Emerald approaches the door on the opposite side of the one he entered. Having not heard anything, he opens the door slightly and peers in.
It's a room full of reagents and various lab supplies. There is also a rack full of what appear to be complete potions.
What does Emerald do?
>>27544540
Look over what some of the potions are and then leave for the hall.
>>27544514
Colt Quest 40k?
>>27544514
It's good to have you back. Do you have an idea what your new schedule is?
>>27544740
(Nope.)
>>27544577
Emerald looks at the potions on the shelf. Luckily they are all labeled.
There are giant jugs of "Unholy Water", invisibility potions, something called "Fleshrot", "Veritasium Oil", and "Forever Fluid".
What does Emerald do?
I see no point in stealing right now, as cool as they sound to have with us, add the fact that we probably don't understand the actual purpose of some of those anyway
>>27544890
Take one invisibility potion from the back of the rack
We can make another for him later, but we need this one.
>>27544890
Don't steal anything, and leave.
>>27545097
>>27545167
>>27545187
As much as Emerald wants that invisibility potion, he doesn't feel it's right to steal at the moment. Emerald turns around and walks out the door back to the staircase.
What does Emerald do?
>no risks unless it's for gay porn
God this is an annoying group of people to play with
>>27545275
Aw come on, why can't we take some of the potion, would they really miss that much? It's not like we have to take gallons or anything, wouldn't the same amount we drank before be sufficient? How much is sitting there? If it's the only thing sitting there, then that would be a lot more noticeable. Would the ingredients for it happen to be sitting next to it? We could always be a bit sneaky and see if we can't remember what Joy did to make it,(could we do an Intelligence roll for remembering what she did? I got here too late to give my vote on it when we were in the room).
>>27545306
Even though you're talking out of your ass about the risks about gay porn, i'm actually with you in wanting to take the invisibility potion. To me that just screams, hey you can eavesdrop with this, take it.
If he really gets that mad about it,(if LS even noticed right away, we could still make plans to replace it) say that we can compensate him for it later.
>>27545506
Ok it says potions, I can't see much reason to not take at least one, cause I doubt he'd notice right away. And like I said, if he even notices we can always compensate him for one, we have a potion back at the ship if I remember correctly. Though, he'll probably want to know why we took it, we could just say that we were playing hide and seek with Ruby and wanted to make sure we could win,(that'd be straight up lying, but I imagine it'd be hard for them to call us out on it).
>>27545306
>>27545506
>>27545537
Fine, let's do this again.
http://www.strawpoll.me/10387156
I'm going to go run some errands, so I'll update after I get back.
>>27545619
Wait, why potions? Do we need more than one or something? Shouldn't just one be sufficient? Namely the invisibility.
>>27545667
>The name "Veritasium" is a combination of the Latin word for truth, Veritas, and the suffix common to many elements, -ium. This creates "Veritasium", an element of truth, a play on the popular phrase and a reference to scientific elements.
Though that certainly sounds interesting in itself, though I have to wonder what exactly that would do as a potion. Maybe make a boost to your scientific knowledge or something?
>>27545619
Don't steal when we can ask for some later. We'd also be able to find out about the others then and maybe learn some new stuff.
>>27545681
Ok I keep babbling on here, but maybe we could even use a potion in combination with the invisibility potion, like for example that "unholy water" appear undead. He could possibly pour some of that on cloth of some kind and wrap it around himself so they can't use the detect life spell on him? If that would even work, I have no clue or not if that is even something that would be feasible with the potion.
>>27545713
But it's our best chance at eavesdropping unnoticed. Which is what we were trying to do as far as i'm aware of.
>>27545718
WE DON"T EVEN KNOW WHERE THEY ARE!
>>27545737
Which is why we're going to look for them?
>>27545619
We just met the guy, let's not steal from him.
>>27545763
No, we're debating on whether or not to steal from friends.
>>27545769
He's proven to be ok, but like I said, how long would it be before he even noticed? He's not really our friend,(at least I don't consider him a friend, he fucking threatened to kill us/was going to kill us and i'm not forgiving him for it). But whatever happens I guess.
>>27545769
"Friends" who only didn't murder us because they happen to know Joyride
>>27545803
>>27545812
Whether or not he finds out immediately is irrelevant, stealing is still stealing. As for the threatening to kill us part, he is hiding in a remote village in a forest surrounded by security and we just walked in and took something that belonged to him. I was surprised that he actually kept us alive.

>>27419568
>>27545881
A remote village that we didn't know actually had anyone in it, so we didn't even purposely steal it. As far as we knew, it was just something left behind. Let alone zombies that appeared and were trying to catch us, how many people would just stop and have a lil chat with em? That hardly justifies killing some one, how many other individuals have wandered in and were killed for "intruding"? That's a pretty shitty justification for doing something like that assuming they weren't actually out to get you. Don't pretend like he's a good guy, cause he's far from it. I don't give two shits about wanting to start over, i'll give him a bit of a pass for not actually killing us, though i'm not gonna pretend he's a nice guy for doing so. After we get out of here I never want to see any trace of him or LE again. This just makes me want to have the book burned just to spite him.
>>27546025
I ain't pretending that he's a good guy. I'm acknowledging the mindset he has and trying to understand why he acted the way he did. He is a monster and, even though he can be nice and polite, his past experiences with living creatures has been them trying to kill him (or at least make him stay dead considering the whole lich thing). He has every reason to be paranoid and expect the worst. The important thing is that he was able to realize that we meant him no harm and that we could be trusted. Something that we'd ruin if we steal from him.
>>27546072
Stealing a potion isn't the same as accidentally stealing that quite important to him book, and quite honestly I'm to the point I'm not sure I give a shit. As far as i'm concerned it's karma coming back to him a bit, how much is he gonna miss one little potion? Maybe two at the most.
I'm pretty sure he's ruined a lot of lives so I don't really feel that bad for him. Especially when his first reaction is to just off any "Intruders" and "thieves". He get's no sympathy from me.
I'm starting to think we should let Pip out, he's a bad pony/whatever he is and would deserve no less than to be burnt to a crisp. All the bad things he did don't just go away because he decided to not be a douchebag anymore. Admittedly I don't know the full extent of damage he did to other ponies lives, but I bet it was quite a bit.
>>27546003
pls no shilling, we can use catalogs just fine.
>>27546148
Why not run around destroying his entire lab while we're at it then? We could also walk up to his face and laugh at him about stealing his stuff, it isn't like he doesn't deserve it. Two wrongs don't make a right. Also we aren't some divine force, we're a colt deciding whether or not to knowingly steal from somebody.
>>27546193
Cause we're gonna be subtle about it, not stupidly brazen. We are still in his place after all, it would not be smart to be openly defiant, even with Joy here. And no, stealing a potion is not being openly defiant, not by a long shot. I'm pretty sure he's well off enough he doesn't even need to worry about something like that. Why does he even have those things, do potions work on the undead?
And in his case it's his probably more in the double or triple digits wrongs vs our one wrong to him. The fact that you don't think he deserves something for being such an ass astounds me.
Why do you think he'd even care about a potion so much in the first place? I doubt it'd even be close to the book in terms of how much he'd care about it being gone. This is payback for even thinking about killing us, i'm a firm believer in fighting fire with fire sometimes.
>>27546193
>Why not run around destroying his entire lab while we're at it then?
Because that wouldn't help, obviously.
There's a difference between doing something because it helps you and doing something because you're being actively malicious.
I don't think stealing potions of unknown purpose or efficacy from the lab of our host is either wise or nice. We have other things to be about.
>>27545619
The only advantage the potion would bring us is that we won't be as easily spotted once we do find them.
Hopefully we will be gone before they would even know one was missing.
>>27546266
>>27546272
The point of that post was that two wrongs don't make a right. He might not give a damn, but if you do actually believe in karma than doing something wrong to him and thinking his past actions justify us would only count against us. Best case scenario is he doesn't notice anything and we get an invisibility potion and a guilty conscience. Worst case scenario is that he realizes that we betrayed his trust and stole from him, thus making him decide to never trust the living again. Do you really want to risk pushing him off the deep end for a measly potion that we don't even need?
>>27546339
Also everybody seems to forget that they can sense the living without relying on sight. So not only is it an immoral idea, it is also a stupid one.
>>27546339
Well I mean, if there were justice he would of been destroyed a long time ago. Yes two wrongs do make a right, circumstancially so and you're not going to convince me otherwise especially since it's mostly subjective like a lot of things in life. I'll admit that the subject matter of "karma" is a pretty slippery slope in itself. I suppose those that would deserve the chance to get back at him are, you know, dead. Or his undead slaves.
>thus making him decide to never trust the living again.
Oh boo hoo, cause killing anyone that comes by shows he has trust? Did you forget that he was gonna kill us had we not dropped a name? Joy is honestly probably the only reason we are alive. So it was being a friend of a friend that saved us.
>Do you really want to risk pushing him off the deep end for a measly potion
I'd like to push him off the deep end of something into a vat of acid if that's what you mean.
>>27546352
I did suggest using the unholy water with it in hopes of masking our presence, though i'm not sure it'd work, so that might be kinda risky. Not only that, but if they don't even suspect that we are there, then they wouldn't even use the detect life spell in the first place. So as long as we were careful they shouldn't even be suspicious of any presence.
>>27546468
>I'd like to push him off the deep end of something into a vat of acid if that's what you mean.
Joyride would not like that.
>I did suggest using the unholy water with it in hopes of masking our presence,
Do we even know that it would work like that? What if it poisons us or does what Holy Water does to vamps.
>>27546468
So you want to try convincing him to go back to using his undead army to conquer the world again?
Mixing a potion we know with one we know absolutely nothing about is an even more idiotic idea. It's not a spell, it's a sense. We have the stench of life.
>>27546502
>Joyride would not like that.
Which is why i'm keeping it to passive aggressive transgressions.
We could put the Unholy Water on clothes and wear them over another layer of clothes or something, I wasn't suggesting ingesting it when I don't even know what it does exactly.
>>27546526
>So you want to try convincing him to go back to using his undead army to conquer the world again?
You know that would just prove my point further right? You don't get to shoot people and then try to have people feel sorry for you and then shoot them again when they don't feel sorry for you.
Besides, I already provided an idea of how to possibly thwart it above.
>>27546568
We have absolutely no idea what Unholy Water does. For all we know it's a bottle of magical acid. I understand that you decided to hate everything about this guy and thus have no problem with doing anything against him, but please accept that others are either indifferent to him of, on some level, like him. I sincerely doubt that Joyride, who was his apprentice for a while, is without sin and I don't hear any blind hatred towards her.
>>27546606
>I don't hear any blind hatred towards her.
There was a long time ago...
>>27546606
>I understand that you decided to hate everything about this guy and thus have no problem with doing anything against him, but please accept that others are either indifferent to him of, on some level, like him.
I'm not a big fan of him either. But this is his turf so to speak. I would rather have LS be a ally and teacher or at least friendly than him as yet another foe that's after us.
>>27546628
So if the character isn't as pure as the driven snow you don't like them?
>>27545306
Actually it's no risks if we don't need to take the goddamn risk.
Oh, and I'm gonna throw life-detecting magic out there. Have fun with that invisibility potion.
>>27546659
>So if the character isn't as pure as the driven snow you don't like them?
That's not what I said. I said that there was a few people that really hated Joyride and they made a big fuss about her pimping Emerald out and her general aloofness.
>>27546678
I posted that more out of jest than as a serious question.
>>27546678
they are not around anymore.
>>27546683
Sorry but I missed the joke. Must be the fact that I'm a different anon than the one fussing about LS.
>>27546606
I did say he can prove to be nice when he wants to be, but that doesn't excuse him for being a fuckhead that was about to kill us. And that's one of the reasons I really really really don't like him and I certainly wouldn't feel bad for him if he got screwed over a little.
>I understand that you decided to hate everything about this guy.
Nah just the parts about being him being a power hungry homicidal jackass that tried to take over, and recently was going to kill us.
>We have absolutely no idea what Unholy Water does.
I can only guess too, but I really doubt it's like acid. Whatever it was just a suggestion afterall.
>but please accept that others are either indifferent to him of, on some level, like him.
The fact that some people are even indifferent to him when he was going to kill us,(I mean seriously, that's one of shittiest things you can do to someone you just met. Sure there are worse things, but that hardly makes up for that fact) is what baffles me by how illogical it is. So no I won't accept it, I acknowledge it, but i'm not accepting it.
>>27546665
The "Fleshrot" potion actually sounds like it would have the best chance of throwing off their magic/senses, but that obviously sounds pretty risky in itself.
LE did say that LS's senses were'nt as strong as hers. So I think as long as we were sneaky they shouldn't even know we are there. And we could get away with just using the invisibility potion.
>>27545619
I'm going to err on not taking the potions. I don't 100% trust Ol' Cloakey either but the fact he's already been generous enough to let us go, use his library and tour around his village is enough to tell me he's not so bad. I don't think it'd be a good idea to do something that would wear out that generosity, regardless of whether he finds out or not. We'd be stealing against someone who may not be our friend, but is still someone who chose not to kill us and made us his guest.
Second, we also don't know for sure what these potions could do to us. They may be labeled for certain things, but exactly how they may affect us is still a big question. We may know what some of them are, but we don't know how much is necessary to take effect, if drinking a certain amount would be poisonous, or whether they would even work on us. We need to remember these are LS's potions, not Joyride's; for all we know, these may only work on undead, or worse, could be fatal to the living.
>>27545619
Emerald good boy, don't take potion. Not just us that get in trouble if caught now

Roll Int or Perception to determine if we're missing something? An illusion, perchance
>>27545619
Emerald decides for sure not to steal any potions. Maybe if he is lucky, he can ask for one and Lord Sepulcher will give it to him.
Emerald isn't sure what to do now though, so he sits on his keister and looks around the corridor. Nothing seems to have changed since he was in it last however.
What does Emerald do?
>>27547866
Back to searching.

I imagine joyride would have a more sultry voice but this works too
>>27547866
my vote is either the 4th or 6th door.
>>27547866

(Sorry, meant to update more today... But then I went and bought Overwatch and now it's time for bed.)
Unsure of where to go next, Emerald peers carefully into each door in turn.
The first door is full of giant clay cauldrons with tops sitting all in rows stretching all the way back to a door across from the entrance Emerald is at now.
The second is the lab.
The third is not lit in any way, and Emerald can hardly see into the room at all, however he does here voices. Unfortunately Emerald doesn't think they are the voices of Joyride or Lord Sepulcher.
The fourth is full of cages full of some sort of undead creatures. Emerald knows they are undead because they are mostly bone suffused with metal to hold their frames up. There is another door across the room from here.
Emerald opens the fifth apprehensively, and inside he spots nothing more than a giant obsidian slab. Around the walls are various tools, all in different states of disrepair and rust.
The sixth is full of weapons and armor, much like the first room they are all set in racks in rows all the way to the back of the room where there is another door.
...And the bottom is still the library, and still empty.
What does Emerald do?
>>27550343
sixth door.

You touch the monolith, for one brief shining moment you have answers to all your problems save for the fact that you have just touched the monolith.

The next moment your heart bursts in your chest and your mind collapses in upon itself under the weight of the realization that you too are made of star stuff.
With your dying breath you lick the monolith.
It tastes faintly of snozberries.

I'll vote for door #3. I'm curious about those voices. They may not be LS and Joy but they could be someone who might know where they are. There could be a door here too that we just can't see because of the darkness. We could use our light spell to light things up.
I also voted door #1 on >>27553203's behalf (apparently you can vote more than one choice).

Emerald enters the room with all the clay pots.
It is indeed, just full of giant clay pots. They are all roughly the same size, but there is some slight variation between them.
What does Emerald do?
>>27560291
try the door at the other end. (There was a door mentioned in the earlier post.)
>>27560291
I guess take a curious look into the pots, if that's all there is in here then we should look in another room.

Emerald is very curious about what is in the pots, but he instead goes over to the door and listens to see if he can hear anything. It's completely silent, and Emerald opens the door a crack to see inside.
The entirety of the room houses a huge clay pot with a winch attached to the cover, probably to help take it on and off.
On the side of the room is a lever that if Emerald had to guess, probably lifts the top off the pot.

>>27569235
Here's what I what I wrote last time:
Well okay. I'm no Patreon user myself but I might suggest a few things.
Maybe for $5 a month a early preview of a drawing?
Maybe for $10 a month you draw a B&W sketch of a character's OC?
For $25 a month a color drawing of their choice?
For $50 a month maybe something special?
As for goals maybe start with whatever programs, tools, and hardware you need to buy in order to improve your skills and time?
Perhaps from there maybe another goal could be for animations or streaming program/equipment... etc.
Sorry that I don't have a better suggestion these are off the top of my head.
>>27569312
I think some other anon suggested a flash game/Visual novel to be a goal as well.
>>27569312
>>27569329
>>27569235
Of course another goal could be better internet.
>page 10
>>27569329
Do you have any idea how much time and effort goes into one of those things?
It's a fuckton.
>>27570778
well some other anon suggested it.

What should Emerald do?
>>27572372
Voted other room. Go to drawing room and ask a zombie if they saw LS or Joy come this way earlier.
>>27572372
Maybe just leave; I don't think we're going to find them.
>>27572395
That could work.
>>27572372
I voted other room and I too think we should go ask a zombie in the drawing room if they saw where LS and Joy went.
>>27572372
Had to do a double take with you using that vector image. Thought you might be an imposter.
Anyway, go to one of the rooms that had a door in it we never opened. Carefully have a peeksie.
I don't want to open the jars, I already have a guess at what's in 'em; and it's a look at where our organs would've gone if our dead ass had ended up on Sepulchur's operating table.
If we can't find her anywhere,let's go for a walk in that door that had nothing but blackness in it.After we toss something in to make sure it isn't an "out of bounds" area like clipping through a map in a vidya

>I don't want to open the jars, I already have a guess at what's in 'em; and it's a look at where our organs would've gone if our dead ass had ended up on Sepulchur's operating table.

Emerald leaves and walks back up to the top of the stairs and into the drawing room. He gives one of the zombies a poke, and he looks up distractedly.
Emerald asks if Joyride and Lord Sepulcher came this way. The zombie smiles and gives a nod, commenting that they went through the door Emerald just acme out of and then goes back to his work.
Emerald shrugs and heads back through the door. Only a few rooms they could be in now. Thinking on it a bit, Emerald realizes the door with the Obsidian slab didn't have any doors leading off of it, so they probably aren't in that room.
Where does Emerald go?
http://www.strawpoll.me/10409983
>>27572674
I have a feeling they are either in the dark room or they are in the cage room.
>>27572674
I see that dick you drew in the top right. Nice Freudian slip there bud.
>>27572674
Multiple Choice?
>>27572674
>>27572834
(Last for the night.)
Emerald goes into the unlit room. There were voices in there after all. Maybe he was wrong and it was actually Lord Sepulcher and Joyride's voice.
Emerald walks in, and seeing as it's unlit and incredibly dark, he uses his light spell.
It appears to be a bunch of metal working stations set in a row going down a far hallway... At least as far as he can see. His light spell doesn't seem to be going as far as it does usually.
What does Emerald do?
>>27573634
This isn't Darkness. This is ADVANCED DARKNESS.
>>27573634
Of course we're gonna head down the hall. Slow and quiet, keep our ears perked and eyes open
>>27573634
Dim the light spell and advance slowly. Examine the machinery as we pass it.
>>27573916
it's magical darkness so dimming the spell would only make it harder for us.
>>27573916
>>27573925
>>27573634
never mind then! Just advance slowly and examine the machinery.
>>27573634
I'm unsure how these INT and PERCEPTION rolls even work. Can we perception for anything that might pose a threat, or int on what we make of this light-consuming darkness?
As a side thought, hope Ruby's gettin on okay with Stingerbutt.

Emerald cautiously moves forward, checking out each machine as he passes.
>Intelligence check
>Rolled 5, passed
Emerald doesn't recognize most of these machine. He sees an anvil and something that looks like a drill attached to a large base, but past that they are all foreign objects to him.
>Perception Check
>Rolled 3, Passed
Emerald stops in his tracks. He thought he heard a very low, metallic scrapping coming from somewhere up ahead, followed by some whispered, unintelligent words no louder than a gust of wind.
What does Emerald do?
>>27576057
approach with caution.
>>27576057
How many voices are there? One? Two? Can we tell?
dead cyoa
>>27576706
Nah, just couldn't get a second it before I had to go to work.
>>27576057
>that perception
Sounds creepy. I don't like it. Be ready to use a Push spell. I wonder if the threat is metal, will our Push spell even knock it away? Therefore if we're attacked, use the spell as a means to divert the attack's direction, knocking it off course, rather than outright trying to push the thing away.
>>27577608
Then book it the hell out of there.
But I have a gut feeling it's not as bad as it sounds.

"Yo listen up here’s a story
About a little colt that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees
Is just blue like him inside and outside…"
>>27578644
And he's tiny, don't forget tiny.
>>27578644
this is a cute colt
>>27578644
Wait, I thought Emerald was green? Am I just extremely colorblind? I remember at some point we were Sapphire, but we didn't have the same colors as the ones in the pic. What is going on?
>>27579118
He's green, he's always been green and was in fact named emerald because he was green.And I would know I picked his pallet at the beginning of the quest.
>>27579118
He's green. But this pic has Emerald colored with a bluish tint.
Nein
>>27576133
>>27576140
>>27577608
Emerald proceeds carefully ahead, the scraping and the muttering getting louder with each step.
Emerald stops with a thrill of horror as a pair of claws come around the side of one of the columns. A strange creatures pulls itself around it to look at Emerald, floating hauntingly in mid-air. Much like the kraken, it seems to be part carcass and part machine. This one seems to have bug eyes. claws, a pincer hand, razor sharp teeth, and thick, rope-like wires where his legs should be.
"YoU ShOuLdN't Be HeRe..." The creature says, barely audible over Emerald's own heart thumping almost out of his chest.
What does Emerald do?
>>27580213
"Hi I'm Emerald, who are you? Did your master come this way?"
>>27580213
Understood, leaving right now
>>27580213
I think this would've been a good time for the invisibility potion. Oh wait..!
>>27580213
This: >>27580283
Not this: >>27580299
Nor this: >>27580335
>>27580213
Back away slowly and ask if LS came this way? Also remind the creature that we are his guest.
>>27580213
Running will only give us a bad image upon the undead. All we can do now is act like the innocent colt we are and say we were looking for someone, but got lost.
>>27580213
Im a power fuckin wizurd, beast. And you'll tell me if Lord Sepulcher came through here
>>27580213
Put on a brave face. Don't let him see fear.
>>27580213
"Oh, this isn't the bathroom, is it. Oh well I'll just be going, I'll have to have a word with the receptionist about giving bad directions..." whilst backing away with a big smile.
>>27580213
Apologize and say that we are simply lost and looking for his master.
>>27580213
we should say something like "Oh, sorry I got lost. I was looking for my mistress, Joyride, do you know where she is?"
>>27580213
It's funny to think that if we had gone to the tower first instead of the church. THIS would've been the thing to greet us.
>>27580213
Commence backing up. Don't run, but do begin backing away slowly. Ask if Joy and Sep came this way. Keep that Push spell ready for deflecting
>>27580283
>>27580391
>>27580432
>>27580441
>>27580494
>>27580514
Emerald starts to back away slowly, and doing his best not to sound afraid asks if Lord Sepulcher or Joyride came this way.
"NoOoOo... He HaSn'T cOmE tHrOuGh HeRe ReCeNtLy..."
The creature slowly hovers towards him, flexing his claws and open and closing his pincer.
What does Emerald do?
>>27580883
For me, the claws and pincer action is enough. I think a good bout of running and screaming would probably be the most rational course of action.
>>27580883
You have to leave man, his lower half is probably taking a shit, give the dude some privacy
>>27580883
Say that we are his guest and are simply looking for him. Keep away from the pincers and claws.
>>27580883
Apologize for the intrusion and make a hasty retreat.
>>27580964
Agreed.
"Okaysorrytobotheryoubye!"
>>27580949
This. Immediately. Don't panic unless he doesn't believe you or doesn't care. That being said, if either of those are the case, RUN.
>>27580883
Don't panic but keep backing up. Tell the creature that we are Lord Sepulcher special guest and was simply looking for him.
>>27580883
ask what this room is for? And why is he here?
>>27580883
Back away. Maybe a little quicker. But tell him we are a guest of LS and should not be harmed. Apologize for bothering him.
>>27580883
We heared more than one voice in here earlier. Be on the look out. We don't want to back up into another one of these.
>>27580883
Tell him that we were just poking around the place and we will gladly get out of his hair, and joke about how he nearly scared you out of your hair.
>>27580931
>>27580948
>>27580949

>>27581102
>>27581128
>>27581236
>>27581279
>>27581500
Emerald backs away quickly, apologizing for bothering him and doesn't stop until he gets to the other side of the door.
He takes a deep breath, but a voice from behind him sends a chill down his spine.
"YoU'vE sEeN tOo MuCh..." The monster says, seeming to phase through the wall in a ghost like manner.
What does Emerald do?
>>27581673
Can we get a list of the doors we haven't checked so far?
>>27581700
>Can we get a list of the doors we haven't checked so far?
Uh, what about the monster that's after us.
>>27581673
Either we hurry to the weapons/armor room or we make a dash for drawing room and say that one of LS creations is after us.
>>27581709
Kek. Let's go and hide in the comic room with the other zamboes.
>>27581673
do a perception. Is it really phasing through the door?
>>27581709
We have to run somewhere, why not the place that help might be?
>>27581673Fucking christ, apparently this was a terrible idea.
Argue that you don't even know what you saw and it has no significance to you before we do >>27581719 cause we STILL don't know where LS is. And I can't think of what else to do.
>>27581673
The weapons/armor room.
>>27581673
Tell him we are LS guest and not to harm us otherwise your master will be really mad.
>>27581673
tell the monster to knock it off. We are a guest here and already made a deal with LS to be silent.
>>27581673
Oh I know! Let's cue the funny chase scene where we run around through all 6 doors in the hallway back and forth.
>>27581804
I'm just imagining Emerald trying to hit him on the nose with a newspaper now.
>>27581673
Back away and tell him we are a guest. Don't hurt us.
>>27581673
Brighten up that Light spell as high as we can.
>>27581673
Push him back through the door.
Isn't there a door in one of these rooms we haven't opened yet? Haul ass there. We gotta find them
>>27581673
We need to stop or escape the monster, and find help. Run to nearest known location of friendlies, whilst making clear to the monster that you're a guest of LS.
>>27581673
If this thing's part machine, does it have a power core? We saw Joy hand one off so we know what it looks like hopefully. See if he has one
>>27581673
Tell him If he touches us his boss will have his spectral butt for it.
>>27581673
Tell him to back off. We are LS's guest. If he refuses to listen. Use the push spell and run to either the weapons' room or the drawing room.
>>27581673
Anyone else get the feeling this all could be some kind of prank Joy/LS are pulling on us in an attempt to teach us not to eavesdrop on them?
>>27581673
>>27582342
do a perception check to see how it is that it's phased through a door.
>>27581673
do perception. Is this a illusion? How can something like phase through a door like a zombie ghost.
>>27582342
I could see that happening. We do kinda have a bad rep for eavesdropping.
>>27582342
Which means we just have to get better at it.
>>27578644
BLE HIS HOUSE
WITH A BLUE LITTLE WINDOW
WITH A BLUE CORVETTE
AND EVERYTHING IS BLUE FOR HIM AND HIMSELF
>>27582342
>eavesdrop
In the event we found them I was going to advocate that we not do that. Just let ourselves in.
>>27581673
Do perception. Is this a illusion like Joyride once did?

As far as Emerald knows the thing is real, and coming at him at his own, slow pace. Emerald yells at it again that he is a guest and that Lord Sepulcher will have something to say if he does anything.
"DoN't LiE, tHiEf..." The creature says, reaching out his claws towards the colt.
Emerald runs down towards the weapon and armor room. As he opens the door he looks back at the spectre-like creature. It's still following him, but not as fast as Emerald can get away it seems.
He ducks into the room and sees pretty much all manner of weapons he can imagine. They all seem a little... Odd to him, but Emerald can't put his finger on why. Perhaps because they all have a sharp, spiky sort of look to them?
What does Emerald do?
>>27582617
What's that tome on display?
>>27582617
Any other doors in here?
>>27582617
We need to find a ethereal sword
>>27582617
I think it'd be wiser to go back to the drawing room and have one of the zombies vouch for us, personally.
>>27582617
Why don't we just run outside and tell one of the zombies? They could clear things up especially if we found LE.
We definitely need to get outta there. no way anything in the room is safe by any definition. get to a zombie, preferably miss chimera pants.
>>27582617
What's the book. Also is there another door here. Make haste!
>>27582617
Is there another door? If not hurry out before we are trapped.
>>27582617
Look to see if there's another door we can escape through. Otherwise, see if there's another way to evade the ghost.
I don't know if we can make a beeline to where the zombie comic artists are, though; isn't the ghost kinda on the way over there?
>>27582617
Guys. Can we go to the comic room? Why did we come here if the thing chasing phases through matter.
Our best bet is to summon our shield to stall him.
>>27582617
Get the mace. We may need to use if it get's close.
>>27582920
If that thing can phase through physical matter such as doors, do you think a weapon would even have any effect on it?
>>27582617
What's in the book or chest?
>>27582686
>>27582695
I think these work best.
>>27582617
That's a nice book there. Would be a shame if it got read.
>>27582999
>run back out smack dab into buddy
Somehow I doubt that.
>>27582617
Quickly check that book and see if there's another door.
>>27583023
We shouldn't of went in here in the first fucking place. What the hell did we think we were gonna do? We'll use a push if we have to.
>>27583023
But its super slow.
>>27582617
Look for a SILVER weapon.
Like the metal, not just the color.
Supernatural things don't like silver.
>>27583184
You know why its called "supernatural"? Because its super. So running's probably the best option.
>>27582617
Use INT to think of a weapon that might help.
>>27583184
I don't think we could even pick up any of these weapons. Which is why we should really learn the levitation spell sometime.
>>27583259
I bet he can find a dagger.
