sorry, thought she was still... normal enough that I thought that a quick jab into something important would have put her out of her misery quickly and hopefully painlessly. Didn't think the mutation would change her biological so much that her internal organs would change.

How are you holding up... do you... do you need to go back to 8 eyes (we really need to get her name) and hug them until you feel better? They're your boss (I think) they're suppose to care about your mental health or something. What I'm saying is you look like you could use a hug.

The elevator has a panel showing 8 floors, but no buttons to select them and no lights to indicate them. Who designs an elevator like this? There must be someone controlling it from the outside, someone who is expecting you.

How long has it been since you woke up here? Can you guess how many floors you've passed already?

There are too many unknowns in this situation. You might need to use the ceiling hatch soon, but for now, hide in the corner by the door and prepare your mirror to look outside.

are you going up or down? Because at this point I feel you might as well wait until you reach your floor and see what's on the other side.

The elevator comes to a halt, the motors whining as they slowed movement. With a creak, the doors open, and Grace glances to the side.

A cold wind blows through into the cramped space, absolving it of its current smell and replacing it with a bitter scent. It's dark, but they can make out the details of some kind of interior from their quick look.

I also realize this machine might also detect any kind of curse the worms may have put on Bobbie, based off of her conversation with Prince Hollow Heart when we were deciding what to do with Shadow Taker’s (the cat’s) body. Something about Bobbie having an unfortunate birth, and worms or something?

A) Tell DeRvan what happened.

B) Think of a lie to tell DeRvan.

C) As DeRvan, if these things tend to break on use.

D) Other suggestions.

C. If he doesn't believe you, ask to use the other one, this time in front of him.

Though he should believe you, considering from what I remember, he can spy on others with his business card.

I guess this is what we get for having Fey oversee a home renovation, lol. Can't really complain though, this is probably the fanciest bathroom in Moot Point.

Smooch your fiance and show him your trophy.

An impressive renovation! Ask them how they pulled it off (glamour, teleportation, heart-space...). Hopefully there is still a regular toilet/plumbing area, otherwise they gotta pee/poop in the sea now. :d

It could also be intruder Fey trickery, as mentioned above, so be on the guard. Confirm identity. Locate Fennel as well. Show off your training montage to sailor husbando. Talk about the channel digging expansion plan to both.

Kol runs into the water and pulls his fiancé into a hug and kisses him. “Caleb! Holy shit, what is all this?”

“It’s yer new bathroom! You like it?”

“I-uh- it’s amazing! Wait, how are you swimming? I thought selkies can’t swim without their skin?” Kol asks, looking at his broad, scarred back.

“What’re are you talking about? This is a bathtub.” Caleb says, his voice oddly precise: as though he were making a legal argument. “I’m just taking a bath.”

“Ah, sure. Um… where- uh- where’s the toilet?”

“What do you mean toilet?” The selkie waves an arm as if to imply that the “bathtub” is more than enough.

“A-ah-“ Kol opens his mouth and hesitates, feeling his mental gearbox crunching as tries to formulate a reply.

A big paw hits him gently in the back as Caleb chuckles. “I’m just messing with ya. It’s behind the rocks over there. Yer face does this cute faraway look whenever you’re out of your depth.”

“It never gets old, does it?”

“Not till my dying day. Salt and Spray I missed you, Kol.” The sailor shimmies closer, taking his fiancé’s hand in his.

>>1125121
To be fair, swimming is a very specific action, any merely water related action does not count, such as standing in or walking through water.

Makes you wonder if the reason why Fey use Legalese is because Mana's rules are... I will go with "loose but punishing"

>Boxes! They might have treasure for you and Fishman!
Grem head towards lake, and as Grem suspected there aren’t many humans here to catch Grem and whack Grem over head. In fact, Grem only see one human sleeping over there. Looking around, Grem can spot three spots where treasure might be hidden! Now Grem just need to decide which treasure Grem will go for first!

There is big building with big door filled with boxes! Many boxes! Door even open! But maybe there are too many boxes? How Grem find right box among boxes? Grem need orb to ponder…

Then there is nice, white building with tasty looking sign on it. This place smells like food and drink and smoke and food and fruit. Very tasty place. But tasty usually means humans, though. Grem not hear anyone inside but Grem can never be too careful!

Finally there is the sleeping human. They are sitting next to a tree snoring, smelling of fishes and Gnoll drink, with a fishy pole lazily hanging into the water. If Grem careful Grem might steal some shinies from human… but if human wake up Grem in trouble!

Other houses have doors closed… and Grem not see anything else interesting lying in the open. Remember, Grem need something for Merman to impress big fish lady as well as used axe for tree man.

There's a magic trick for finding the right box. Just get a stick shaped like Y and hold the short ends. When you get near the right one the long end will wiggle around. If you don't have a stick then a thing on a string will work too. When you get near the thing will wiggle around.

Therefore, being near good treasure makes magic things wiggle. So if you just wander around with your eyes closed until you feel wiggly, you should find the right box.

People usually put jewels and valuables in very small boxes instead of very large ones. Try and open the smallest box you can find.

Boxes seem like a good idea, but also, be wary of the eyes in the dark. Perhaps they are hungry. Or angry.

There's always some emergency, air or food or water. I don't follow current events a whole lot, but dad says there was some rivalries between Marnari factions even before they settled on Mars, and some of them just got more aggressive when they weren't on a ship. But like, he told me not to worry about it, he called them minor disputes over water or air or whatever; but when do you have to have these week long emergency sessions over that?
Like this isn't the first time. They just force everyone to stay, they rent out some motel near where he works and they all have to work day and night to settle whatever.

Pick the next heroes and quest to assign. Here are the votes from the previous suggestions, all of them have one vote each.

-Corpse Lover -> Necromancer Apprentice

- Gambling Knight -> The Screaming Phantom

- The Surface Crawler -> Bomb Frogs

- Alchemy Knight -> Furrius Fungus

- Corpse Lover -> Strange Anomaly

- Shadow Taker -> The Drowned Spirit

- Naughty Sheep -> Stone Hydras

You are free to give other suggestions or change your previous suggestions.

Now that I think about it Alchemy Knight might be the only one who can take out the hydra. I mean its made of stone right? would any of the others be able to blast stone?

Send the Naughty sheep to go after the bomb frogs

>>1125073
I think the main thing that worries me about that is that this is labeled as a high danger quest, and the Alchemy Knight is listed as a beginner

Anyway, my vote is naughty sheep go after the stone hydra as his skill level can match the danger of the stone hydra. It seems like they are being built from nothing, and even if he destroys them, I'm sure they can rebuild themselves back, so technically, we wouldn't be killing them. Plus, if they are growing out of the mountain, they would probably just be stationary in one place, which could work with his nerf of not being able to see his enemy properly. If he's still not okay with killing it, think what we will want to ask him to do is to find out what exactly is causing the hydra to be emerging out of the mountain, or convince him that leaving the hydra alive could cause multiple people to die to weigh the options. Like, would he prefer one giant hydra to perish (or is it three?) or an entire village to perish?

How's the arm? looks like you got something in it

Probably want to clear whatever that is out of the smoke stack before smoke gets everywhere. That would draw attention for sure

Honestly it just looks like Kaol starting thrashing around randomly and Priscilla panicked and grabbed the knife then hit them with it and ran. The only way for Kaol to have killed Priscilla and disposed of her body would involve them also using the knife on themselves and I feel like that's not something they'd do even in a fugue state.

Sverrir: "As for Captain Stand, I do not think I need to convince you. You have spent much of your time since arriving here looking for an opportunity to lend aid to people who need it. Here is your chance."
Captain Stand: "You know you didn't need to convince me!"
Sverrir: "Finally, Palla suggested it would be best if Iantha was present for this."
Iantha: "… I see. I understand. I will accept."

So, is there some secret tunnel or something? How is this small group going to get past an army with a supply of aid large enough to be significant to an entire city?

He know you by name, and he's not trying to shoot you, but this could be a trap. But then why isn't he attacking?

He might be trying to distract us. Someone could be sneaking up on you right now. Look around for anyone else nearby. And keep an eye on him in case he reaches for his gun.

If he wants to talk, tell him to talk, but also hide behind something so you can duck for cover if he starts shooting. And not just behind a lone tree where he could pin you down, somewhere that has an escspe route if you need to run away. And we'll need to strike a balance between talking quietly enough to avoid attention, but loudly enough so that you can hear each other from a safe distance.

You spare no delay rushing to the market place. Time is ticking and you have flowers to secure! Food and other personal needs could wait.

The lovely raccoon would greet you at her stall. Her tone tries to remain pleasant, her tiny paws however, cover her nose.

Pesuka: “Oh! Uh, morning Eugene. I have a fine selection of fresh flowers here today.”

That she does. Looking over you see the following:
A bundle of roses [3 Gold coins]
A bundle of honeysuckles [1 Gold coin]
A bundle of lavender [1 Gold coin]
A bundle of chamomile [5 copper coins]
A bundle of random un-sorted flowers [1 copper coin]

You will require at least two bundles of flowers for the job.

Currently you have:
7 gold coins
7 copper coins (5 copper on-hold as promised to Mrs. Bramblesnaps)
4 bars of plain bathing soaps [Value: 5 copper]
2 bars of honey-scented bathing soap [Value: 1 Gold]
1 fresh tunic [Value: 2 copper]
1 flowered straw hat [Value: 5 copper]

What will you purchase, or offer to trade the fine lass in exchange for flowers? You do have a moment to haggle.

I am stricken with choice paralysis.
Do you need anything specific? We probably shouldn't cheap out entirely on the queen's washing, regardless.
Is there anything else you'll need to buy after this? Something we need to reserve coins for?

If no, um, how about getting roses, lavender, and assorted, in exchange for 3 gold, one bar plain soap, and one bar honey soap? Plus or minus depending on haggling.

Lavender is a traditional scent for soaps and candles, and was on the shopping list anyway. That is a no-brainer. Roses are pretty, but not really known for their scent properties. Rose water is a thing, but its subtlety only works when it's the only flavor around. Honeysuckle and chamomile are good traditional stuff though. Nobody could fault those.

Unless the queen is known to have a specific fondness for roses, I say get the lavender, honeysuckle and chamomile, and see if she would take a bar of soap or two at equivalent value when you go to pay her.

honeysuckle and lavender should suffice
and throw in that unsorted bundle for spice

Tell the big, mean, heartless, souless, vile, unrefined, unloving, unloved, and most of all yee-yee-ass racoon lady that you already talked about this: you are not stinky. You make orhers stinky. If they attack you. You can relax.

Do get the chamomile, the lavender, and the butterflies (that's what a honeysucker is, right?) for your quest.
