart as he is.
So as long as we make a solid statement it can be full proof.
that is assuming soma won't go the easy route of the spirit saying fuck you, or anons being smart enough to pull it off/not tip him off about a loop hole

>>38614061
Haggle this bitch.
we will allow you to take any one item, if you give us knowledge on everything you know about the house.
or more spirit knowledge.

Come on fuckers.
as for a write in for the deal, we know he is trapped here. And the item very well could be the spirits salvation.
and if not he will likely take the most powerfull/convenient item.

Yes, haggle. This item he wants is killer good. We need to know what it is before we make any deal.

Are we ever going to test for our GM robes?
I don't understand why we have not scheduled something so important.

>>38614745
It's not really a good idea until we've been officially unbanished

>>38614745
Mainly because we have not been formally unbanished and to do so would be a big freaking mistake?

Could be the reason but I'm not totally sure.

>>38614745
Well we can't until Karim The fucking sodomite Announces our unbanishment

>>38614817

To add on to further.

>>38614860
Oops.

Let's just not be assholes like last time.

>>38614922
He started it.

Rooooll me 3d10+8 (+6 traits, +2 circumstantial) vs DC 24 (base 20, +4 traits) to weed some information out of the spirit. You'll learn something no matter what you roll, this just determines how much something and how useful that something will be.

>>38614061
"What made you think the book and this vault were somehow connected in the first place?'

Rolled 10, 6, 7 + 8 = 31 (3d10 + 8)

>>38614959

Rolled 9, 4, 1 + 8 = 22 (3d10 + 8)

>>38614922
Being kind of an asshole is pretty IC though.

>>38614959

Rolled 8, 2, 4 + 8 = 22 (3d10 + 8)

>>38614959

Rolled 3, 8, 2 + 8 = 21 (3d10 + 8)

>>38614946
Yes, and while we're "in the right" here, we must still be tactful about it. Not go too far.

>>38614959

Rolled 3, 7, 10 + 8 = 28 (3d10 + 8)

>>38614946
WAA teacher he pushed me first.
>>38614959

>>38614969
That doesn't make us obligated to be an asshole at all times

Rolled 8, 4, 7 + 8 = 27 (3d10 + 8)

>>38614959
What made you think the book and vault were connected in the first place?

>>38615004
>Don't

>>38615045
He probably did.

>>38615056
Being an asshole to the cat didn't work at all in our favor last time we tried it.

Before i forget, fuck the people who keep bitching about choices we make, or not make.
Last two threads descriptions were fucked around with because you guys think you are right about everything.

>>38615102
That was less being asshole and more being a retard.

>>38615004

the more leverage we have the better deal/write in we can make.

>>38615102
Not that was just plain stupid. We're usually a little more clever about being an ass to people than that.

>>38615125
I don't even see how that was a bad decision.

>>38615102
And? The cat is still a cat version of mik, a cat asshole

>Spend
Figured as much.

>>38615159
I would argue that being an asshole to the powerful spirit who is also our permanent roommate and landlord is stupid in itself

>>38615165
No clue, but anon was set on believing it was a bad one, and kept complaining about it through the whole thread and even asked for a revote a few times.

>>38615210
Ok, maybe we can turn it down to just passive aggressiveness then. But I'm sure as hell not going to apologize.

>>38615219
Just wait until we go to Elaudia instead of the desert I bet he'll be furious.

>>38615181
Really glad to see you have recovered from your illness Soma. Let this be a lesson to you. Massive caffeine, alcohol and other depressants/stimulants are BAD. They make you SICK.

>>38615318
you do know the reason he didn't do threads was because he was behind on work, he was only sick for a day or two.

>>38615314
It seems like we keep getting better resistance and treatments for our entity-related insanity so going to the pavala is a lower priority for me now. I want to git really fuckin gud before we go there and a trip to elaudia would be a decent way to do that

>>38615314
As much fun as that would be to watch we've been preparing for and talking about the desert so much now I really can't wait much longer until we actually go there. I hope the upcoming solo interlude we're about to embark on doesn't take too many threads.
Who am I kidding, the fractal sidequest chain is about to start up again in full force as Soma keeps dangling plot hooks in front of our eager mouths.

>>38615365
From what I read he was sick much longer than 2 days.

Just glad he is ok now!

>>38615386
Well he's setting up a plot hook to encourage us to go Elaudia though most anons didn't seem to notice it.

>>38615386
We just recently were, and probably still are, at 7 insanity anon. 10 is batshit crazy where Master kills us with tears in his blind eyes.

>>38615467
I can only hope that is a logarithmic scale because otherwise 7/10 is pretty fucking bad and we're acting pretty sane most of the time.

>>38615436
Maybe. Since the cat thought that opening the book would open the vault I assume that talking to the weird void dude inside the book would be the best way to start our search

>>38615467
>Master kills us
pls, old has-been couldnt even scratch our pet/lover/butler with his strongest hit, mad mad mik and his collection of thralls and soul-devices would wipe the floor with him

>>38615436
what are they?

You eye the cat warily, glancing towards Chryssa to get her input on the situation. She stares at you utterly nonplussed for a moment before shrugging her shoulders, her voice filtering through the connection afforded to you by the brooches. {I am not sure, it seems like a fair deal to me.}

You turn your attention back to the spirit, calling out across the room. “What is this item you so desire, Spirit? I trust there is in fact more than one item in the vault. That is the case, correct?”

The spirit's purring voice once more carries across the chamber. “The item I desire is an artifact most ancient. Said to have been created before the Tribe of Al-Hikar rose to prominence in the fertile valley of the river Hiacia. A small, oblong silver bead. That is all I desire. The vault itself is said to contain the vast wealth of a tribe now forgotten by mortals and kept secret by the Progenitors. I cannot imagine that the item I desire was the whole of their wealth.”

You're still not entirely convinced this is a good idea. “What does the bead do, exactly? I think it would be most unwise to give you some ancient artifact capable of leveling cities or controlling minds or some other such nonsense.”

The cat's tail begins swishing more rapidly. “I am unsure of what the artifact does, precisely.”

You sigh in exasperation, pinching the bridge of your nose and channeling vys. You feel your thoughts accelerate, rapidly collating all that you know of the vault and the Rhynian vault you previously explored, which you would bet is similar in nature to this one.
>Vys Pool: (45/49)

(1/2)

>>38615467
its gonna be brought down to a 6 in a few days.
its all ready been 2-3 days i believe.

Once you've collected your thoughts, you speak. “Look, I am doing my level best to retain some semblance of civility but you are making it very difficult. You wouldn't ask me to let you retrieve this little bead of yours unless you had some inkling of an idea what it did. Share with me those ideas of yours or I'll happily take my leave. It's not like you've produced any compelling reason for me to seek out this key in the first place. So far all you've told me is that finding the key will make you more powerful and probably, but not certainly, make me more wealthy. Another thing, what in Pani's domain made you think that the book was somehow related to the vault?”

The cat's voice shifts, losing the purring softness it had previously carried and once more returning to its full, earth-shaking force. “I believe the bead may contain within it a portion of my divine essence, and I wish to consume the artifact so that I might regain that portion of myself and finally return to my full, resplendent glory. I have been trapped for too long within these tunnels. Had your estate's slave passages not breached the catacombs even its grounds would be lost to me.”

You take all that in, swiftly formulating a response. “You still haven't offered me any compelling reason to seek out this key. You need me, as you yourself have revealed. You're trapped within these catacombs and my estate. So what makes you believe that the bead you seek lies within this vault, and what else does this vault contain?”
(2/3)

The spirits voice calms, returning to a quiet purr. “I cannot shed any light onto the vaults remaining contents but I can feel the portion of myself I surrendered sitting within, just beyond my reach. Should you unlock the vault and find within that the item I seek is the only item it contains, I will reveal to you further knowledge of the Gods' Tongue as just compensation for your service to me. Is this fair?”

You realize with no small amount of annoyance that it promised to reveal what it knew of the vault's contents, when in fact it barely knew anything at all of the vault's contents.

Sure we'll search that key whenever. No one said anything about actually opening the vault until we can negotiate again.

I wonder what would happen if we eat his essence?

>>38615675
>Yes, you'll seek the key when the opportunity presents itself.

Why don't we check if the book key works on the door, whats the worst that can happen.jpg

>>38615675
God's Tongue. Is he talking the language of runes here?

"Surrendered? How is it that you would surrender a part of your essence? What is the story behind this? And how did that part get in here? There is more to this than you are telling me Spirit."

>Tribe of Al-Hikar rose to prominence in the fertile valley of the river Hiacia
Just pointing out two things
1.) The ruling dynasty of the Hiacian Empire were the Al-Hikars.
2.) The cat spirit is older than the Hiacian Empire.

>>38615675
>No, you're not interested.
>Roll haggle

Make him beg us to search for the key for him and throw in a little more teaching of the God's Tongue in order to convince us.

"Listen you furry shitball, I've had enough of your crap, you knew nothing about the vault and from what you've told it might mean if I collapse the slave's passages leading to here you'll be trapped here again! If you had a mother I'd tell you to go fuck her!"

Okay fine >:^(

>>38616065
It goes pretty much completely against what the majority agreed on so no, he won't.

>>38616080
c'mon anon
don't reply to obvious trolls

>>38616034
Fuck no

>>38616057
a mahana

He told us.

Also Power =/= Age

Mahana is an Age,

>>38616169
He's could still be on par with a child. They don't exactly have upper limits on their powers

>>38616218
He's not exactly all that powerful now. What makes you think he'll make a massive leap in power like that?

>>38616169
as >>38616218 said, those are not exact measurements. but this thing managed to destroy the entire pa'vala, which is a pretty damn huge area.
>>38616252
not him, but it was more something killed it and sealed it into that tomb-space we went to with the mask. which begs the question, what killed it?

>>38616034

Did you learn nothing from the last time we threaten him? It earns us nothing but a piss off spirit. We can coerce more information from him by playing nice. He needs us its true but he has also wait centuries.

>>38616218
I remember his reaction to seeing Ricky's tentacles come out of the cloak.

Wouldn't think he would be too scared of Ricky if he was a super powerful being.

>>38616252
He is't but far as we know. and the way he worded it. That artifact could have more than just his essence. And could easily throw him upto the power of an elder or something.
I am a little pissed we didn't negotiate for more than just runes.
This is RESTORING the spirits power to him.
A power he needs.
Part of him.
While I like that we're being civil and we need to be, I would have negotiated for his mark of protection.
But sadly I didn't make it in time. Possibly if we find the key. I don't think we've made a contract yet. So we might be able to.

>>38616282
What the fuck makes you think this guy destroyed the Hicia?

Who's ass are you pulling that from?

And what in the hell does this have to do with the mask?

None of the mask or the entity or any of that shit has shit to do with cat spirit? and no evidence has said anything otherwise.

You know what's really fucking funny having your IP banned 3 times for shit you didn't even post on boards you don't even visit and the 3rd time it was a perma ban that was enacted a year ago yet only just took effect

>>38616368
We JUST made the contract you nitwit.

>>38616368
I don't think anything has been finalized...yet.

>>38616383
blame the euro fags with changing IPS.

>>38616383
yep, the ban system has been going haywired. I have been banned multiple times for posts I never made and boards I never went to for anything from a day to a year.

None of them have lasted for over 12 hours.

The thang is wacked.

>>38616282
How can you be so impossibly stupid in so few words?

>>38616370
dude, im talking about the entity, not the cat, where the hell did you pull that from. see >>38616057 and learn to read

>>38616396
I am not sure we did.
I would hope not at least. cause that would be bullshit. While I can see how this could be a contract, there wasn't much to point that it was a coontract more so than it was just
"sure" i'll look for it on my off time, and if I get lucky we both win. But im not actively searching for it. No promises man.

>>38616463
see >>38616482
read before responding to someone mistaken

>>38616482
It has been confirmed by Soma a dozen time that The Entity is not a spirit and not a being made of divine essence.

so i assumed you were refering the cat spirit

>>38616368
Eh if this was CK2 it'd probably say maybe if we asked him for anything.

If We'd want his mark we should switch to the seduction focus and seduce him as well as sending our diplomat to go improve relations

>>38616534
>If We'd want his mark we should switch to the seduction focus and seduce him as well as sending our diplomat to go improve relations
Don't forget the priest to increase relations.

>>38616533
but its goddamn powerful enough to turn a massive fertile area into a saharan desert and create sandworms

>>38616497
When you see

>Yes, you'll seek the key when the opportunity presents itself.
>No, you're not interested.
You are being offered an agreement, an "arrangement" a Contract

And when you Choose
>Yes
That means you are agreeing the that arrangement, or accepting that Contract.

So we agreed to look for the Key if we get the opportunity.

>>38616613
So? Things besides Spirits can be powerful you know.

>>38616617
"LOOK" is such a vague, ephemeral word.

>>38616654
Yes, we don't exactly have to "LOOK"

But if we do get it we have to give it to him or we'd be breaking the contract. There's no last minute "renegotiating" that's really just extorting someone when you have something precious to them.

>>38616642
and i was questioning just how powerful it was, compared to what we know of spirits, before being sidetracked about the cat from nowhere

But the cat's priest seat is vacant. He'd probably just lock himself in a room and convince himself to love us.

That guy is a Fucking weirdo

>>38616705
Yes thats exactly how a good deal maker works.
>being this stupid
I have what you want/need. I want as much as you're willing to pay for said item.
That sir is how we were raised.
We jew when jewing is possible.
And when it isn't possible to jew.
We jew them anyway.

>>38616777
No, once you agree on something you stick to it.

We already agreed to give it to him.

That's what almost fucked us last time.

And Mik has never gone back on his word when negotiating. He's not someone who just arbitrarily makes deals that mean nothing.

Naw

>>38616705

I don't a reason not to make the effort of actually looking for the key. Even if the silver bead is the only object in the vault we get more runes for our efforts and please consider that this vault is actually spiritproof. Seems like a good thing to have if we want to hide something or keep it safe.

>>38616980
>please consider that this vault is actually spiritproof.
It would make a great place for enchantment research.

>>38617017
>>38616980
Oh of course.

But we have absolutely no clue where it could actually be so we don't have to devote ourself to searching for it. But if we discover something or hear a rumor then sure we'll pursue it.

>>38616881
>>38616944
>>38616871

Exactly, I am not saying we drop everything to look for the key right now. But next time we visit a library, looking for anything related to the Al-Hikar or old Hiacia traditions could be a good idea.

You fold your arms in front of your chest, leaning your weight back on one foot. “Very well, Spirit. I will seek out the key to this vault and allow you to pick one item from inside in exchange either for the rest of the contents or further knowledge of the runic script. Now, what do you know of the vault and what are your theories regarding the key?”

The cat vanishes, and for an instant you think you've been cheated. You're momentarily blinded by a bright flash of white light, your eyes taking several moments to adjust to the sudden illumination. When finally the spots fade from your vision, you find yourself stairing into a massive golden screen, tendrils of black slowly stretching across its surface like so many creeping vines. Gradually the illusion resolves itself into figures, and a scene begins to play out across the golden surface.

“In a time before recorded history, your people rose to prominence as builders of cities, conquerors of land, and shapers of magic. It was a time when gods still dwelled within their palaces and competed for the attentions of mortal worshipers. The Tribe of Al-Sankar were the rulers of all they surveyed, from the vast river Avadya in the distant east, to the sea in the west, and the mountains in the north. Only the peoples of the south resisted their dominion, and it would not be for long.”

Lavish robes of rich blue and deep purple etch themselves across the bodies of the figures, which are depicted as reclined. Slaves attend to them with bowls outlined in black, feeding them some substance you're unfamiliar with. It appears to be some sort of paste which they smear upon their master's lips, allowing it to evaporate.

>in exchange either for the rest of the contents or further knowledge of the runic script.
WTF soma

“The southern peoples were divided among many tribes, constantly warring among themselves. The Al-Sankar allied themselves with certain tribes, incorporating them into their vast empire and using them as their main fighting force as they conquered the southern lands valley by valley, mile by mile. The Al-Hikar were the most powerful of the southern clans, and formed a coalition to combat the Al-Sankar. Though they numbered in the hundreds of thousands, each one of them a talented warrior proven in war, at every meeting of their forces with the forces of the Al-Sankar, they were routed.”

The scene shifts gradually into an image of a single man in black robes, his hand outstretched. Flame leaps from the tips of his fingers, but you find the images of men fleeing before him far more interesting. They're depicted in armor not dissimilar to your own Warlock Armor, though far more simplistic. What's more important, they're riding atop the backs of dragons. Dragons like Zahak, with only a pair of hind legs rather than the usual quadrupedal form.

“The secret of the Al-Sankars' strength lies within their mastery of the divine. They worshiped exclusively a goddess of great power. She granted their enchanters the ability to safely manipulate the divine essence of spirits, rather than merely their own souls. It allowed her followers to enslave even the greatest of spirits to their will, or to destroy spirits and use their essence to create the most powerful artifacts the world had ever seen. For this the other gods resented her, and sought to cast her down. In order to see this brought about, the other greater gods aligned themselves with the tribe of Al-Hikar, and granted them three boons.”

(2/3 or 4)

>>38617279
That was what he said.

>>38617279
That's what we agreed upon you retard

The image on the golden screen is replaced by a depiction of a vast sea of men and women, their faces turned upward in awe to stare at some unseen figure. Dragons, all of them lacking forelimbs, are depicted scattered throughout the crowd. The figure at the front of the crowd, in the center of the image, is depicted in a set of primitive Warlock Armor, lacking greaves, pauldrons, or bracers and with a helmet that lacks a mask, a long braid of hair extending down his back.

“First, they granted the Al-Hikar the boon of lesser immortality. Though still prone to disease and violence, and they still suffered from the ravages of time, they would not die of old age. Second, the gods granted the Al-Hikar the boon of magical affinity. Every one of them would be born with the potential to become a Cetakya; what you would know as a Vatis. Third, they gave to the chieftain of the Al-Hikar a suit of armor which no spirit or god, no matter how great, could damage in any way.”

The screen vanishes, though the cat does not reappear. Its voices continues to echo through the chamber seemingly without any source. “So the Al-Hikar conquered their ancient foes, and the Al-Hikar wiped all traces of their once great civilization from the surface of the Earth. The goddess which had granted the Al-Sankar their abilities was cast out of this reality, forced to wander that which was before for all eternity. The tribes which participated in the battle, the Al-Hikar chief among them, met upon the site of the Al-Sankars' capital city and erected a vault amidst the ruins. Within it they stored the treasures of a people once great, artifacts their gods viewed as anathema. This is that vault, and I want what they took from me. I believe the key to be the armor worn by the chieftain of the Al-Hikar.”
(3/4)

The voice fades. You wait for it to say something more, but after several minutes of silence you decide that is all you're getting from the spirit. You call out into the vastness of the chamber. “What about the book? You never told me why you believe it was connected to this vault!”

Unfortunately you're met with silence.

>>38617635
No, he said that the metal armor they had was gifted to them by their god, singular, we had an argument about this a couple threads ago and settled that it was Dhatu. and probably the Elaudian Armor or something similar.

I think the only mention I've made of any sort of 'armor granted by the gods' was a suit of armor said to be housed within a temple in Elaudia granted to the natives by the Many-Faced Constant, Dhatu. At least, they CLAIM it was armor granted to them by Dhatu. You learned that from Lord Hodei of Anthus, who has been on hunting expeditions in Elaudia and was refused access to the armor by the natives whom he employed as guides.

Anyway, writin' for drop off gold and chill.

Nah he has the same boon our species had, which was lesser.
He had to trade memories/shit to stay sane.

>>38618304
No dragon would have a "boon". A boon is granted by the gods. Dragons are genetically advantaged with their greater immortality, not "booned" with it.

So if we get our hands on whatever arts the banished god taught to the Al-Sankar then as long as we get Mahana's divine anal bead first we could probably have a spirit servant.

>>38618320
We have no final confirmation that Var Var is dead. The viewing picture went blank when he went into the void.

Don't smash my plot dreams.

Immortality is pretty gay tho.

>>38618415
Eh, most of the complications are removed if your entire race is immortal.

>>38618302
It can't be like true immortality since that's reserved for spirit so it's probably still allows mortals to be killed by mortal wounds.
>>38618407
He's dead Jim. They had his spear and shield.

>>38618403
And those guys got their skeletons fucked.

Why would you want to do the same thing that got them fucked like that?

>They had his spear and shield.
What if he just traded them away?

>>38618455
He still has his sword

>>38618472
And his armor.

>>38618415
I don't think the terms "Greater Immortality" and "Lesser Immortality" imply that you never die. Simply that you age at a much slower rate, more or less so depending on which boon you get.

And you can certainly still be killed because you don't have the "God Immortality" which is the type where you just can't die.

Or, so I think. Seems we have a dead god in this story line so maybe thats wrong too.

>>38618444
>Entire race of immortals

Can't recall a single time when that worked out well

Elves in LotR didn't have it too bad.

>>38618495
The dead god was killed by another god.

>>38618439
>>38618455
I say that because he was an anomoly amongst a very long lived people. He lived hundreds of years past their normal lifespan. That must have been because of an artifact or a boon.

Just because they have his stuff, doesn't mean he is dead. He just didn't need them in the void for the plot line I am imagining.

Hope Soma can read my mind.

Fun fact. Most substances hit you ten times as hard when absorbed through the rectum due to not having the liver and digestive system to dilute it.

It'd be like injecting coffee

You turn your attention to Chrys, who seems just a little awestruck. She's staring at you with one eyebrow raised, her posture stiff. You imagine her reaction would be much the same if you grew wings or if your arms fell off. “Well, that was informative. Shall we head back to the estate? I'd like to wait until my traveling clothes are delivered before I head off in search of a captain to take me north.”

Chrys nods her head slowly, stepping forward to walk beside you as you make your way towards the entrance to this vast chamber. You pause before one of the giant poisonous mushrooms, taking a moment to draw a dagger from its sheath on your hip. Chryssa's voice echoes through the silence of the chamber as you start to cut away at the mushroom. “Why do you think the gods stopped interacting with mortals? It is clear that at one point they were very active in this world, but have since lost interest.”

Whilst formulating your response, you carefully slice off the tip of one of the spikes protruding from the mushroom, a black ooze leaking from the wound as you saw away at the flesh of the mushroom cap. Then you cut off a glowing blue spot from the flesh of the mushroom's ribbed stem, the substance which oozes from the wound dark grey instead of black. You're careful to avoid touching either substance, but assumed that Mortia would be interested in samples.

Wiping the blade of your dagger off on the cap of the mushroom and tucking it into your sheathe, you answer Chrys. “I don't know. Perhaps after the disasters that led to the destruction of the Rhynian and Hiacian Empires, they withdrew from the world. Perhaps some sort of treaty was signed between those that remained to stay out of mortal affairs. Maybe they just got bored and decided to create a new reality somewhere else. Maybe they're dead, or sleeping. I doubt we'll ever really know, nor am I certain that I'd wish to know. It seems like whatever the cause we mortals would find it terribly depressing.”
(1/3)

>>38619275
what would happen to anything like food or bugs that go up the other end?

Samples in hand, you pass swiftly through the tunnel you entered the chamber through and once more enter the slave passages of your estate. Chryssa takes the lead, guiding you along the relatively simple path to the secret door you entered the slave passages through. You emerge from the hidden tunnels into the empty library, shutting the sliding door behind you so that it appears as only a smooth portion of wall.

Chryssa stops in the hallway just outside the library, turning towards you. “I believe I will excuse myself to wash. If it is not too much to ask, I would speak with you before you leave.”

You shrug your shoulders. “Sure, that would be fine. I'll contact you via the brooches when I'm about to head out in search of a captain to take me north. Oh, and I'm going to drop off your money as well as the money of our other companions in piles in my bedroom. I'll have your name spelled out in silver so you can tell the piles apart.”

She nods, and the two of you part ways. You make your way towards your bedroom while Chryssa heads for the baths. As you push the door open, you're greeted by Zahak. He pounces off of the bed, wings snapping outward to allow him to glide across the room. Rather than crashing into you he slams into the floor with a heavy thud just in front of you, nudging his head against your abdomen.

His voice pushes excitedly into your thoughts. {I wanna go outside! I wanna go outside! Can I go flying? It's been a really long time since I got to fly! I'm booored!}

(2/3)

You sigh whilst making your way over to your chest of drawers and retrieving your cloak, going through the motions of setting it flat against the ground and whipping it away to reveal stacks upon stacks of gold coins, each one crowned with silver which spells out Chrys, SK, Fulvia, or Prof. Once you deposited the contents of the First National Bank of Void Cloak on the floor of the room, you consider your response to Zahak whilst he's distracted staring hungrily at the piles of cash.

I'm sure they'd be good friends.

>>38619644
Oh yeah we should've asked the cat if she sensed a dragon outside of the estate

>>38619415
I like the idea of Chrys' supervision. And if he senses a dragon he has to return to the estate and hide as quickly as possible, maybe even in the slave tunnels

Looks like y'all are letting Zahak fly at night (with warnings to remain invisible as much as possible when near the city), reading, and breaking the news seems pretty unanimous.

I do believe that Zahak, as children left behind would, will ask to come with us. I motion that it is completely in character for us to be swayed by this attempt that most assuredly will happen.

that's the deeper desert, yeah?
if not, disregard this vote

Are also totally valid choices.

I'm all for the metal idea, would love to get that up for sure. Our sanity around 7 is a bit worrying.

Any of these books related to Metal?

Create is the 3 chapters you've already read.

Our Metal Codex won't teach us anymore until we get gud.

What? Its nothing lewd.

Ever since that history lesson I had the thought oh shit its a chick pop up in my head

>>38619719
>Mark

Let's use it to play hide and seek with Zahak and teach him how to use it

>>38619829
We probably can't even wear that armor yet.

We can't even safely wear the Heavy Warlock Armor.

It's time we finished this, plus we might find out about some new things we can do with fire magic.

Pa'vala is the Deep Desert. Pidjata refers to the region as a whole but excluding the Pa'vala.

>>38619743
I hope so. I'm worried about leaving him when there are dragons flying around and I'm not even sure what reasoning anons used when they voted for going by sea

>>38619961
Can we also tell Zahak about a little bit businesses so he knows why we are going away?

>>38619961
Yo my niggas how about we read about the desert and meditate on metal when we're on the boat?

Also damn let's play with Zahak a lil. How about we play his N seek and if he evades us for half an hour using all Hus magic and any persuasive skills we buy him a cow and teach him some magic?

>One Anon responding to himself in hopes that Soma will host a revote on whether we bring Zahak along on an assassination past the dangerous barbarians and the now awake dragons.

The dragons are to the north.

If we were to bring him we would have to travel RIGHT past them.

Don't bring up opposing points to try to support your argument.

>>38620083

Not him, but given the option I could vote in favor of changing our plans to bring him along.

>>38620042
The choices are go by sea and fight the barbarians or go by land and fight the dragons.

>>38620141
I would vote for a route change and bringing him along in a heartbeat, if only because I missed on the vote that had us going by sea.
