scout the docks. the big ships may have life boats you can use.

Well, you don't need to rebuild a fully-functioning boat yet, just something that represents the concept of a boat and can move large quantities of stuff without disintegrating from the inertia.

Take every boat you can and just... move them, I guess. Don't worry about any damage you inflict.

Grab some fruits, but also try to extract a tree with the roots and dirt attached. If you can grow a fruit farm, you're basically set for the rest of the decade.

Also, consider calling up the florafolk to investigate independently. They might know more about harvesting and replanting stuff from this biome.

Let's try some of the fruit on our way to some kind of town with a dock. Smaller boats would have docked there.

Nice.

Some good boats and structures, but theres a lot of interesting plants too.

Flashing Feathers pulls himself loose, letting the last few droplets of mana form a little glowing constellation on the ground.

Casey laughs and falls forward, letting Kacey collapse on top of her. “Hah! Ah~ good job! You really blessed us good!”

“You are welcome to receive my blessing any time. I take it our task is complete?”

“Mmm-hmm! Nice to meet you ‘Kacey’!” The mouse cranes her neck to look at the glamourless fae on her back.

The odd creature sits up suddenly, realizing she’s been unmasked. She looks around in a panic at the onlookers and pulls herself up into a cat-like pose: ready to flee at any moment.

Stick a rope up her ass and push it until it goes all the way through, then use that and a blow-gag to tie her to something.

Bind her into this cute pose, then invoke the laws of masquerade, explain the prophecy situation, etc. Also is she a changeling queen? Ask her about that whole thing.

You're a binder--bind-her! Also damn, for real, give her those props, she did an amazing job.

Honestly, that WOULD be a cool reveal.

Milk is filtered blood.
Aim for the titties.

Probably for the best Peary left. Angels and Demons could never really get along. And as rulers of a kingdom that has to make difficult decisions like this, it would not really work with her as a long term ally.

Let's close and lock Kenku's body back in the chest and take it with us. We'll have to decide whether to send him to Skeleton Lips so Kenku can be a potential zombie ally through necromancy, Migreveo to use as a scarecrow for the worms to use (the irony is not lost on me), or Cantaloup to give him a proper funeral.

As for how we did, while some things didn't go our way, like forming an alliance with the heroes guild or with Steinhardt, we did gather a bunch of information that can be useful, and items that can potentially be useful like that letter seal dizelu gave us to start talks with bannister, or that coin. and found some opportunities for potential new allies like fear feaster and Crimson Inquisitor. Overall from this meeting, I'm thinking if a lot of people of power don't think much of us, forming alliances with people next in line to rule their kingdoms or just started ruling might be the way to go, heirs like Nasty Shit and Leaf Leader. I know we weren't too thrilled about Leaf Leader, as he's a bit of a pervert, but he proved himself useful. Next opportunity we get to dream, I recommend visiting his dream to strengthen our bond.

There was also the daughter of that mantis lady who ran away. I know she wanted us to find her daughter, but if we find her, perhaps we should help the daughter out with breaking traditions with her mother regarding eating her future husband's head.

Overall, a mixture of all three choices, but mainly A.

I don't know how our performance for the party was but the thing that I do know is that Robert scared me with his assassination performance.

Le shrug. Dunno how we could have improved on this. Definitely could have gone worse. Still looks like our biggest win related to Dredge is the trash panda dude. We replace the artifact with a replica and Dredge loses his big advantage.

>>1131107
Just realized something, on second thought, don’t close the chest when we put Kenku in there, and have someone keep an eye on his body until he is secured in the castle. Knowing Pure Pear and her powers, she could very well take Kenku away if we keep him in a closed chest, just like how she transported spy rat into the lantern earlier.

I also want to pitch an idea: bring Kenku to Skull Lips, and use necromancy to bring his body to life and our side. We can then send him to Iron Dredge’s army to act as a mole for us and feed us information and sabotage them if need be. Everyone here will have to keep Kenku death a secret here for this to work.

A) it's not your fault it was mostly weirdos

something from her past, something that made her happy. Surely she needs something to work towards, and not something as nebulous as "being happy" or "a better life"
something she can be passionate about

2. The classic breakup ultimatium. It's either me or the drugs Maeve!

3. Split timeline action kicks in, but what happens helps start anchoring things nicely. Breakup Jason busts up the local drug dealers to slowly eliminate her access to them while sober couple jason kicks their ass to keep them away from Maeve while she tries to sober up.

4. It gets rough though, she relapses! Jason works to get her into a rehab center.

5. Chapter ending with meeting her coming out of rehab.

Then, perhaps sit and have lunch with Roy or send a flirty text over to Seb and see how his days been going so far.

A classic "they argue, get drunk and high while arguing that they need to stop getting drunk and high, he rants about seeing infinite timelines, she thinks he's finally lost it, but then the little pieces of irrefutable evidence of his crack theory add up over weeks and she loses it thinking that either Jason is completely insane or the world itself is".

It's rude to make assumptions about someone's character just off their appearance. Even if snitties don't occur naturally, she's a priestess. She could just as easily have been blessed by the tiddy goddess.

Why don't you ask her to tell you about her life? I am referring to the previous one, and while we are on that topic, ask about her current state of existence: is she dead, alive, or something in between? We need to know her history, how did she end up here, and what happened to her?

damn... that'll be some news to break to sorrel. ask if there's anyone you should avoid and for what reason.

Bats can hear much better than the rest of the company here. You might be able to whisper her a message without anyone but her hearing, while both being in your 'role' or not causing disruptions (or pain, for her).

But we also need to establish if we can trust her, with that device and the King controlling her. She could be lacking memories of her time before Cadvere, or prefers this... Role over her old life.

>>1131067
Might be a bad idea to do directly. The King / device might be actively forbidding that topic of discussion in favor of a fabricated royal backstory, or she might not know her past at all anymore.

A potential approach could be asking about her 'lineage/family' and then discreetly asking if she has/had any siblings, relatives, heirs - estranged or otherwise.

And maybe spin a tale of becoming the mouse you are today "after watching a bat cloak herself in grief and Sorrel-*cough*, sorrow after a tragedy."

You should also ask about the 'duels' topic. Surely not one to the death? That seems a brash way to settle arguments or end a lineage.

As for the 'health tonic', could ask if it is a bitter medicine as most are, or if it is one that burns the throat like a strong spirit.

Ok.
But on the plus side
You two were frikkin adorable.

Oh yeah, you have to let her know when the bear is out of earshot. tell her to stop/slowdown and let her know now.

A few things stick put about the criminals.
- The weird gargling water noise from the sink coincided with that happening to Lana's sink. In the bar the water was suspicious. In Lana's house, the water bubbled and she passed out - was there gas or poison in it?

- Kaari had her water turned off and it lead to her flea troubles.

Do the criminals have access to the water piping somehow?

- SOMEONE at the bar spiked the champaigne, either the whole bottle or the drinks. Not to mention sabotaged the bar in general, probably to get the band to quit early or something.

While Luanne does know about the fleas issue and her bartending, its not a stretch that Kaari was watched by the criminals at some point.

Dente wouldn't know about the fleas unless he heard it from the talk with Judith. And Judith seems too legit in general. Luanne seems to know both but why would she help Lana then?

I think the bear bugged Judiths office. That would let her keep tabs on the rangers to evade them. And would explain how she knows about bartending/fleas as it was talked about with Judith.

Another note with the criminals, they were entirely too willing to get civvies to kill them or finish them. Either they're spiteful enough to get civvies in trouble for murder in non-self defense (implying a cop is in on this) or they fear getting caught and 'bailed out'.

When you get back home, probably best to double check your sink and check if there's any sign of intrusion or theft (or surveilance bugs).

First priority, tell Judith poachers are pretending to be Rangers, have badges, and were listening in on the frequency you were using.

The wolverine you chased away earlier also had a radio, so its clear the poachers were spying on the rangers or have someone on the inside who knows how things work. Make sure anyone using the radio can properly ID themselves as an actual ranger (ID number, full name, etc) or switches to another frequency.

And if you catch the Wolverine or other poachers, check their frequency, it might be the one used by their criminal group to spy on THEM.

First off, tell her that these aren't just random poachers that she's dealing with. This is an organized crime syndicate with ties to a drug cartel. They also know way too much about how the rangers operate; enough to impersonate them and spy on them at least, and possibly to infiltrate them at worst. Some of her coworkers might be compromised; they're clearly not above blackmail after all. This is probably something that is going to require a coordinated law enforcement response.

Before you say anything about Dente, pause for a moment. Mention that Rosary knew that you had fleas for seemingly no reason. Then bring up the fact that Judith also knew you had fleas without you having said anything to her about them, all the way back at the ranger station. Play it off as a fit of paranoia — "first the water pipes, now this" — but ask her how she knew.

>>1130907
Yeah. This.

2. And let’s push our luck a little to get a discount since we had a good roll on our dice.

Give her this idea for a business venture: ask if there can be a discount for quest givers. that way, you can buy a little more to give to heroes, but as advertising, you will tell them about her shop so that they are encouraged to go to her shop. They get a small free sample from us, like a single piece of armor or potion, and we direct them to her if they want to complete a set of armor, get a stronger weapon, or buy more potions for the adventure!

Clearly, the memory wiping was intentional on the part of the other slime (evil slime) so it could do something the animals wouldn't agree with while we (good slime) have the alibi of first-contacting with the humans. Thus, to figure out what the evil slime is trying to do, we must think of something that would be repugnant to the animals, such as... blowing up the research base! Yes, that's what evil slime is trying to do! C: Ask Guy what the most explosive area on the base is, and set up a trap there!

>>1130938
This is a stationary artic base. Why would it have engines? Plus, a bright and cold passage way up is probably outside.

>>1130936
Let's try to think why we would split up. The only reasonable explanation would be that we needed one half to distract everybody, (comms slime) while the other half (vent slime) does some sort of subterfuge. Thus, vent slime should go deeper into the base by choosing option F.

A) As a viscous, fluid-like slime, you are likely affected by the basic laws of physics and thermodynamics. High temperature will likely make you more like a liquid (flowing uncontrollably, but also much faster), but could also kill your offshoot if it pasteurizes or sterilizes you. Low temperature will likely make yoy more like a solid (sluggish, or possibly freeze). Humans can wear full hazmat suits since you prpbably can't cut or stab things.

B) Could be achieved if you get heated up and effectively forced into a puddle-like form, or tricked to pass through a sieve or mesh-like opening to split into a ton of small fragments. Could also have it enter a pipework that loops a lot.

C) Keep broadcasting so the offshoot hears the message from you and is given proper directions, or tell the humans to try diplomacy with it / that 'slime prime' asked to wait.

E) Seems like it could be a refridgerated. sciency area. Probably more people there too.

F) Could be some empty engimeerimg area, boiler room or such.

As such my votes are A) Fire extinguishers, liquid nitrogen and hazmat suits, C) Keep the message on repeat but make it clear its from slime prime, or to backtrack to comms.

For offshoot, go to E). Probably more interestimg stuff there.

>>1130939
An artic base needs heating - lots of it. It's probably a boiler room, power generator or some other kind of basement machine that produces heat. And possibly has drones working there.

Cool and bright is either outside, or a well-lit area that needs cooling (freezer closet, science lab).

>>1130938
Ideally the container is big enough, can't be opened from inside with force (i.e. no corks, bottlecaps or screw-lids) and is airtight. A gas tank or mason jar, for example.

As for getting the slime into such a container, maybe a water-washing vacuum cleaner? It should suck up the slime and safely deposit it into a liquid container (and the centrifuge effect inside will confuse it).

A) Janitor with a hazmat suit and a wet (uses a water container instead of a paper bag) vacuumm cleaner.

C) A wizard did it.

>So one tube is marked with will and the other with will of the crown. Is that not trouble, them being so close together?

SAM: “Anyway, so, Leslie-”

McGREGOR J: "The daughter shall address this one as Justice McGregor or Your Honour. Or Les, if she must.”

Sam is unused to this kind of formal address, but is eager to remain in the Jurist’s good books after that incident.

SAM: “Right. Your Honour. Those tubes, one marked with the Chaos Star, meaning Will, and another with the Broad Arrow, symbolising the Will of the Crown, is it a problem that they’re being kept so close together?”

McGREGOR J: "Lay Will and Executive Will may often partially or fully coincide. Unless at least one of the two are immensely powerful, and unless they are diametrically opposed in purpose, there shall be no issues. Although, in the case of a malformed Executive power, some fragmentation of Will, or some distortion of the barriers between the two Wills might occur… That is not the case here.”

>the thing in the blue tube matches the diagram found next to Hella's letter

Sam peers extra closely at the thing in the blue tube.

UBERTO: ”Ah, welcome back.”


>Ask what alternative plans they can think of for uncursing Mary.

SAM: “You seemed unsatisfied with my plan. Did you have another idea for how we could free Mary?”

SIMONE: “...no. It just seems pretty sudden, you know? We don’t even know what Hella’s capable of.”

UBERTO: ”Right to business, then. Hmm. Well, it’s risky, but I don’t really see any other way around this. Surely with the lot of us, and expecting her, we can win.”

He’s being intentionally optimistic.

>Scry a bit, see if you can find any readings similar to the Feather.

An inscrutable sound bursts into Sam’s skull and there is suddenly a new map behind her eyes.

No readings come from the left clearing. Two from the right clearing, both dark aligned.

The blue and red arrows from earlier point in the direction the group came from.

>>1130892
The blue and red readings are probably Miller and Mary.
>contained figures both dark aligned
Huh, I think you can spot doppelgangers this way. That is incredibly useful. Well, unless the dark alignment is due to the containment devices. Speaking of those... I wonder what the attached tanks are doing. Are they draining Will? Or are they fueling the containment?
Hmm. Freeing the robotic doppelganger is slightly tempting. She can't possibly pretend to be anyone else, so if she helps us with the fight against Hella, we could agree to shelter her somewhere without worry of her managing an impersonation. On the other hand, we do not know where her allegiances lie, not without a deep understanding of how the minds of doppelgangers work.

Looks like the reading to the "north" is related to the Feather, so we could go that way later.

>Hella's letter, pictured figure in containment, pore?
Ok, I think I know what the problem is. The letter that was in the envelope, regarding the pore, was not present. It's probably in Hella's desk, which obviously we weren't able to search.
The other scraps of paper were nearby by coincidence and are not necessarily related to the pore or letter. At least we now know that Miller's photo was taken of him wearing the mask and coat... and holding a staff or spear? Or maybe that's someone else in the same getup.

>seems sudden, we don't know what Hella is capable of
True. How would we investigate our opponent though? Maybe we can ask the captive doppelgangers? Or do Miller and Mary know anything about Hella?

That symbol to the north, is it related to the feather? it looks similar to the large symbol we interacted with, but that was seven pointed while this one is five. but we have seen this exact one before, on one of the wall carvings in that same room. I don't think we determined what it meant.
and are we sensing, a house?

>>1130745
I think we should watch that last recording. At the very least, it would be information we have that they do not.

if the last recording is another bombshell it would be best to watch it alone now

>>1130745
Some thoughts: The polities on earth a surely at a technological level to be broadcasting TV/Radio (do they have an internet equivalent?) getting access to media from multiple sources could give us some insights into what the world is really like.

Also on a darker note if we do want to influence the world through military tech, simply providing enhanced space tech (especially since this base presumably has some engineering/manufacturing capabilities) could allow for the deployment of orbital mass drivers - fast high density objects from space can reach nuclear levels of destructive power without the same fallout issues.

Okay, the Coalition of Kushana in the 20th century is more advanced technologically, civically and ethically than most everyone in our original timeline at the time.

This leads me to believe something: some of the other crew of the History Unmade survived, landed on the Earth, and fast-fowarded progress where they landed. Who knows, maybe they are still alive right now!

At any rate, I think tge tour might be a good idea. Getting chummy with our new friends and all. We can check the last recording privately afterwards.

It's funny, in wars of ideology there is no geography. There are going to be Hivists fighting within Dacia, and Accumulationists fighting in Kushanasthana, to make theirs the mandatory ideology. The only thing that makes a nation Accumulationist is they had some people go up and say "We are the rulers of Dacia, because we said so, and we order you to eliminate anyone threatening Accumulationism." and nobody shot them in the head during that speech.

Nobody stealing an election in Kushanasthana would ever be anything other than Accumulationist, so it only works one way, interestingly enough. There will still be forces within your border attempting to destabilize any democracy.

all of you need to, like, chill. you'll make maya paranoid. have some sense? he's clearly just insecure about something. he was proud as peaches about every other part of being a Cliffside Pathfinder!
He might be really struggling to get better at medicine. Or maybe he messed up on someone and it still eats at him.

We don't know *what* made him feel this way, but he clearly needs some encouragement.

Tell him you're feeling a lot better with his help, actually. That you actually feel much safer with him than strangers at the hospital. You'd rather him stay, and help more, too. Use puppy-kitty-eyes if you have to. He's gotta have some faith in himself.

plus, remember the quest. "find a friend your age"!

Yeah lets not jump to assumptions, nevermind i did just that last time...
I think feeling safe around someone is something really special. Especially for some one like you. Be graveful and thank him as sincerely as you can

>>1130828
Tell him you think he did a great job.
Thank him.

Ask him if you said anything to upset him and that youre sorry if you did.

Hes a sweet, cinnamon bun.
And you do feel safe, because he bandaged the leg and youndidnt freak out.
Well done maya.

ask him to show you the cool knots he knows

Ask him if he can escort you to the hospital. Both to be a safe presence/person and so he can explain to docs what first aid he already did / your injuries.

tell her the tour sounds lovely and ask her to lead the way.

Just remember to ask a lot of questions so she has to focus on you just as much as the tour and to keep your subtle manipulations going on her whenever she looks your way or talks to you. Once the manipulations start getting her noticeably aroused start acting like you're getting more comfortable around her and become a little more clingy. As in moments when you can't think what to talk about walk close enough for your shoulders to touch or even try and hold her hand if you think she wouldn't mind. If she tells a joke or a happy story give her a quick hug when expressing your own joy. And every time the two of you touch make the subtle pleasure rise slightly for when your touch last longer then a moment or in instances where the contact is brief give her a sharp and large amount of pleasure but make it so quick it could easily be dismissed as a trick of her mind.

Other than that go through the tour and show genuine interest in both what she's talking about and in her, be friendly and kind and show you're starting to open up to her yourself and trust her more, and never leave her side to keep the manipulations up even if she tries to distance herself from you to make it seem like she is getting hella worked up around you.

Oh and on a side note, if she ever makes any remarks or jokes about dating, hanging out, or just being around you give a small jolt of pleasure to her only slightly more noticeable then what you're doing to her normally to "encourage" these thoughts and a much sharper and stronger jolt if she ever mentions anything about sex or making out to you, while you yourself will always take such questions or remarks as her just being friendly and opening up to you to keep up the air of innocents you're trying to build up.

I’m liking what I’m hearing! Let’s also use our subtle rewards system for any time she interacts with her new flower. We’ve given her an object that she associates with us~ That object should quickly become her favorite thing, and if she gets pleasant tingles from looking at and/or touching it, that’ll certainly speed the progress along~ Gives us an extra hook to wiggle into her heart. “Ohhhh~ Why do I feel like this when I pay attention to the flower?? Do I feel the same way about… him??? *looks at us and the feeling intensifies* M-Maybe…” Every little detail counts~

I still say that, A SHRUBBERY [dramatic music] would be an excellent gift. It could have more of the same type of flower, and/or if you really wanna demonstrate your demiurge-like powers, make it somehow grow to chop down the mightiest tree in a forest, A HERRING [dramatic music]

I’ve just realized, if we have power over space, if we bend it properly, could we do time dilation? Something to think about~

>>1130866
As much fun as that would be, I don't think it's that easy. Nehm said that time magic was green and that no Timeline gem is known to have that power.
