We were allowed our own small corner to mourn our friend in the creases of these cavernous networks. Following the Arena battle;
>>46111885
we found ourselves in the seats of power untapped and yet in realizing this our friend faded away right before us.
In the holds of the Furiosa, we gathered around the lamplight waiting for everyone to make their report... " Soon we would have to make our move, the enemy already saw what we're capable of but I suppose the blessings that come with that will show itself in time .... or never again.

The din of the Salt Pit died as the crowds left the stands and the gamblers collected their bounties. The Wyrd Hunt had bested the Twin Daggers and their victory had garnered Bloom his spoils. On any other day winning 800 zeny would feel great, but his spirits weren't high at all. Instead of happiness he could only feel empty; drained; like whatever was left of Nerotan before Fleur consumed her. He stuffed the cash in his pocket and meekly headed back to the Furiosa.
Back on the Furiosa, Bloom dropped off his belongings and headed for the galley. He had told Quaz his interest in alquemy and his hesitation to start just yet. Either as sage advice or a practical joke, he was directed toward cooking. It seemed to make sense. How could you cook a potion if you couldn't cook a simple meal? He stopped pondering the merits of his training and went to work. His progress was slow. The images of the Twin Dagger fight still haunted him. "Is that the pat-life laid out for me now?" he wondered out loud. Being sired into a Midian had greatly bolstered his abilities, yet the verbal tick had remained. He ignored his foible and let the images come back to his mind: Livia declaring the round lethal without hesitation, Nerochan's arrogance, Fleur jumping in to help and death match that ensued. The dexterous feats and skilled both sides had shown awed the young mage. His awe turned to anxiety soon as Livia fell and Kaz was bleeding out. Fleur was then alone and the Twin Daggers were ready to neatly prepare for their next meal. That's when it happened. Calling forth some mysterious power Kaz had summoned a ghost. It was over quickly. The Twin Daggers were no more and the Salt Pit erupted into a cacophony of screams. That fight was over but apparently Kaz wasn't finished. It seem he had made a deal with the ghost and it was collecting its end immediately.

>>46156884
>>46158068
>tfw you hit the character limit and the thread is dying
The ghost was some Norr. Bloom only had a scant idea what that was but even he knew this wasn't an ordinary apparition. The Norr challenged Kaz to a duel. It seemed that was price for his aid. The bout was over quickly. The Norr said a prayer for the fallen Weiss before it vanished. Bloom had stood there in incredulous silence. He could see Meave leaving the stands. He wanted to run away like the battle hardened mage but could only stand there in shock.
>>46158742
He let the memory fade and focused on preparing meals for the Wyrd Hunt; riceballs for Rabbitspaw, kibble for Trigger, pasta for Nutt. His attention faltered once again as he finally considered the decisions he had made in the last couple of weeks: Agreeing to take Pollen's mission, leaving the safety of the Verdant Field to become a runner within the Wyrd Hunt, and his insistence on being sired to gain the knowledge he thought he needed. That last decision was biting at him. Viktor's words finally made sense to Bloom. Being a Midian meant kill or be killed; be the hunter or be the prey. Running was already a dangerous profession, and the young mage made his chances of survival even smaller accepting his new condition. If he was going to survive and fulfill Pollen's wishes he'd need to fight on.
His thought's were interrupted by the temporary Kommondant's voice. It was still strange using the ainsible to see and hear what his comrades did but he could hear the after action report of the Salt Pit. Bloom really didn't want to be reminded of today's events or care that Fleur and Livia got a lot of zeny and equipment. "What about Bloom...?" Bloom looked up to see noone as Burkhard continued,"he could put it in his book to make it stronger or... ingest it. We're down a vampire and Bloom got recently sired. So, would that be acceptable? I'm just suggesting a course of action." The though sickened him. That vial would have been for Kaz had he been alive. He couldn't take Kaz's sacrifice. He wanted to refuse but something stopped him. The prosthetic face of Nerotan and the Twin Daggers resurfaced.
It's kill or be killed; drain or be drained.OOC: I agree if and only if Kaz's player doesn't want it. Also, destroy my writing on IRC. I need to gitgud.

He knew he was a being of shadows and he knew he came from the darc.
Verbal smiles, it made sense to embed this darc crystal with his newly attained dagger and his old one.
He would acquire a new part of himself through the process.

Considering that visiting Understairs is treated as shopping. Pointing that out.
Hey everyone. Since we'll be hitting subfloors in the near future we should start organizing the squads some more. Remember that the subfloors will have a 3 Squad (15 person) limit.
Here's the copy pasta from last time.
Boss [M] Jackie (MIA)
Lieutenant [I] Burkhard (Temp leader)
Head of Guides [N] Khya
Head of Mages (vacant)
Quartermaster: Hetros
==Carbon Canines==

[K] Nordus

As a note: historically, Squad/Party leaders had the power to dictate the order of their party member's actions (so you guys don't need to delete posts to synchronize), will generally summarize their party's actions into a single post (processors love this), and are the "first in line" for bot actions for their party members.
With that done, for the remaining members of our crew, I do suggest that you join a party/squad (or form one, we just don't want too many floating around), even if you've hit an advanced class.
>>46164898
The squads will likely reorganize into 3 groups of 10 for whoever wants in on each job. The various squads as they exist right now won't work.
>>46165516
>About Subfloors.
>Subfloors have a 15 player [or 3 squad] limit. Runners who do not particicpate in a Subfloor may participate in the /next/ one.[1/2]
>The squads will likely reorganize into 3 groups of 10 for whoever wants in on each job. The various squads as they exist right now won't work.
... 3 large groups of ten sound very weird in this context.
15 people or so have tried to organize themselves, so it's just a matter of getting the other 15 people who continually refuse to consider any application of teamwork, mutual aid or organization to sign up and join in.
>>46168196
It's more that we don't know the floors we'll tackle yet. Let the team leadership decide it. Then we'll know who we need for each job.
The current 3 teams make no sense if we, for example, need a full stealth team. Or a team of full on heavy hitters with no newbies at all.
Does someone have armor level 4 or more that i can borrow to try possessing? I doubt the Salamander Armor would allow it without the Zeal cost. If I cannot possess high level armor without penalties then I might as well give it to someone who can use it eventually.
>>46168979
I have [Raider Armour (lvl 3, +2 def, +1 atk)] if you like.
>>46169080
I am already level 3, I need something higher then my own level for the test.
>>46168366
Spending the first 10-90 posts of every thread trying to negotiate and sort out who belongs where sounds like a good way to incur a headache and drown any discussion about relevant events.
And having random team leaders tell people what to do goes against the spirit of the game. So I'd rather people just signed up now, and then at least there's a functional basis for reasonable continued progress.
>>46169311
It's not assigning people, it's leadership being assigned for each mission and then setting up 'we need this sort of person for this mission, they get first dibs' and then letting people rolecall into them once we've decided where we're going.
>>46169427
You see, the problem with this, is we got, what, 30 or so people?
And not all of those people are going to be optimized for any specific mission requirements. Hell, most of our mages and just about all our base knights wouldn't be qualified for a stealth op (which always descend into a clusterfuck, I might add).
The CO seldom, if ever, has the luxury of who they want to go on a mission. More often than not, they have to work with what they're given. Squads at least give the CO distinct units that they don't need to micromanage and can trust they can complete objectives.
>You're too caught up in the idea that squads are to fulfill specific battlefield roles; their sole purpose, rather, is to promote organization and cooperation among players. Taking advantage of squad composition to complete more complex mission objectives is a plus.
>>46164898
I would propose myself as 'Head of Mages' but really we just need to do broad strategy and mostly let our mages operate on their own. Like I recommend we try to use Sacred Geometry and Polarize to throw some fancy buff spells early on in our next floor. If we cooperate on the first turn, we can potentially buff everyone we've deployed.

>>46171443
300 onzes, 3000 sips. 1 sip = one drink of something, likely.
they want 100 onze of plant growth
you have 3 experiments that yours, the rest is theirs. So you have 200 onze spare of water to play with, which is 2000 sips, which is a hilariously large amount of potions, infusions and formulae.
You need to make a plant growth formula, and you need to make sure there's enough for it to be 100 onzes. The rest you can play with.

The service was small. After all, half the understairs didn't even understand what they'd just watched - it just made for good sport. So only a few people remained for whatever would pass as a respectful wake for the lost warrior. No body was left, just blood - so the only thing left fit to burn was his armor, so recently salvaged. And so a pyre was set, scavenged wood and tinder scavenged from refuse in the slums. Yet barely as the smoke rose, a splash of water extinguished the flames surrounding the vilord armor. Turning to see who would desecrate a service to their companion, those members of the Wyrd Hunt were presented with -
"My name is Grenouille. I had my dreams interrupted by visions of this armor and the death of the man who wore it. Dreams which called me to defy sanity and descend the stairs to seek this moment here, and you his companions."
>Kaz's inheritor appears
>>46172543

>>46172543
" Well see here - "
Questi: I'll handle this !
Livia you murder this thing if he slips up- "
A range of quick fire questions shot at the amphibian rogue, with determination his knowledge and recognition of the events here seemed second nature, like an unfamiliar room in a familiar home.
At this Questi's finger drops, the Djinn bends a knee from the exhaustion.
" He passes." She says. " Do with him what you will "
" I just did the time conversions, and his dates match up with the events even up to the time of Kaz's death... "
" Ah... allow me to explain everyone, we maybe dealing with yet another descendant of Norr but I find it odd, I thought Norr bloodlines only extended to human relatives, this is definitely a first recorded case telling as it is... "

Dara Dara, I would like to re-iterate my desire to for 1 of the 3 Stable Power Cores we possess. When we go up against Mendelle, we're likely to encounter more anyhow.
>Request 1 stable power core
There's also an accounting error in your ledge - we have 2 Hellfire Grenade Prosthetic Launchers, not 1. Somewhere along the way, one has been lost in accounting. However, I would very much like one as well so there will soon only be the 1 in the group bank. I am the only member of the Wyrd Hunt with a prosthetic augmentation, which means I may be the only member presently able to utilize this technology. I would like to try. I think I can interface with it, and it should slot into my arm somewhat neatly.

Oh right, and this dog-eared thing - I forgot I had this lying around.
>Donate the book "The Paper Fortress - Trap Runes and Practical Applications" to the guild bank.
Got that in Moth's Flame, right before that entire interdimensional jaunt and all. Then I was in Hel. I didn't exactly have a lot of time to read.
Speaking of Hel, has anyone seen Latvian? I haven't thanked her properly for bringing me back, fur, face and all. There was a lot of shouting and screaming initially. If anyone sees her, please tell her I owe her my everything? Forever? Also that if she'd like, I do also have this, which is small thanks for saving a soul. Oh, Meave, you're going in the same direction right?

Isaac- As Isaac was sent off to look for ship parts he got a clue to nose around for a certain salvage collector only to end up surrounded by men with black hoods and bags for heads. Isaac was not heard from after that...
Trigger- As Trigger got around to asking all the right questions his nose took him to the Gran Magazine where a certain smell of spices caught his nose. As he tailed the figures carrying bags of hard floppy objects outside of the coliseum he saw them shift in formation and began walking in different directions. He pursued, another alley, they split off again, he paused but continued, until at least the twisted cavern took him to a dead end where men where humanoid shapes did surround him and a hook punctured against his neck. When the odds started to get stacked against him, a ghastly illusion disrupted his attackers causing one of them to attack the other. Trigger lets off a few rounds killing a human and finally forcing the rest of them to scuttle off. . .. Verbal materialized after the fact and gave a bow.
Torr had seen Abdul leave the Coliseum as he approached he witnesses him get in a heated conversation with a masked figure, as he pried closer to look gloved hands disabled him from behind and the smell of spices penetrated to the back of his mind...

=An emptiness of magi=
Latvian looked sidelong at the boy who gave no response. " If it's you we should be fine "
Meave, Latvian, and Femto walked towards the empty caverns of the corridors until only abstract shapes glimmered back in the emptiness. Time didn't move forward here, and the stale air gave no comfort in time's forward march. Evertything was still, even motions. But thought had always been present.
"They will die , you know " He said.
" That's why I sent the moths after them. A few runners , a few less murderers. It is not worth the life of 10 more or even 1 more innocent person. But I've seen how you act. Send one through the void and you're already more than willing to risk it all for one. Send 4 ? I can't await the results. " He said blankly. " You want to push me off ? Go ahead, I know you won't but my being here means I'll keep trying to destroy you, the one /evil/ that continues to ruin everything I have !"
Latvian extends a hand and gives him a sharp slap.
"Don't spit on your emissaries, child, if you value righteousness so badly why dont you summon the courage to take your own life !" Latvian winked at Meave. A golden oppurtunity presents itself here ..
>Meave: Wat do ?

=Old Spice=
Durian and Morde sought out Loctice and described in smaller words the problem that they faced, " I see, so Hunters have been raiding the Underside more boldly I see. As you know , the Djinn, the Faeborn and the Humans comfortably dominate the upper parts of the Crystal Corridor due mostly in part to a victory won by the Scholomance in securing their own wizard's Tower in what is probably the safest place you can ever imagine from the Mal.
The Overside, us, tend to not want to acknowledge that another corridor exists and that would be where the monster races resided, Recently however, as the Umbral sea began to rise, the monsters have started to ascend and the humans took it as both an attack and a slap in the face. For you sea the Umbral sea is untapped resource of water, and it could mean life in the Corridors. For this reason alone Humans were given reason to be jealous of their bounty and recently have begun launching attacks ,raids, and even kidnappings at the risk of starting all out war. To do this they normally cover themselves in human food spices to mask their identity and to ward off suspicion of their identity. However this bag that you gave me is strange, you said your friend was attacked with it ? It smells nothing like the spices we know, in fact this smells mightily of the ferns and grasses that they managed to grow in the Fennlands... "

Ziegfried and Penny traced the scent to a twisted alley where various figures draped with bags over their heads stood shoulder to hip to head to knee next to each as they surrounded the two. " What do you think everyone ? How much would you think that mask is gonna pay for a Dulahan and a Ghoul ? I dunno but I'm not handing them over if Bones can pay a better rate to have em sponsored in the Salt " The myn laughed when suddenly one of them gets lobbed by a dulahan's head and a Ghoul reached out to slam one against the wall.
In the backroom of the Diet Shop, the Kerbold, the orc and the gnome were chained up against the cushy seats of the establishment. According to them, a figure with a white coat and a mask has been paying hot underground networks to gather up capable bodies to capture and send towards a contact in the Fennlands. The idea of disguising themselves as the bagheaded hunters came about recently to mask suspicion.
When asked about the real hunters all they knew of it was that they smelled highly of Salt and Fish...

Something was gnawing at the back of Kail's mind. He needed... Something. Yes, he needed to /make/ something.
As he wandered the corridors, he always managed to find himself back at the Hubter's Circle. The basement beckoned.
>pay 250z to access the basement (52z remain)
He smiled at Loctice, and told her a little about the Claymoore, thanking her profusely.
As he entered the basement, his purpose was made clear to him. He whispered, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"A lion..."

=Saved by the Bellaim=
[and how learning runes in your off time is a PCA]
Graves: Like any Runner we all start to go through phases of megalomania now and again, as the FLoors mounted in danger being powerful was a necessity as much as it had be a right to those who survived. That was us so many revolutions ago. Bellaim's Basket was the group that brought us up from our youth to ready us for war. Always with the drills, the practices, always with live targets and real consequences. We were sharp, we were also children. As the seasons went new faces were replaced by old ones and only the names of people remained in our minds until we switched to numbers. He gestured towards the tattoos that arrayed the skin on his forearms. Volga's pet projects did get quite sophisticated after that point .
We trusted Bellaim who whisked us away from all those dead worlds to lead us to a new journey a new frontier. And so the order came that the best Volgon monster hunters were called to action, this time to collect. To study and to become stronger. We had a fortress you see, to contain all these monstrosities, these curiosities. It wasn't until my perfect memory forgot the first number that I had a crisis of conscience and revolted against them along with my brothers."
He looked to his tattoos, a finger running over a specific row of numbers None of them were arranged in numerical order..
" Of course it's a dead floor now , the terminus ran out ages ago, its machinery likely seized by the Volgons. However if you can imagine it, my experiences with demi-crystals have taught me that you can create time /anywhere/ if you have the proper concentration of element as a power source. In the Kismet we used the levin of storm clouds , but I don't see why you can't tap into another with a small change in the aetheric converters... "

Winding alleyways and twisted corridors that fall away into darkness. The shadows were alive. He chased phantoms, always out of reach, down another little dark path. The branching paths the veins into the twisted heart of crime. He'd chased a crime and at the end of it all the crime had chased him into an ambush. A dog chasing its own tail. Humanoid shadows, smelling of spice and a patient killing intent. Goons. It always came down to goons. Dogsbodies trying to protect some conspiratorical master.Couldn't stand toe to toe with anyone in a proper slugging match. The hook proved that. Could feel the metal tip grinding aginst bone as he shifted to cover himself, panting with bloody exertion.
"Before you kill me - one question"
The lead one, built like a hunchback and with the scars of a professional troublemaker,
said nothing. Not the most talktative bunch, then. Couldn't even get them to gloat.
"Why are you... hitting yourself?"
The assailant had time to be confused, but only just. Then his own fist became the focal point of his attention as it slammed through his teeth.
====
Rookie Spooks was bowing. Elaborately. He had a little hand flourish in there and everything.
"Yeah yeah, show-off. I had them running. That entire getting myself hooked? Tactical diversion"
It was probably hard to express slightly smug, bemused superiority with nothing but your hands but Verbal managed.
"Y'know, I can just shine a light on ya. Then we'll see who's the hardcase here, Mister I-Can't-Take-Sunlight"
Oh Spiral, what did that gesture even /mean/.
"Oh, fine, we'll chalk this one up as your victory. Nice job by the way. How'd you even make that one do that? I didn't think arms bent that way.
Oh.

= We will find them, Pneumaether What =
The Pneumaether " The Cartographer repeats, " To begin explaining it relies on 3 fundamental facts, the first one being that the Corridors is not completely disaffected by the Mal, if anything it's more intricately linked than anyone will realized, the second is that the Corridors themselves is an empty space between space towards the next floor and yet here we are sitting in non-existent time, taking up non existent space and coming out the other side. The third thing you should know then, is that the Pneumaether Labyrinth exists as a product of those that came before us, perhaps even the designers of the Corridors themselves, and of its many purposes, only one has been quite clear to us, it's to act as a shortcut to any other floor.
Dish stares wide eyed at the cartographer.
" Those who remember or know their way around the Labyrinth is gifted with an easy time, think of it as a bypass for those wishing to travel up a whole revolution of floors or below to a Subfloor of your choosing. One requires a good group as the labyrinth is quite treacherous the second requires directions to get there. One can use this to transport prisoners for example, or have them locked up in an unknowable floor until the Mal claims them. That's simply where my services come in, as I can transcribe maps for you so that you can in fact arrive at a floor of your choosing. A warning however, the Pneumaether invites many dangerous people, not to mention the dangers you face on the other side. It is also a realm that unsurprisingly exists outside of Runner law. If you understand that, then I can get to making your map much like how I did for your Scholar friend "

=Do skinless giants dream of punch gods ?=
Nut tailed Avdol for quite some time even going as far as disappearing from his own awareness. He followed him to an empty part of the corridors and observed the red man sit down on an inch deep pond and go still. Completely still....... until after much time it seemed like the ogre has gone to sleep. But no, his eyes were open. They were open the whole time.
>>46174836
Meave gave Latvian concerned look as she stepped between the two, holding up a hand, "Calm. please.."
She turned to Femto kneeling to look him in the eye, hands on his shoulders. "I assure you, Femto, I don't want to push you off. And why do you think I won't? Because you've had my companions imprisoned? I've told you that you're important to me -and it's not for any practical reason you might dream up. I had almost gone up the stairs alone when I heard you were taken by the doppelganger. Would you not have done the same for anyone you cared for?
"Similar to you, I lost everything dear to me when I was very young. It took years for me to come to grips with what happened but I was fortunate to have someone there for me. He didn't give up on me, had the patience and will to help me back from the darker corners of my heart and soul.
Meave sighed, placing a hand on Femto's still red cheek, "I don't want to see you in such a place. Femto, I'd like to be that person for you if you'll have me."
Rolled 6, 2 = 8 (2d6)
>>46175933
Nut let out a sigh. He had been suppressing his breath the entire time observing Avdol, so he would not give his location away. But now he stepped out of the shadows.
He clumsily strapped his shield onto his shoulder. Then he proceeded to take off his one gauntlet and his mismatched pair of boots, before placing them in his satchel.
Barefoot and unarmed, he stepped into the puddle towards the orge. He quietly sat down next to him, facing the same direction and trying to mimic his position.
He inhaled again. His eyes were open. He had to keep his eyes open the entire time. He had to concentrate on his surroundings, on the puddle, on the non-existent space around him.
"Psst... Psssssst... Psst Avdol... Do I need to remove my helmet for this? Because it feels like I should... But I don't really want to...
What's that? Helmet or not? ...You're the expert..."
>>46171074
The Fenlands bristled with with grasses and lurching plantlife as they approached. In a clearing, a faint but pervasive glow of light hung above them in the form of ambient crystals and below a sea of trees swayed before a Gate.
" The Fennlands, " Golgo began, " Connects to a Floor brimming with life, a small victory to us Monsters who were so shunned by light and the humans that flourishd under it. Monsters enter there to engage in hunts and should they manage the stairs, find themselves approaching Salt Flats amongst other places. But that isn't also what the Fennlands is for, come with me "
Before them was a big field draped in forestry and ash and what looked to be a temple with a dragon's statue mounted prominently on a cobblestone yard. " The Church, and what became of it after a fire bombing. The air didn't hold, which was why the fires did not spread worse than it could have, hardly anyone was hurt, save for a Druid that got taken. Runa her name was and she tended to this forest here. So magnificent was her work that even prominent families like the Barthols took up residence close to here.. a shame that their place was also a target of attack... "

There was no answer of course. The giant was asleep. It was then that he sniffed and with a roar Stood Up and Suplixed a boulder ! " YOU SEE THAT MASKED MAN ! YOU CANNOT CONTROL MEEEEEeeeee ? "
Noodle sat in the water without his greaves on on his eyes wide as if seeing a ferocious Ogre with the power to smash a rock with his bare fists.
The ogre points. " You're with the Weird Hunt ? Did you come to fight me ? Avdol will wish to Knoowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww "
>>46176498
"Fight? A fair duel would be splendid, two strong willed warriors fighting for glory! Wouldn't that be grand?!
But it would not be a fair duel master Avdol, your spirit has been honed beyond mine. I would need to train first, I would need to grow, get stronger!"
Even with the enraged brute towering over him, Nut remained cheerfully calm. Like a toddler who doesn't know that he's petting a dangerous dog.
"And grow I will!
Yes I am with the Wyrd Hunt, but I am not here on their behalf. I am my own man! Think not of them!
My name is Sir Walter Nut of Avolon, and I've come for your guidance, master Avdol! I am a hero on a quest! A quest for strength and glory! And you, brave master..."
Nut bends over, kneeling before the giant. The tip of his helmet touches the water.
"And you fight with the power of a dragon! The speed of a tiger!
I can tell, one so skilled as yourself must be a great and disciplined master! A truly good and noble knight, maybe not in armour, but in SOUL!
Please, master Avdol, teach me, I wish to become just like you and learn your noble ways! Allow me to get stronger, so that one day, we may duel as equals!"
>>46176657
Avdol looked on , a small smile twitched on his rictus grin. " I am sorry, " he proclaims, " my mind, my body, my soul are not mines to keep, for you see, Avdol fights under the letter of the Arena and the arena hungers for many fights, many fists, many of my smiles. "
He shakes his head.
" But you, Human. I have come to envy even YOU who can brave the subfloors and resist that hateful glares of the monsters here, You who are Free to be a Runner ! And what does a Runner want from property ? Nothing ! And so with that I am sorry "

"So I see.
Bound by money, contracts and unfair violence... There are times when the title of 'Sir' seems like a burden, for I am sworn to live the life of a hero. But not this time, I now feel that it frees me from this unfair arrangement. And for that, I AM SORRY.
This is why I wish to become stronger. So that I could undo the likes of you from this evil. I am sorry, master Avdol. But I will become stronger... That I swear upon my shield!"
Nut reaches for his satchel. "I do not have much to offer, but I would like to offer you this piece of bread. Come sit with me, let us eat as equals!
For remember, brave warrior, your body may belong to the arena, but a soul always remains free! Remember that!
...Well, not always, a friend of ours had his soul bound to a piece of rock... Funny story actually, I should tell it some time!
But first, tell me about the arena. Your masters, the masked man... Who are they? Where did you learn what you know about the fine art of bashing heads in?
Tell it all and tell it true, friend. I will not forget you, but first I need to get stronger. And I need your guidance..."

Puzzled and angry, it takes him hours to realize that behind him, in the lab, rests a couple of massive barrels and a few buckets, exactly what he had been looking for. Embarassed, he looks at the one sharing the shack with him, "Not a word of this to anyone, I didn't spend hours not noticing the barrels and buckets."

"Actually, Rookie Spooks..."
The man Trigger had shot finally stopped struggling, leaving Trigger at the end of a dark alley with two dead men and too many questions. There was a clue here, in the dust and the timeless space between worlds.
"I think I've got a Ploy, partner, if you're willing to back me up on this one. The way I see it, these lads are all coming from who knows where. But they've gotta take the people they kidnap somewhere. Now you can wear a man, Spooks, but I can wear a face."

And then they waited.
The Moblin clicked his watch and squinted. On the patch of dirt plumes of white fungii erupted from the dirt and awoke to the cool morning breeze...

Moonie got out a piece of paper and compiled his findings about the Salt Flats.
1. It was the sight of a major battle between the Order, RedStreet, The Volgons and the then named House of M.
1b. House of M then proceeded to split due to ideological differences. One was set on having humans destroy each other, the other simply acted in protection of Monster races....
2. The Saltflats lie between the Argent Sea and a monster controlled Territory called the Fennlands..
3. The Salt Flats gets its name from the aetheric run off it recieves from the Argent sea in the form seasalt clouds. For this reason the "sands" Salt Flats get to be high in Salt, Ground Seashell, and the occasional sunken ship.

"Oh wow, what an interesting place the Fennlands are! But I am very curious of the many subjects you mentioned Golgo, could you tell me about them? If you are uncomfortable with telling me everything or simply don't have the time then just enlighten me about the Barthols please."

Well this was uncanny. A hunter in the garb of the Order with an peerless compass pointing at... huh.
"Hey, Spooks, hold up on that "sneaking into the belly of the beast" plan". Verbal replied with exactly the same silence he'd kept up for the entirety of Trigger's monologue. Made the man a a good partner, that. Left a dog alone to think his own thoughts out loud.
"This is one odd compass. 'Cause last I checked, I wasn't the pinpointed goal of every merchant marine in the Umbral Sea - hang on, let me just...
Yeah it's still pointing at me ain't it?
Okay how about now?
Still? It could be my arms, what with the... I know Khya has that other one that finds crystals. You get Trigger Compases now? Nah. Can't be. This mug's handsome but I ain't /that/ pretty. How then?"
The past was trying to bleed into the present, the smell of blood, whirring bonesaws, surgery and research, antiseptic, metal and flesh and and and-- no. Nothing. Nothing at all. Like Dr. Monkey had said. Just ghost memories.
"Yeah, Spooks. Lt Burkhard is gonna want to see /this/. Also we killed a man. Let's vamoose from this soon to be crime scene and report back to the Lt."

With the shadows gone, Verbal turned to his companion and bowed.
He smiled at the adorable business dog.
He pet its head, pointed to the compass, taps the number and points back to Trigger.
He raises an arm over his head with his hand flat pressed against his forehead.
Verbal looks around and, again, points to Trigger.

I had a friend called Moore. A mage. Really funny guy, he was always cracking a joke. Our navigator couldn't stop cringing.
He was a bit sad he couldn't help the group more, but I always thought he was a great mage.
Last Floor... Hunters attacked us. Three brothers, apparently. They were strong, and hidden in the woods. Long story short, they got Moore.
But Moore wasn't done. Even bisected, he mustered enough strengh to cast an In Tandem spell, and he atomized his killers. Of Moore, only a small marble remained.
But that's not where this story ends. If anything..." The weiss reached for his weapons, and untied the rags wrapped around it, revealing the shining marble set in the sword's guard.
"This was only the end of the prologue. Moore's story carries on, and even now, he fights for the Wyrd Hunt as one of us ! A proud Runner !
So I'd like everyone to raise his glass, and drink, to Moore the Undying !"

Poka looks at the Reaver's Cloak, it looks like someone badly stitched dirty broken feathers and lizard skin pieces that got torn several times by a pack of dogs. She admits that it is not what she has hoped to accomplish on her first try to sew something but in the end it is better than nothing. Now the question is how useful is it, does it even worth something for someone? Maybe it is good for a scary costume.
The moblin ward is a success, the spirits and wards from this charm will scare the moblin races! This item is very useful but Poka knows this is not for her. It is much more useful for someone who is out in the wild where they can be attacked by moblins.
She folds the Cloak and takes the ward, it is time to find someone who can tell her how useful this Cloak is. But whom? Maybe Questi will know? But Questi always asks for money to answer questions and Poka is broke. Maybe Fullbeard? But Fullbeard is a knower of stories not of items. She decided to simply return to the others.

greetings, I'll repost what was told to the previous newcomer:
Its a skirmish game that takes place in a customized world that lets the players play in a world where bassicly a cthulu god is already killed the world but the players main main goal is to go back in time enough to stop it.
You play as one of 6 classes, mage, knight,rouge,hunter, and militia,guide
Mage=doing magic shit
Knight=being the tank main melee fighter
Hunter=look at bloodborne and you have a idea, lots of damage, glass cannon
Militia=modern day rifleman blunderbuss cybernetics that jazz steampunk like
Guide=healer helps the party doing misc stuff can be a pilot and have the power to fast foward or rweind time or just be a paliden whatever
Games are really slow so if you log in 3 times a day for a few minutes your good.
Below is the official chat log of skirmish, go there and ask the people your questions.

Dish quietly contemplates on what he heard, after mulling it over he makes up his mind on what to do next.
"A map would be wonderful but I was wondering if able, if there might be a way to divine further into the pneumaether. I get that it's a mystery wrapped in an enigma but I was hoping that there might be a way to divine something specific in like a person or object within it."

The clock is ticking, Burkhard feels it in his boots, the need to try and piece together this tangled mess of a conspiracy into something that can be called 'a solution'. But then people started getting kidnapped.
He looked at the compass on his desk, #8764, apparently aligned towards trigger but what does that mean? He couldn't come to a conclusion by just having one of these things but if he had two...
No no, this isn't important, what is important right now, more then missing runners, more then kidnappings, more then anything else.
How are they getting in and out of the Underside.
As far as Burkhard was aware the only way inside was one door and that door was guarded by very dangerous monsters and one dullahan that gave him funny looks every time he went in. And yet not only are entire groups of hunters somehow getting into the underside and raiding them for slaves, they're not getting picked up by anything, no one ever seems to see them during the act itself. Somehow, they can get into the underside, round up lone stragglers on the dark backstreets and escape without attracting notice.
And the hunters smelled of salt and sea. Salt, and sea. He wasn't sure where this road was going to end yet, but he damn well knew where he was going to /start/.
He wrote a note, grabbed his gun and headed out the door.
>I'm heading out in regards to our missing runners. I elect Hetros to be in charge in the event that I do not return.

The last of the ember's from Kaz's funeral pire had only just extinguished when Bloom heard the news. Issac and Torr were taken.

After they searched the killed kidnapper, they found the compass; one attuned to the kerbold. Bloom didn't understand any of it.The Wyrd Hunt were targets. Frustrated Bloom headed out. Frustration led to anger, and with his new condition anger, that led to the cravings. The young midian tried his best hide his features and hurried to the diet shop.

Nor did it take very long. Standing at the ship's bow Norin let out a slow sigh. He had hoped they'd be underway by now and the single task he'd been given would be forgotten. It was not to be however, and he'd run out of excuses to avoid the menial labor.

>Begin putting together what is going on.
"Vexing. If I understand what is going on, a Masked Man has marshaled troops from the Salt Flats and invaded the Fenlands discretely, capturing Barthol Mansion and what sounds like a powerful druid named Runa the Green. Using this foothold, this same individual is staging an assault into the heart of the Understairs itself. Thus far, only monsters and Volgon milizens have been targeted. Additionally, one of the men we found bore distinctive markings of the Order. However, given that the Salt Flats was once a large battle between the Order among many other forces, it could potentially be a ruse."
"However, back when we first arrived, the good Doctor at the Shiraiya clinic gave us some useful information. Mendelle was having his people, all Volgons, set up portals 'every 5 floors or so.' Doctor Monkey also informed us that Bellaim Prison is about to sink into the Pnumaether, and Mendelle is doing experiments on anything he can get his hands on. The Pnumaether being a place where if one has the proper tools and a safe route, they can get wherever they need to without a trace. He's also likely accelerated time within the prison to give him the time he needs to perform said experiments."
"And the origin of all of this it seems, was a little project started by Firebrand Bellaim to make the perfect little goose-stepping Volgon, allegedly slain by 'an assassin,' and his ship Kismet that pioneered research into time dialation."
"Unless anyone has anything to add, I believe I know where we should target our efforts going forward..."
>>46190691
"First, we recently received two individuals within our ranks who formerly worked at Barthol Manor. Persade, and Melty I believe? We need them to tell us as much as they can about their former home. If I am correct, it is being used as a staging area for our assailants and perhaps a holding area for captured individuals before being moved to lower floors. That Masked Man is also likely at the Manor."
"Second, if these bagmen are actually of the Order, they are likely pawns. This Masked Man is more than likely a Volgon associate of Mendelle, for I doubt a busy scientist like Mendelle would oversee an operation like this personally. That Masked Man is also likely someone who knows the route they are using to transport their 'goods' through the Pnumaether back to Bellaim. We need that route, which makes him our primary target."
"Lastly, there is a small matter we should press Graves for. Was this Firebrand Bellaim actually assassinated? I suspect that the Masked Man may be our mystery Volgon Officer, brought back from the brink by the wonderful science of our favorite mad Sci-Fax Mendelle. It is a possibility that Bellaim is actually Mendelle himself, but I somehow doubt things are that convenient."
"Ah right and if possible we need to know about Mendelle's, and therefore the Kismet's, time dialation machine. Anything at all."

= House Barthol =
" Ah where to begin... Barthol was the sort of place where human adventurers would end up should they choose to Liaison or find work in the Underside. Never had it been more important specifically for this purpose now that war doth loomed overhead. Bastionne Barthol, you see, was a very egalitarian leader, believing that all creatures did put aside their differences now that the Mal proves to be a common threat but if you believed the Mal to be anything less than a simple phenomenon then to other runner factions it is simply a natural disaster and that they may be spared from if all but the right people were given shelter from it. Of course, Barthol all but proved that even life can exist in the Corridors just by simply living in Fenns and providing for all who would be in need of succor. "
The leaves crunched under the invisible haunt as his disembodied shoes left footprints from the ash.
" A shame , " He remarked, " Barthol is burnt, and our investigations of it while you were gone turned up nothing in and you say that your friends were taken too ? What odd timing, then, that these attacks and yours would be connected. ... Perhaps Ouroborus would know the connections considering that you're holding the Dragon Eater in your holds "
>>46195682
"Dragon Eater? I never heard of it and the Wyrd Hunt possesses it? May I ask you what or who the Dragon Eater is?"
>>46193811
=The Green Connection=
" And of our friend, the Druid ? I would have you look at these woods and think of her for this is her work. Runa the Green is well regarded around here, Between the Mobfords, Grisaiah itself, and House Barthol she was a welcome presence from the overside but not many monsters accepted the fact that a half Human could simply start a new life down here. We were definitely convinced, and Grisaiah was too. And as soon as that happened, someone /definitely/ didn't want her in the picture quite possibly because of her constant efforts to assuage angry mobs everytime they would decide to hunt for humans in Barthol's estate... "
>>46179806
The silver and the bones were melted down to an ink and painstaking effort was used to write over the words. Once dried, the runes successfully became inert and the book had become a blank slate once again !
This was what you wanted to do right ?
> Book of Water became a Blank Book Press. Use it on other book to denature them with Silver runing..
>>46195841
He can't help but take in his surroundings in the new light of information. Someone who wished to keep the peace was removed from that same life they were wishing to protect. Justin strides forward through the ash, some of it coating his boots and the ends of the cloak dangling down from his shoulders. "This is not something I can allow," he announces to himself "If you're still out there, Runa the Green, I hope to find you well and able to pursue whatever dream of peace you may still hold."
The paladin looks up from his path of walking and looks over to the dragon statue before changing his course of direction to the remains of what could be treated an effigy. After a few steps he turns back towards their guide and calls out "What dragon is this statue intended to represent?"
>Make a life goal of finding Runa the Green and seeing them to be safe and sound
>Inquire towards the dragon statue directly.
>>46195965
>> Book of Water became a Blank Book Press. Use it on other book to denature them with Silver runing..
"I wonder, would high level ink on a blank book be more effective than high level ink on a book that's already been written? Especially if you combine it with crystals or bloqs rather than shards?"
>>46195682
Upon hearing the haunt's answer, a feeling of admiration and anger went through the young knight like a wave. Admiration that there was such person who advocated for peace and anger for people who reject that ideal. But there was one thing that stood out to him, the Dragon Eater and its connection to the Wyrd Hunt
"Bastionne Barthol.....he sounded like he was a great man, it was a great shame that such a life was ended early, may his soul rest easy. But, you mentioned a Dragon Eater,? Me or my companions have no knowledge of it and yet it is in the Wyrd Hunt's possession? Very curious, may I ask what or who the Dragon Eater is and its purpose?

and he can even use his Zeal to appease it's somewhat quarrelous spirit. I understand that it's powerful and desirable, but perhaps he can loan it until you can wear it in true one day?
He was mumbling something about "farms" and "barrels" when he left, but maybe suggest it to him if he comes back?
>>46196723
My answer hinges on whether or not I can possess high level armor despite my own relatively low level. The entire reason for this experiment is to see if keeping the Salamander Armor around is worth it or not.
If this experiment proves a failure I have see no reason to miser the armor away and I have no problem with giving it away to someone who can use it long before I can.
However! If it proves a success then I can wear the Salamander Armor after acquiring just one more zeal. I would be loath to give it away if that was the case.

The tides rose an inch today. Dresden knew it. Another foot, and the waters will be brimming with new oceans, new salvage ere long.
" Oy you there ! " Dresden looked out the periscope to find a lone human walking towards him with a gun. " Your vessel I need it for something"
Dresden didn't question it. The man was clearly onto something or on something.
" Right... I don't suppose I can get something out of this later can I ? "
The militia was silent. The creature inside the mariner lurched and forward they went into the water.
" Do you want to listen to some- "
" No."
Some time passes. The Ocean was dark. And what red light the mariner gave off reflected back through the looking glass as realms of /stuff/ floated by, most of them whole structures, very few times creatures so large it moved landscapes. And then they saw it, Pneumaetherean in design was this submerged tunnel and up above was another mariner. Fully functional

Men in gilly suits stretched out as they hefted bodies onto a metal box. it numbered in the dozens not enough to account for all the supposed missing cases but enough to have numbered this recent batch. Without so much as a warning the nautical creature rose from the water and let fly a few legs into the sea of pitch before automatic fire pummeled the lot of them in their centers.
A mans produces a harpoon launcher,
2 shots.
The other swings around a shoulder mounted launcher
1 shot
The rest of them mount some kind of resistance, but the Creature was fast. And the Halfling had toys of his own mostly used for the purposes of towing metals or armor off hard objects. Mostly.
The remaining men donned some manner of box shaped helmets before diving into the water. Setting fire to the metal box as a parting shot.
The fire thermite was thrown in the water, and the metal box was dipped slightly to put out the flames. But the hunters have all gone.
>Torr, and Isaac recovered.

"Okay, I've got this. I just wire the thingy to the widget, put /that/ near the wossname... and then we cross wire that section with this section and voila!"
Trigger tightened the final screw. A nearby hunter decided to slink behind a wall just in time for the demonic powercore to start an audible whine, faint ripples of heat emanating from the housing. Sparks were thrown. The head of the screwdriver in Trigger's paw caught fire. Perhaps wiring the demon-forged power core into the heart of a cursed, flaming gun had been a bad idea.
"Oh bother... Cover! CLEAR THE DEC--"
Eventually a hunter gave the covering kerbold his slightly singed, still smoking rifle and asked him to leave.

Burkhard stalked the deck, he looked at the deck, he was looking for anything left of the dead men but the hellfire had burned them away. Hellfire, not normal fire, he filed that in his mind.
Then he examined the metal boxes and gave one a tentative tap. "M. Boxes" He tried looking for a serial number but the fire had distorted the markings. "Volgon made, can't find the make but I'd recognize this sort anywhere, it's made for live cargo." Behind his eyes, something started counting down.
He walked to the impaled hunter in the deck, the Pike had removed a lot of important organs needed to live so he was very certain he was dead. Everything Trigger relayed to him checked out, the black hood with the unique stitching, the smell of human cooking spices, this was one of the men they were looking for but the chances he could help with their enquires was very slim at this point. He picked up the moonstone necklace and turned to the released hostages.

But I want you know that you are not bound to me by force, if you have a family or friends you long to return to you are free to go. I only ask that say goodbye to me and tell me that you will be safe before we part. I am Runner, as you know life as a Runner is not easy, we often have to look at doom itself on the eyes in our travels. But we can also see many places and wonders others may never witness and we successfully made a difference to the lives of many innocents for the better, despite what rumors and gossip spreads the goal of our run is still to remain as noble as we can make it.
I am a Guide, a healer and protector of the ones in need. We Guides, Navigators and Paladins protect all Runners in our group with our own lives if need be. Our task is not easy and I myself feel that I need a helper, an assistant. Someone close to me whom I can teach and learn from and who can take up my cloak and my wand after my... ...my run ends. And I.... I was hoping... you would be willing to become this person.
I saw... Summoners using their magic to summon other fairies in exchange for crystals. However I don't want you to be bound like that, you are free. I cannot give you crystals but I can offer you a home and my loving companionship. I also saw that the bond between human and fairy can grow into great power and I hope that... in time... I will be worthy of it and our bond that is based on respect, trust and companionship can grow strong become a force of good. I will do my best to learn from you and teach you what I know if you are willing."

" Barthol was a great person ! A guihorn of honorable size ! We helped many humans, and monsters alike fit in in that wonderful home some folks like Runa and Golgo even had their start there as humans. And then through the blessings of Grisaiah, they were reincarnated into the body of a monster ! The great dragon can provide and through her blessings we are offered both food and a new lease at life. Even I was granted such a convenient body even though I was scared that I would fade at first... ah but.. that's kind of my business, don't worry about it. It's a shame though, Runa herself was about to go through a reincarnating ceremony herself when the forest had lit up, and Grisaiah itself was singed with grievous wounds. Oh it's horrible, Grisaiah was taken to the castle to be restored but we're all hoping she doesn't get too mad. Meanwhile no one even cared for Lord Barthol who has disappeared in the Smoke and taken along with all the others.. *sigh* .. if you do have designs to find all these people then.. please please find him if you can ! I know it's not easy to take down someone as great as Lord Barthol !"

All is not lost. They were ascending before I lost connection. Meaning they had reached their destination. I will leave it up to you whether we attempt to track down the place where I lost him.
>>46197768
The truth is out there somewhere. We just have to find it. I know we will. I want to believe. It's a job for a hero. I should probably find someone else to do this job, then. But it's me or LT Burk, and last I saw him he was getting in a boat looking ready to shoot someone.
>Put on Paranormal Inspector's Coat
As for you, Caz, old pal, you've pretty clearly come along way. Proud of ya.
>Finish adjusting rifle, change name to Laughing Caz.
I'd join you all for the feast, but my reserves are extinguished after paying for it and I still need some things to avoid too early a grave. That entire chimera shooting spree sort of dug into my bullet reserves.
>Buy 10 silver bullets
>Buy 3 blood B
>10z remain
Hm...
I wonder when LT Burk will be back from his expedition. He looked sort of intense when he walked out with that assault rifle.
>>46201967
"No I think I have a pretty good guess where he has gone and we are going there anyway. But I'm just... Why? I put myself in danger to save him and Isaac, and he throws himself into danger again! I save him from a kidnapping plot and gets himself kidnapped immediately afterwards!
>Burkhard shakes his head
"He's like his bloody teacher, he has no chill whatsoever"
If only i had an extra pca i would head to the tavern...and probably get hammered.....
>Buy Sparkling Meat
>Join in the feast.
>>46201004
Impressive, I will have to take notes of the results
I am eager to go have a taste of your crops mister Mobford.
>Go eat with the Mobfords
(Do I get to keep the other materials or not?)

>in the dark and musty basement, Oscar looks thoughtfully at the torch
I must say, though this is a useful tool, it may have not been worth my clothes.
I fear I have made somewhat of a poor decision.

>Retrieve Prisoner Clothes from Bank
>Give Clothes to Oscar
Verbal pats the sad looking brief-wearing man on the head and walks him towards the bank.
He retrieves his old set of rogue clothing and hands it over to Oscar.
Verbal shakes his head at the man and waves his index finger at him.
He frowns.

I think we are almost done with the Corridors. We have all the clues we need to track down our friends. We just need to collect them together and bring them to the map maker so we can pick our targets.

(If he's skilled and lucky enough, he could get us a layout and details on force strength before we go in. It's certainly risky but it's his choice and what he brings back can be quite a boon.)

"Know your elements people. I can save your lif-bacon."
>>46207093
That's a little unclear, perhaps color coding the lines of combination elements?
>>46207093
>>46207192
I'm working on a clarity edit right now.
>>46207466
we need it because a lot of the elements are just plain wrong or impossible to tell which they refer too.
The only ones easy to tell are the sound, acid, space ones.

Norin pauses in his work at the question. "I..." His jaw clenches, suddenly unable to continue as he recalls the event. The searing heat. The overwhelming pain. His weight shifts, "...made a miscalculation. A misalignment of the sensors, an an error in the targeting a-algorithm, a a..." For a long moment Norin remains silent, eyes closed, hands clenched tightly to his broom handle, body shaking at the remembered pain. Eventually, with a long exhalation, Noirn returned to a placid calm. "I stood in front of a salamander tank. The results were...unsurprising. The third degree burns covered one hundred percent of my body. By all logic I should have died. Eventually I managed to acquire a skin graft of sorts. It looks and feels real enough, but the important part is it doesn't hurt to turn a screwdriver anymore.
