ALCHEMIST QUEST
You are currently reading a thread in /qst/ - Quests
You are ALCHEMIST THEODORE, and this is your LAB. Soon, your newest concoction will be finished, and those FOOLS who called you crazy will eat up their words. This invention will revolutionize the world as we know it, and you will be hailed as the greatest alchemist in the kingdom.
But first, what was this concoction about again? You are getting really forgetful lately.
>>185820
It's a love/sexpotion to really put the spark back into that dull marriage.
>>185820
A potion of flesh! Flesh will grow on any surface, including spooky bird skulls!
>>185856
This
>>185856
This is pretty creepy shit... LET DO IT!
>>185856
That's gross. Do it.
>>185856
Well, I think we've got our answer.
>>185856
>>185858
>>185892
>>185894
>>185927
Oh right! It is a POTION OF FLESH, it can grow flesh on ALMOST any surface (glass doesn't count since you need it to carry it)! Sure it is kinda gross, but with FLESH growing pretty much anywhere, you can cure serious injuries from people, and even be able to farm it to solve WORLD HUNGER. You truly are a genious.
Oh, there it is! The POTION is finally coming out from the MIXER. In a few minutes, you will have a flask full of it.
But it seems someone is bothering you during this precious moment! Can't they just wait while you do some GOOD for the world?
>>185943
Its the spanish inquisition
>>185943
Open the door and inform them you are very busy with making the world a better place and you have no time to chitchat
>>185953
Oh shit. Please, OP.
>>185943
Peek out through the keyhole.
>>185989
>>185954
>>185953
>>185958
You would do that, but the door breaks down. It is the INQUISITION!
The PRIESTESS enters with the two tall KNIGHTS. She points at you and say you are under arrest because of HERESY.
The KNIGHTS approach you. Why?? Why today when your creation is finally finished?!
>>186016
Quick grab the potion and get out
>>186016
I feel like these people lack flesh.
>>186030
Sounds like the logical decision.
>>186016
Use your recently creation on knights as improvise test subjects.
>>186016
Throw the potion at them
>>186016
Throw a few potions at them.
>>186016
Free test subjects!
>>186016
who wouldnt throw a potion or two at those fellows
>>186030
>>186032
>>186034
>>186038
>>186043
>>186048
>>186054
>>186062
You don't have any other potions right now and you're trapped, but thinking fast, you grab the HALF FULL FLASK OF FLESH POTION and break the tube from the MIXER.
FLESH POTION falls out everywhere, distracting the KNIGHTS and the PRIESTESS to give you time to run.
However it seems they came in prepared, and 3 more KNIGHTS are waiting on the outside of your LAB!
>>186102
More test subjects!
>>186102
>"Don't move or I'll throw this acid! This is oil of vitriol; it'll eat right that armour!"
>>186102
Take off your mask and stun them with how handsome you are
>>186102
I hope we know kung fu... Otherwise we do Benny Hill style.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNBL5OMeuno
Obviously we should combat them in a game of Fisticuffs. 1 on 1.
>>186121
Second
>>186126
You try to scare the KNIGHTS saying the potion will eat through their armor (it is partially true), but they seem not to care about that and slowly approach with their weapons ready.
From behind, the flesh covered KNIGHTS and the PRIESTESS come out from the LAB. They don't seem very happy.
>>186188
Drink potion and become flesh monster
It is time. Show them your Boxing moves you learned from watching Rocky 127 times.
>>186188
Trick the knights that flesh covered knights and priestess are your converted minions. Hopefully it cause them to fight each others.
>>186195
Wouldn't that just fill us with flesh though?
>>186188
Become a test subject!
>>186188
Did we build any secret passages or traps into our lair - uh, our study?
What do we have on our person?
>>186188
remember we have false suicide tablets for this exact situation
>>186236
Then they'll just rob us...
>>186188
Duck and Weave
>>186248
Yeah, let's just do that and escape.
>>186188
Use the smoke bomb/potion you created a long time ago and saved for situations like this and run away while everybody is caught inside a cloud of smoke
>>186210
>>186266
>>186236
Unfortunately you didn't get ready for this situation. You are carrying literally only the FLASK right now.
>>186248
>>186253
The KNIGHTS are blocking all passages, you doubt you can duck and weave your way out of this.
>>186204
>>186195
You are almost sure you will die, but you will give a try anyway. Besides, weirder things have been happening in the world, so you might as well survive and power up! You try to drink the potion using a HIDDEN STRAW on your MASK, but before you can drink any, the potion starts to cover the tip of the MASK in flesh, blocking any more of it.
One of the FLESH COVERED KNIGHTS strike you from behind with a MACE.
You black out.
...
You wake up.
It seems you are now in a CELL. Your POTION and CLOTHES are missing.
What will you do?
>>186296
Call for the prison guard and demand to know why you were accused of heresy. After all, alchemy is a well respected proffesion and you are not involved in the church political games, being an atheist yourself who only believes in science and magic
>>186296
Use the potion of strength that we hid in our bodys "Private" orifices to break out
>>186296
Search the small hole in the bottom left.by any chance you're the same OP who made Priestess quest?
>>186296
investigate the room closelytime for some improv alchemy
>>186296
Look around for potential test subjects.
Examine the papers.
>>186296
Take a look around, see what your cell contains.
>>186303
>>186317
You yell for the guard, or anyone near by. Your voice echoes through the corridors. Looking outside the cell, you see that this place is most likely a PRISON, as the only thing you see are many CELLS that go on and on forever.
Your yell is received with strange noises coming from the cells. Whispers, rattling, and disturbing sounds.
No guards seem to be around at all.
>>186355
>>186310
You look around the room. You find a PLATE with a LOAF OF BREAD on it, an EMPTY PLATE with breadcrumbs, and some PAPERS.
There also seems to be SOMEONE sleeping on top of the BUNKER BED.
>>186308
You investigate the HOLE near the bed. A RAT puts out it's head outside, before running back in.Also yes
>>186335
The papers seem to be only useless junk. Nothing useful.
>>186375
what are the plates made of?
Take the PAPERS and the EMPTY PLATE, and put the LOAF OF BREAD outside the mouse hole.
>>186375
request meeting with the priest. we want to be atone and be blessed
>>186375
What does our roommate look like? Would hate to wake up some gladiator prematurely
>>186380
Porcelain.
>>186381
>>186384
You place the BREAD in front of the mouse hole.
...
This is not what you expected.
You fall back, startled by the weird SNAKE-MOUSE HYBRID.
Suddenly, a bolt of MAGIC rains down on the THING, and kills it.
You look up, and see your CELLMATE. It seems to be a WOMAN, most likely a MAGICIAN by how she killed the monster.
"Who is there?? Show yourself!!"
We need to make up a name, guys. What do we do?
>>186490
Scornburn Periapsis
>>186490
I'm partial to Roland Sennek
>>186486
Tell her that her bag's on backwards, and we're quite obviously out in the open.
>>186490
Roland Trobaum
Majority seems to want the first name "Roland" at least. So we've got that.
>>186490
T.Alchemist.
>>186486
After introducing ourselves take a closer look at the snake/mouse obviously its not the most normal animal.
So, what's our surname?
>>186490
We're already alchemist Theodore, read the OP.
>>186486
>"Hello. I am Theodore."
>>186558
Oh shit, that's right...
So our name is Ted Nolastname.
>>186490
>>186495
>>186500
>>186503
>>186514
>>186515
>>186523
You decide to hide your true name for now, and introduce yourself as ROLAND. The woman introduces herself as MARIAH.
"You have no idea why you were arrested? Just look around. Everyone, everything in this forsaken place has done something the church didn't like.
Instead of killing us right away, they keep us locked in this place, until the day we rot.
You got lucky. Some cells house demons or dangerous animals. The church doesn't care about who or what, they will lock anything that threatens them, be it men, demons, animals or monsters. Me? I won't hurt you. But I have been here for months. There is no hope to escape.
I don't know what you did, but whatever it is was probably not worth of being locked in here.
The Gods have abandoned us."
>>186503
You tell MARIAH that her bag is flipped. She sighs.
"Flipped or not, it doesn't matter to me.
I have no eyes anymore."
>>186584
Bluff and tell her that is too bad since she will not be able to lay her eyes on your beautiful visage, then inquire why she was locked in here.
>>186584
Maybe ask her how she got imprisoned? but try to stay away from the topic of her eyes just out of respect.
>>186592
I see nothing wrong with this,
>>186584
Ask Mariah what she knows about the dungeon.
Then investigate our bunk and mattress; check what the mattress is made of and what's under it. Do we have a toilet bucket?
>>186584
We are going to escape together, and I can create you new eyes
>>186617
Or we could go the two extra holes route.
>>186592
>>186595
>>186598
>>186611
>>186617
You ask MARIAH about how she was imprisioned and what she knows about the dungeon.
She says that from what she can hear, the dungeon is probably a tower. She obviously can't see how it looks like, but she has a general idea from things she heard from other prisioners and from noises. She says that once a day, a lone GUARD goes through every cell and leaves a single LOAF OF BREAD to each prisioner in it.
"How I got here... it is a long story, but let's say I oppossed the church.
They took my eyes and locked me in here."
You feel she doesn't want to talk much about it.
You look around the CELL. There isn't much. The matresses have nothing under it, it seems they are made of a really simple cloth and feathers, like huge pillows.
The only thing resembling a toilet is a hole in the wall, which you assume is a SHOWER. Nothing else.
You just look around once more, trying to notice something you missed.
MARIAH says "It's hopeless.", but you can't shake the feeling that you CAN escape somehow.
As you are lost in thought, SOMETHING comes out of the ground. A DEMON! It shrieks and goes down into the hole it made on the floor.
MARIAH asks "What?! What happened?? Roland, are you there?? What is going on?!"
>>186584
break plate and use to cut self and draw alchemy circles to escape with the help of magicianessnothing bad could possibly happen
>>186681
You know ive heard demon blood is an excellent alchemical reagent.
Break plate into a sharp shard, and jump down the hole with the blind chick.
>>186681
Break off a bit of the bed to use as a club
>>186681
tell her a demon decided to break the floor
>>186681
Also, we should probably look down into the hole BEFORE we jump in so that we dont end up falling several stories
>>186681
>"A demon appeared! It made a hole in the floor."
Then look through the hole.
>>186687
>>186690
That's dumb and only kids would believe in such nonsense. You are an alchemist, not a necromancer.
>>186694
>>186692
>>186695
>>186707
>>186718
You tell MARIAH that a DEMON appeared and broke through the floor. The GODS have no abandoned you yet. She tells you that it is great news, but that you have to check the hole before jumping down. If the DEMON came out of it, obviously it is still there.
You take a look at the HOLE. The ABYSS stares back at you.
You tell MARIAH that even if you two don't go, you will die in this CELL anyway. So it is worth a try. She seems to think for a bit about the situation, and tells you she knows a SLOWFALL spell. She can use that so you can fall slowly through the hole, but she is still concerned about the DEMON.
You break a PLATE and use one of the pieces as a KNIFE. You tell her that you will protect both of you so you can escape together.
You two jump down the hole.
The DEMON seems to be fighting a KNIGHT. However upon close inspection, the KNIGHT seems to be some sort of WEIRD CREATURE wearing armor.
You could try to fall without them noticing, or aid the KNIGHT kill the demon, but you have heard that DEMONS are really resilient.
>>186832
Distract the Demon by throwing your knife at it.
Fuck the knight, let's get out of here.
>>186832
Try to fall without them noticing.
>>186845
The demon's already distracted! AND WHY WOULD YOU GET RID OF OUR KNIFE!?
>>186832
Continue on without interference. It's his battle, and for all intents and purposes we need to leave.
Please don't go with >>186845
We do that and the demon will notice us and attack us, and we'd be without a weapon.
>>186832
RUN NIGGA RUN
>>186856
We have a magical friend. I think.
>>186928
Yes, but she's BLIND!
Ach, typo.
>>186846
>>186851
>>186856
>>186864
>>186869
>>186870
You decide to use this opportunity to sneak behind the DEMON and the KNIGHT-THING. You tell MARIAH to turn towards a huge GATE you see near the bottom.
Once you get through, you lock the SMALLER GATE, leaving both creatures trapped. None of them seemed to notice, busy fighting each other.
You ask MARIAH what was that knight, by describing what you saw.
"What? You don't know about the angels?
They are the church's frontlines. They are inhuman creatures specialized in fighting demons.
From what I heard, angels are the wardens in this dungeon. If that truly was an angel, it is a good thing it didn't see us. It would have killed us for leaving our cell."
You are now in a lower floor, the DEMON CELLS.
>>187002
Well it's good thing we ran, my bad. How deep is that pit with the spikes?
>>187002
alright so definitely get the hell away from the demigod that would want to kill us do we recognize the symbol on the back wall?
Walk around the pit.
>>187002
Ask Mariah if she can use flying magic.
>>187014
The PIT seems to be not too far, you could fall there with SLOWFALL. There is a RIVER running through. The issue are the spiked rocks coming out of it, probably put there to prevent people from jumping in.
>>187028
>>187065
>>187033
This is the CHURCH'S EMBLEM. It represents something, but you are not sure what.
There is also a door ahead.
>>187039
She says she can't, that would be stupid.
Well, the church wants us dead... Let's jump down into the spike pit using slowfall, so we don't get impaled.
>>187119
First peek inside before entering.
>>187119
Peek inside the door.
>>187119
Well lets take a peek through the door and see if its the grand hall or something, with an emblem like that it has to be important.
>>187119
Peek into the door. We may be able to dodge the spikes on the way down, but our blind friend would likely get impaled if we tried. Best to play it safe.
Also, tell your comrade that you're an alchemist and you may be able to work on getting her sight back once you two get out of here.
>>187158
>>187163
>>187135
>>187184
You take a peek through the door to see how the next room is like.
It seems to be a large HALL. There are ANGELS everywhere. They seem to be sleeping.
There is a HUGE DOOR at the end of the hall. It might be the exit.
>>187413
Tell your new friend about what you see.
Tip toe through. Hold your companion's hand while walking through to make sure she doesn't walk in the incorrect direction.
>>187413
Ask Mariah if she can use illusion magic so we could fool them into thinking we are angels and therefore not kill us.
>>187413
Warn Mariah to be quiet and attempt to sneak past. Guide her carefully so that she doesn't fall and make noise.
>>187413
Open the door quietly, ask for mariah to jump with you and cast a slowfall spell so both of you land near the other door in silence.
If you close ur eyes they won't see you that's how hide and seek works
>>187472
This. Mariah's already practically invisible now, just need you to close yours and you two are good to go.
>>187413
SLOWFALL into the pit with Maria in a bridal carry.
>>187433
seconding
>>187528
seconding, it'll be cute
>>187469
>>187462
>>187433
>>187424
You think about going through the hall, but even if you do manage to get to the other side, that door is huge. Opening it without making noise will be next to impossible, and the ANGELS will most likely kill you as soon as they wake up.
You tell MARIAH about the room and ask if she can use any spells that can disguise you, or to make you make no noise.
Unfortunately, she knows no such spells.
>>187528
>>187655
You suggest carrying her and using SLOWFALL to jump into the RIVER, being careful with the rocks.
She nods, saying it is the best course of action.
You carry her and stand in front of the PIT. You take a deep breath before jumping in.
However, as you are about to jump, that ANGEL that was fighting the DEMON managed to open the cell. He notices you.
"WARNING! WARNING! CODE RED! PRISONERS ARE TRYING TO ESCAPE!!"
You can hear the ANGELS in the hall waking up.
>>187680
Get the fuck out of there, if its a river beneath us just turn off the spell and swim like a madman, see if we can get mariah to hold onto us at the same time to avoid getting swept away by the current
>>187699
the river probably isn't very large, so don't turn the spell off
>>187680
jump and fake your death by cutting yourself harshly and doing a deadmans float so the angels leave you alone
>>187680
Speed up slowfall.
>>187699
>>187721
>>187856
>>187779
There is no time for tricks! The ANGELS burst through the door behind you, and you jump. MARIAH casts SLOWFALL, not at a too slow speed but enough to survive.
However, it is still too fast and you can't control how well you are going into the spikes.
--------ROLL A D10 FOR SUCCESS------
Above 7 means you manage to escape without being injuried, otherwise it is for how much you will get injured.
Rolled 10 (1d10)
>>187935
I mean, we don't REALLY need our legs, do we?
>>187943
>>187943
Huh. Well now what?
>>187943
In a stroke of luck, you manage to drop in a place with no spikes. Holding MARIAH close to you, you both sink into the water.
The ANGELS don't give chase. They just watch as you disappear underwater.
Finally you come back. You lost the SACKS underwater, but no matter.
The RIVER's current is too strong, and it ends up carrying you both away from the PRISON TOWER.
You hold MARIAH next to you, but your relief is short.
A huge FISH MAGGOT jumps out of the water.
>>188030
Attempt to mount the fish maggot
>>188030
Respect its personal space and swim around it.
>>188030
Leave the river
>>188030
I'd say punch it in the face but I don't want to get our hand bitten off, try to swim around it and hope the current drags you away fast enough that it loses interest.
>>188030
Try to swim around it.
>>188030
There's no use for combat.
Dodge it. Dodge around it.
>>188030
Ask Mariah to smite it like she did with the mouse-snek.
>>188042
You can't, the side cliffs are too high.
>>188038
>>188062
>>188069
>>188087
You try to swim around the FISH MAGGOT, but it chases you, skipping over the water really fast.
>>188134
MARIAH tells you that she can try to shoot the FISH MAGGOT, but you'd need to direct where it is.
FOR EACH MAGIC ATTACK MARIAH DOES, ROLL A D100 FOR THE ACCURACY OF IT, AND ANOTHER D100 TO SEE IF THE MAGGOT WILL DODGE IT. IF ACCURACY > DODGE, THEN THE ATTACK WILL HIT.
Rolled 84, 22 = 106 (2d100)
>>188154
Hold Mariah's hand all cute like, and point it in the direction of the fish maggot.
Rolling for hits!
Rolled 30, 51 = 81 (2d100)
>>188154
first for accuracy, second for the maggot's dodge.
>>188160
Ooh baby.
Rolled 43, 30 = 73 (2d100)
>>188154
let's do this.
>>188160
First reply consistently best reply
You know, I'm starting to wonder what makes a flesh potion.
>>188160
>>188163
>>188172
You hold MARIAH's wrist, directing her hand to where she should shot the magic.
She fires 3 MAGIC SPHERES, 2 of them hit the FISH MAGGOT head on, while one misses. FISH MAGGOTS aren't too strong so it falls down with those 2 hits.
You and MARIAH resume floating on the river for a few more minutes.
Eventually, you reach a low area where you can leave the river. There seems to be an ABANDONED SHACK here as well.
>>188336
Take refuge in said shack.
>>188336
Approach and inspect its safety to determine if you should go inside.
You must dry off before you get a cold.
>>188336
that symbol on the front... fertility cult?
>>188369only if we had our hyper weapon is strong enough
>>188377that's why we were devloping the potion of flesh!
>>188486
It all makes since now!
>>188336
>sperm shack
Bring her in there and prepare for a bit of bonding. Who knows, it may be your last chance before you both get killed.
>>188342
>>188343
The shack is completely abandoned. It seems to be remains of an ALCHEMY LAB, judging from the equipment on the table.
MARIAH asks if there is another room, you say yes after verifying the door and making sure it is a bedroom. She says that while you have saved her, she will sleep there alone. You understand, and nods. You'll just sleep in this room. It's late, and it would be unwise to be around the RIVER as the CHURCH will most likely patrol it. As soon as morning breaks, you two are leaving for the nearest village.
You are now in the MAIN ROOM of the SHACK. What will you do?
>>188369
>>188565Sorry to disappoint, that's just a crack on the window.
>>188598
Scavenge around in this room for anything useful that may have been left behind.
>>188598
Search for any ingredientsit was fun while it lasted
>>188598
Make a new flesh potion to restore Maria's eyes!
>>188598
Determine whether or not the remains of the lab can still be used.
On the side, see if there are any ingredients left lying around.
>>188598
See if we can find any ingredients. We need to rearm ourselves with stuff like smoke bombs, plague grenades, explosive bombs, and any other offensive/defensive alchemical weapons we can make from the stuff here.
>>188598
Yeah it's looting time.
>>188598
Loot and pack, prepare for daybreak.
are you the guy who did preistess quest? I really enjoyed that one and am glad to see your stuff again
>>188598
Make an invisibility potion for later use if possible.
>>188633
>>188632
>>188651
>>188720
>>188753
>>188791
You examine the ALCHEMY STUFF on the table. It isn't as advanced as your own, but it will do to make something.
You open the drawer nearby, and inside there are a few ingredients:
-A bottle with dried butterflies
-A flask with fire worms
-A box with gunpowder
-A vial of mercury
-A flask of iron powder
-A box with frozen magic needles
-A flask with a weird, glowing mushroom
---------
YOU CAN ONLY MAKE 3 CONCOCTIONS UNTIL DAWNBREAK. YOU CAN MIX UP TO 3 INGREDIENTS FOR EACH.
>>188784Yes I am, this quest is somewhat a sequel to it
>>188813
Try the iron powder and the mushroom, maybe for some sort defensive effect?
>>188813
Gunpowder with fire worms, iron powder with mercury, and magic needles with the mushroom.
>>188813can't wait to see how this all turns out then, the format for how you go about your quests was really cool
>>188813
butterflies, mushroom and fire worms.
seems like a nice combo
>>188864http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/103337/ that should be it
>>188813
Needles mercury and gunpowder seems like it could be decent offense.
>>188887
seconding. mushroom+butterflies+fire worms for dat status effects
>>188813
Create a smoke bomb, a fire bomb, and a flesh potion to help heal her eyes.
>>188986
Unfortunately, the FLESH POTION took too long to create, and this equipment is too simple to make it. You'd need to find a BIGGER LAB and MORE INGREDIENTS to be able to create it.
>>188887
>>188862
>>188864
You end up mixing a few things, and end up creating a FREEZEFIRE BOMB, a UNKNOWN POTION and a FREEZING FRAG. GRENADE.
You put them in a BAG you find in the SHACK. You also put SOME INGREDIENTS in the BAG, like the MERCURY, the NEEDLES and the GUNPOWDER. You also find 32 GOLD COINS in the BAG.
Unfortunately, you have no more time to mix stuff. The sun starts to rise, and MARIAH asks if you are there, and urges for you to leave soon. You tell her that you were just preparing some things, and grab two CLOAKS that were hanging on the wall.
You two leave the SHACK, trying to distance yourselves from the RIVER as fast as you can.
Eventually, you see a TOWN in the distance. MARIAH suggests you to try to find new clothes and something to eat, then try to distance yourselves as far as possible.
Where do you want to go? You can visit:
THE CHURCH (not a good idea)
THE CLOTHING STORE
THE PHARMACY
THE GENERAL STORE
THE INN
-Overview of inventory-
>>188864Be sure to read the side story made by my friend as well, you can find it here http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/114900/
>>189573
>THE PHARMACY
you know, it's possible to make a bomb with medical ingredients
>>189573
We need clothes and food. Hit up the clothing store and then the general store
>>189573
Go to the clothing store. Try to perv on Mariah while she's changing.
>>189573
Clothes. Is Mariah the priestess

Aria could be short for Mariah

>>189585
You decide to go to the clothing store first, you have been wearing these PRISON RAGS for too long, MARIAH must be dying to get rid of them.
You enter the store >>189664
>>189676
I was already in that thread, kek.
>>189676
OH SHIT NIGGA. I WAS PARTICIPATING IN THAT THREAD! OH THIS CROSSOVER THO. FUKKIN GREAT NIGGA.
>>189676
Use our freezing bomb on the cashier and steal as many fine clothes as possible. Also steal the money from the register; it's not like we want to stay in this town long anyways and we're already fugitives with a death sentence on our heads.
>>189578
>>189589
You and MARIAH end up getting some new CLOTHES, some pieces with enchantments. The SEAMSTRESS is nice, and gives you a generous discount. MARIAH says the clothes hug her body a bit too much, but it is much better than the old rags.
You then immediately visit the GENERAL STORE and the PHARMACY. The ENCHANTMENT OF WEALTH helps you get some discounts, but the money you have left isn't that much so you only buy a few supplies:
3 LOAVES OF BREAD
1 PACKET OF SALTY CRACKERS
1 BOTTLE OF WATER
1 MAP OF THE LAND
1 BOTTLE OF ALCHOOL
1 HEALING POTION
1 FIRST AID KIT
With that, you have no more money left.
You and MARIAH leave the town as soon as you can. The sun is still high up, and you should be able to cover some distance. The farther you are from the PRISON TOWER, the better.
The road ahead splits in 3 paths. What will you do?
>>190001
Left is the right path. So therefore we venture left, right?
Rolled 1 (1d3)
>>190001
I'm leaving this up to a dice
1=left, 2=straight, 3 =right
>>190012
I'm good with it.
>>190012
Likewise.
>>190001
check the MAP?
>>190006
>>190011
>>190012
>>190016
>>190018
You decide to head WEST, but MARIAH tells you that walking around "blindly" will just get you caught, or killed. She suggests to check the MAP.
>>190040
You open the MAP you bought from the store.
You are at the RED CIRCLE. The ROADS go where the arrows are pointing.
It seems the NORTH AND WEST path go to the RIVER you were before. MARIAH asks you to say where each direction will go.
NORTH will lead to following the RIVER and end up in a town called BELIA. MARIAH sudders slightly after hearing this.
WEST will lead to the town of SAINTEPER, a holy place where priestesses gather to train. Not a good idea.
EAST will lead to a FOREST, and after it to the CAPITAL. The CAPITAL is also a bad idea since the CHURCH's influence is too great.
You could also go back SOUTH, but that's where the PRISON TOWER is.
SOUTH of the CAPITAL is a town called YURUSSA. It is where your old LAB is located.
To EAST of BELIA is a town called ORNOSSA. It is near the BORDER of the KINGDOM.
Where do you plan on going?
>>190075
Ornossa seems to be the only place without something negative attached to it for us. Let's head there.
>>190082
Seconding this, go to Ornossa.
>>190075
Alright to Ornossa
>>190075
Northward along the road until we reach the upper Bridge, then West onto Ornossa!
>>190082
this,go to Ornossa.
>>190082
>>190097
>>190103
>>190114
>>190116
It's settled then. You shall head to ORNOSSA, and try to leave the country through the BORDER. Hopefully you will make it without getting in the way of the church.
You and MARIAH walk, the roads are uneventful and calm.
Eventually, the sun starts to set. It will still take 2 to 3 days of walking to reach ORNOSSA. MARIAH suggests finding shelter for the night, since creatures may assault you.
You notice some fire in the distance, and some people ahead. It seems to be a CAMP.
What will you do?
>>190224
go to the camp , but try to see if there are any religions people before communicate
>>190224
Snek and scout them before aproaching.. They may be church people!
>>190224
sneak
>>190224
See if you can observe who they are from a distance, best to avoid any soldiers or church goers.
>>190224
remove our sp00ky mask then approach
>>190224
Set up camp next to them, then greet your neighbors.
Run into the camp punching people.
>>190439
don't do this
>>190439
Do this.
>>190463
I am also for not running into a strange camp unprovoked and punching people that may or may not be able to deal great bodily harm to us.
>>190439
Instead of running into the camp and punching people, run into the camp and lick people. Slowly and sensually.
This should curry favor.
>>190224
Sneak over to the camp. If they see us and ask us why we sneaking, respond that we were worried they were bandits.
>>190495
We're an alchemist with a blind girl as a companion. There is nothing cowardly about not doing something stupid for no reason.
>>190238

>>190256
>>190270
>>190375
>>190463
>>190479
>>190497
>>190507
You slowly approach the CAMP. It seems to be an ARMY CAMP. This is good, since the ARMY isn't aligned with the CHURCH, as they have their own ARMY of PALADINS, PRIESTESSES AND ANGELS. The kingdom ARMY is only for patrolling areas and fending off invaders.
You remove your BIRD MASK to not scare off/trigger any suspicion on the SOLDIERS.
One of the SOLDIERS notice you.
"Hey there, travellers! it's dangerous to wander around at night.
Are you heading north? Don't you know about the demon hanging around Belia? That place is completely off limits."
MARIAH seems startled once the SOLDIER mentions BELIA. You wonder if she knows what happened there?
"Either way, the road to Ornossa is still open. You can rest on the camps set up along the road. Just be careful not to stray out, there are lots of Wolf Ducks roaming around lately."
You thank the SOLDIER, and look around the CAMP.
There seems to be a few other SOLDIERS around, and more might be inside the CARTS.
You could rest up for tomorrow on the CARTS or ask around for information.
>>190516
Let's ask for information since we've got the chance, though I'm not quite sure what to ask about.
>>190516
Start punching everyone.
Now let's rob them. Use one of our freezing potions to freeze the angels (The most threatening.) Have our mage friend take out the priestesses, and then drink UNKNOWN POTION.
>>190516
We rest up for tomorrow. We'll sleep in two shifts.
>>190536
Oh, and of course, Punch the PALADINS.
>>190536
>anon in charge of reading
>>190516
Let's ask if there is something we need to avoid on the road to Ornossa.
Then rest.
>>190553
Sounds good to me.
>>190537
Seconding this, we must be sleepy since we spent the night before making the potions.
>>190516>demon
I wonder
>>190616
um demonio cego talvez?
>>190616It's Markus
>>190616
a blind devil perhaps?
wrong language sorry
>>190616
Are you suggesting that Maria's a demon?
>>190630
Who?
>>190516
Ask what is going on in Belia.
>>190516
Hunt for Wolf ducks. You used their gizzards in your flesh potion, they might come in handy in other potions.
>>190530
>>190537
>>190553
>>190554
>>190559
>>190797
You ask one of the SOLDIERS about any dangers to the roads to ORNOSSA. He says that besides the usual pack of WOLF DUCKS, nothing really is happening. Either way, he tells you to be careful, since DEMONS have been popping out almost everywhere these days.
You and MARIAH enter a vacant CART and lay down to sleep. You both have a long day tomorrow.
You, however, are still curious. MARIAH's reactions to BELIA being mentioned were suspicious, and you ask her what she knows about BELIA.
She shudders, but doesn't respond.
Do you press it or drop the matter?
>>190898
Press it, but gently. Make Mariah feel comfortable.Softly stroke her hair to soothe her
>>190898
Drop the matter, she will tell him with time and when it is relevant
>>190898
Press it hard. She has answers and you want them. Use the compensation of using your flesh potion to give her the gift of sight once again as leverage.Also, ask her what her real name is.
>>190898
Drop the matter for now.
>>190907
Voting for this. I don't want to drop it. No fucking way are we going the slow route. What are we, faggot anime protagonists of series that run WAY TOO LONG? Why can't we just have a manly protagonist that isn't indecisive?
>>190898
Tell her you're a big fan of priestess quest :^)
great, so were gonna have to deal with whats left of the protag from deserter quest (took place in belia, ending of quest suggests he turned into a demon)
>>190933
seconding
>>191011
Mind linking deserter quest?
>>191025
>>190933
>>190922
>>190907
You press on the matter, saying that you have been through a lot. You both escaped from the PRISON TOWER, which no one did before. Whatever issues she have, you will be there to support her.

"I... I had a family at Belia... my sister.
We did something wrong. It made the church arrest me and sew my eyes shut."
She pauses for a moment.
"But now... Belia is gone. The demon that appeared there destroyed the entire town.
I doubt my sister survived..."
MARIAH seems to be trying not to cry.
>>191215
Hold her close to you and comfort her. Tell her you're sorry about what happened to her sister and that you really feel for her.
>>191215
>"I'm sorry to hear that. But at least you and I are alive and free."
>>191215
"I see.."
In that case, I'll leave you be, I will always be by your side, I owe you that much after all..."
How do you cry with your eyes sewn shut? Also QM you have a Twitter?
>>191341
>Cry with eyes sewn shut
You still have tear ducts, they roll out and get caught on the stitches before rolling down.
>>191215
Let her have her space
>>191262
>>191306
>>191353
You tell her that you'll always be with her, you escaped together, and you will be able to flee together. She thanks you.
You both go to sleep.
...
You wake up.
