>ask a little about her, what do cute robots do for a living? does she need to go to college or does she learn through some other means? what kind of hobbies does she have? stuff like that

"I'm currently unemployed, but I do volunteer work at Xeno Labs! I take care of the creations and help them learn, I'm somewhat of a comfort bot over there! I did go to college, due to my memory loss before arriving in this world, I had to start from scratch.. My mind and body doesn't allow any connections like that, so I had to learn the old fashion way!"

She thinks for a second before answering the last question

"I don't have any interesting hobbies... I like walking? Seeing the sights is very nice, exploring the world... It's exciting! like.. an adventure!" She smiles

>Is she a unique model or does she have any "family" to speak of?

"I'm unique as in there's only one of me, but I do have a family! A sister named Chip and a brother named Hisker! We all came from a program, a game I think! But we lost all our memories due to some corruption of our code, we don't remember eachother, but we came from the same program, so that makes us family!"

She beams with joy, happy at your question

"What about you? Do you have any family?"

Nothing exciting, fairly nuclear.

Thank you all for following this story this is partially the end of the quest. I am not sure if I would want to do a continuation of it, I am satisfied with how it played out. The only thing that I am maybe willing to do is an epilogue, but that is only if you are interested in seeing additional things.

1060264

It takes around two hours to walk to the town center, taking stops to eat wild berries and enjoy the scenery on the way. The red of dawn has faded away entirely, leaving a solid wash of blue sky. As it's the first of Missing Sun, there's no sun visible above, nor will there be for the rest of this month. Even the sun needs its rest.

There's a bit of activity around the town center. Since it's still early in the morning, most of those up at this hour are setting up activities or conversing. Nobody you've been close with is nearby, but a few craftspeople and foreign traders look to be preparing for the day's trade. A handful of older folk are counting food for the midday feast to celebrate the turning of the month. If you came here last, you'd've loved to join in for some excellent food before you set out, but you don't have the time to wait around. There's a small class for morning exercises a bit further away from the small crowd, and a deacon is gathering water from the well for ceremonies.

All in all, it's an average day for a small religious community. Normal goods will be simple to gather as long as you have the space to carry them; you can just go gather food, clothes, basic supplies, etc. from communal stores. Exceptional things, potentially armor, weapons, or advanced manufactured goods will require a bit more effort in either trade or theft. While you're on a deadline, you still have plenty of time to look around. The question is...

What first?

If you told us about that earlier, then we would’ve suggested coming here last so that you could’ve joined in for the excellent food. So that’s kinda your fault.

Three Young men have set out on a quest. They are each GLORIOUS CHAMPIONS in their own right, but their prior accomplishments count for nothing before the enormity of their task this evening. They must enter THE LANDS OF MEN and claim tribute, and return to their own domain before dawn arrives. Each has been tasked separately to recover an object meeting certain conditions, and while they are a BAND OF HEROES they are each individually responsible for their own retrieval.

The CHAMPIONS are:

MARTLEBY - The leader of the band on a normal night, though tonight each must be a band of their own! Martleby has a POWERFUL and MAJESTIC body, and wields an ancestral power of BOLD ORATORY which can stir the fires in anyone's spirit!

FLICHARD - The mightiest warrior of the three. Flichard has a POWERFUL and MAJESTIC body, and his ancestral power of a FURIOUS CHARGE can topple even the mightiest of trees!

BURRRT - The least heroic of the three CHAMPIONS, Burrrt is nonetheless a steadfast ally who aids the others as a scout. His body is POWERFUL and MAJESTIC, and his ancestral power of INHUMAN DEXTERITY enables him to soar acrobatically through the brush and over the hills!

Each of the three knows the conditions of the tribute they must recover from the human lands, but by ANCIENT TRADITION they are forbidden from telling their companions. But what are these conditions?

Each of MARTLEBY, FLICHARD, AND BURRRT, may have been tasked to acquire one of three classes of tribute! For each one, suggest one of the following.

An EXOTIC TREASURE is a suitable tribute for the upcoming ceremony, and successful retrieval will most likely ensure that their tribute will be accepted and they will not be devoured!

MARTLEBY should tell the sentry that he, too, can become a CHAMPION like MARTLEBY.
If the sentry can prove his respect to the SACRED DUTY, then MARTLEBY would allow the sentry to meet the ARBOREAL SOW and become a MIGHTY CHAMPION.
If the sentry accepts, then MARTLEBY should strip the sentry naked (for GLORIOUS reasons) and let him ride on MARTLEBY's back, while providing assistance to the SACRED DUTY.

As for where to go next, BURRRT should visit the wedding - his dexterity will be necessary to evade the objects thrown at him. I'm sure one of the objects will end up being the divine relic he's looking for. MARTLEBY and FLICHARD should venture towards the CORNFLOWER STATION.

Yeah take along the human, he can help guide the SOW's grooms in this FOREIGN REALM (and if not he'll at least be a useful HOSTAGE). Take a gander in the store first, maybe there's some LESSER ARTEFACTS or useful garbage to be had.

It’s 9PMTD at The Local Locale-a bar you’ve been frequenting for the past 5 years now to both shoot the shit and hangout with friends AND drown your sorrows. And it seems like tonight you’re going to be doing a little bit of both tonight. As you (un)luckily have company tonight. The best thing about this place is that it's one of the most run down places in town, so you two quickly find open seats for yourselves with no one next to them. The barkeep has already put down your drink (Some cheap brown beer…at least you hope that’s what it is) since it’s what you order every night, while your friend (despite also knowing the menu like the back of their hand) stares at it as if he’s looking at map in a town she has never been before.

Two lone mercenaries, lost in an unknown galaxy far from home, slowly drifts towards a smaller mining colony on the edge of the sector, a long way from anything of note. They were part of colony fleet that would do the impossible, FTL jumping to completely different galaxy, but something went very wrong… and now they are stranded all on their own. Their ship is barely holding together, as the wounds they received fleeing from the last planet as outlaws takes their toll, forcing them to land on the planet before them, for better or for worse…

Kicker, a herreras and a claw captain of the 557th squadron of the great Mountain's grand army, deadpanned. Lowtail, herreras and claw on-field medic, grinned at Kicker.
“A group photo.” She said, crossing her arms. “You know we'll have to burn it, right?”
“It'll stay here.” Lowtail poked his head. “This is the furthest we've ever been from the mountains, and it's not like we're doing anything else.”
As he said that Snapper, a feather, landed near them and picked up a bag. They were about to cross a very rickety bridge over a very deep creek, and nobody trusted the bridge to bear the weight of their equipment so Snapper was flying it across beforehand.
They'd been marching counterrootways for ten days and then ten more now, tailed by a tooth unit, under strict orders to avoid being sighted (Or, failing that, deal with anyone who saw them) and to signal the tooth of anyone who might see him. Kicker hugged herself a little tighter. “Fine. But we burn it.”
“And you have to be in it.” Added Lowtail.
Kicker grunted under her breath.

Scraptooth laid, bored, on the ground, oblivious to the… thing silently coming out of the sand behind him. “Captain.” He saluted. “What's with the look?”

You are Xhochinetilli, Princess of the Land of the Dead, Lady of Bones and Flowers, Serpent of Wine and Dances, The skin taker and Joy bringer.

And right now your bored as fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Youd think a party boat in the middle of the circle sea would be a exciting thing, and normally you would be right, but this is a Official Diplomatic Party, full of Official Fun, Polite Conversation and Important Government Talk

Why do they invite you to these things? You are the literal manifestation of irresponsible partying (and flaying people for some reason) its in your very nature to get everyone screaming drunk and cause international scandals! This is torture!


You sigh and drain the last of your wine, looking out over the deck in the hopes that something catches your eye

bets on this being the only one that has reappeared/reactivated vs the whole network somehow coming back?

Not sure what'd be worse, the exact same thing happening all over again or there being just one macguffin tower to fight over.

That said, maybe everyone will have learned a bit of a lesson considering the towers got yoinked once and presumably can be again?

Sea people message read loud and clear 'oi assholes, that meeting suggests you might be trustworthy this time, don't fuck it up again!'

alternatively the Dreamer was bored of things calming down and has chosen maximum shenanigans, hence us all meeting here right as this happens

Man, I love me some story time.

Now get on over there to investigate why it's back, baby! For... reasons. For one, while you're (still) flight-capable, so you might be able to inspect and enter it further up than anyone, say, arriving by boat could, so that's an arguable advantage of sorts.

Also, for seeking to return it to the depths for everyone's peace of mind. And for you guys going on a hopefully cool adventure, away from sure-to-be-overbearing-after-this-minders. Maybe even for a rare shot at Sidah getting out from under her nation's dummy thicc thumb. Do the Sea People have an asylum policy? I betchu they'd be tough to sanction!

One wonders what reason there be for the tower's return, though. Maybe 'Oops, someone pressed the wrong ancient magic button and we don't know how to undo it yet, but we're totally gonna!'? If you figure it's something like that and get back to the other diplomats, maybe you'll be able to avert a(nother) pointless mess, too.

... say, is there some manner of connection between this being a Spiral Glass tower and you having Spiral Glass wings, Xhochinetilli? Did the Land of the Dead inherit some of the magic knowledge of the Sea People? Or secure a few of the remaining scraps of glass?

Well, the good news is that people know how the Sea People reacted last time when the power was abused. So they won't do it (as much) this time. The most reasonable people will probably draw up laws and regulations on magic use and try to reach an international agreement so there isn't a war over simply the use of magic. As for the bloodthirsty, that is handled by an alliance between the nations that agree on how magic is to be used.

I wonder if we can push things towards that result? Let's land on the boat and start talking to all the important people there.

People... can't handle being given things they don't understand. Only those who are empty inside have the space in their beliefs to stuff a dangerous sandbox of chaotic and unknown potential into their hearts and channel it through their claws. That's what the Sea People failed to comprehend.
Or, perhaps, they knew all too well.

>Take the tower, destroy it, or leave?
Press forward. You are, first and foremost, a ruler / civil servant of the nation of the dead. Your duty is to claim this power. Your responsibility is to learn its secrets, comprehend how it works, and ultimately reverse-engineer enough that you and your people can build new technologies and forge new paths for your nation.
You don't need the tower. You need the answers to questions which have generated lies through their mere existence.
If this tower and your powers co-align according to 'the plot', fly to the top and land there. I've seen a dungeon made of a tower. You start at the top and try to reach the core at the bottom. Fighting's the main game, but your priority is to survive. Run, innovate, go crazy, whatever you need to keep yourself moving down.

I think you should check up on Sally, and possibly ask her if she's seen any books around the house written by Nelson. I'm thinking, a warlock such as Nelson probably would've kept notes on the experiments and spell that he was working on, so perhaps there's a way to understand how it works or what you might be getting into down below.

“…So, why are we making this again?” The green stickman said to, honestly no one in particular. Just a habit of thinking out loud. Something he should probably get rid of if he’s now going to be working here.

The black stockmen adjacent to him lets out a short, but extremely exasperated sigh, the type you do after getting asked the same question for the four-hundredth time (even though this is the first time being asked) “It doesn’t have a purpose-at least not yet anyways.” He continues to write on his board. Noting down subject’s vitals (stable), mental action (None so fair(same as yesterday)), any changes in body (also none(it appears the subject has reached “maturity”)) and…dick size…he once again leaves that part blank.

“You think it’s a …you know?” He replies before black even has a chance to answer, “A living sex toy?”

The mere thought stings black’s mind, “No. it is not a “living sex toy”. It is probably going to be some soldier or slave race they’re making.” He talked like a stern parent denying a kid wanting to go to McDonalds.

Green is quite a bit taken back by this response, “You…you actually want them to be something like that?”

Black once again sighs for the same reason in somehow more exasperated tone, “Yes, yes I do.” He sounds even more annoyed than before, “Because if you’d just used your brain for one second, you’ll realize that we’re SCIENTISTS! Not some…some over glorified sex sells men!”

“I know I know! I was just saying it’s a little weird how there’s no other protective measures! I mean, no turrets, lock down doors, not even harder glas-“

“No you don’t know!” Black is just actively yelling at Green now. Green definitely didn’t deserve this-and Black knows. He’s just venting at him because of all the mouths and late nights and failures and miscommunications thAT WOULD

He sighs again, and sits down. “Kid… you’ve got a special talent for getting into trouble, you know that?” He takes out a cigarette and it seems to light on its own. “An invitation, eh? I guess I can’t get too angry at you for that. Listen… you need to be careful in there. Don’t sign anything other than the entrance documentation, don’t accept any verbal contracts, tell them you’re only there to sell a safe amount of your blood for this one time, and then leave as soon as you can.

Dimensional portal winks out. Thunderclap of unraveling tidal force shatters the surrounding stone wall. You're stranded in a cavernous space full of ancient, semi-functional machinery. Can you find another way home?

Core of character creation is an adjective, a noun, and a verb.

Noun options:
Arkus (leader)
Delve (explorer)
Jack (rogue)
Glaive (fighter)
Nano (mage)
Wright (builder)

For adjective and verb, describe what you want to be and do, I'll compile a short list of the relevant options.

They call themselves 'Spurn,' and live not very far away - less than a day's walk for you, though they're far slower when not sacrificing body mass to teleport. Their border fort is inside a chamber in the shape of a vertical cylinder about a quarter mile wide, tarry swamp riddled with jagged metal fills the floor to some unknown depth, thirty meter long spike descending from the center of the ceiling shoots level 8 lightning at any non-Spurn who enters, up to ten bolts per round. Mosaic on the tunnel wall leading there says "We Considered Ourselves To Be A Powerful Culture."

Situation has been de-escalated for the moment, surviving raiders have departed back the way they came, but longer term you're still effectively caught in the middle of a slow, bitter war between the Spurn and the Margyr, neither of whom seem to recognize your employer as anything but ancient myth.

Huh. Might be interesting to experiment with... if we had any spare footwear to risk. The potential unpleasantness of exploring an ancient installation in bare feet outweighs curiosity, for the moment.

>Arrow zips through the archway before the articulated arms can catch it.
A tendril of dark matter snakes down from above the arch and picks the fallen arrow off the floor. Melania can return that to Ivori!

>What do
Melania is going to (carefully) climb down on the far side of the arch (the same direction Ivori and the arrow came from) to continue exploration in that direction. (Which puts everyone but DANI on the same side of the arch, but the android can safely cross the easiest).

Once on the ground, the nano turns and addresses DANI. "Thank you for coming to my defense! I, uh, apologize for the poorly-aimed shadowbolt."

Alright then, available avenues for further exploration, assuming you're staying away from Margyr or Spurn territory...

-Continuing from the arch straight through the four-way intersection, there's a plain hallway, several hundred meters long at least. Unlit, but seems fairly clean and tidy, contrasted with occasional side alcoves or scattered debris along the Spurn's line of retreat. Thin coating of wax on the floor.

-Cavernous starting area continues, but the catwalks don't - you'd need to climb along the walls or ceiling, fly, or build something that can float on the liquid metal.

-Could double back to poke at the "lair of fogbox cat, no-eyed deer," or the hole that fungal mass erupted from. Presumably after preparing somehow for the dangers involved.

After thanking DANI, Melaina returns Ivori's arrow (assuming Ivori isn't hiding again) and heads down the hall, catching up with Misha at gravity inverter. She's a little surprised Misha and the Mycelimancer made it all around in front of them and managed a surgery and tea-time in the interim.

That makes the empty room beyond it (18 meter wide, 4 meter high hexagon with no other apparent exits) a potentially useful - albeit inconvenient - storage area or defensive position, since it'll be easy to haul heavy stuff in or out during low-G periods, but a nigh-impassable cliff the rest of the time.
Have we managed to figure out how long until the next inversion from the countdown display? It's useful that we'll have an hour's warning when it starts to kick off, but for longer-term planning it might be useful to know if we're expected that today or next week. Understanding numenera, I'd assume. If Misha's willing to help now that she's done her surgery, could get +1 on the roll. And/or figuring out the schedule could be worth investing a half-hour with Silmarillion cross-referencing. Could also give the group a chance to discus recent discoveries and decide on next actions.

(As another possible thing to look into: DANI's heavy crossbow is also still damaged, I believe. We should keep an eye out for stuff that could be used for repairs!)

As the minor additional effect from that 19, you can shift the timing of the next flip - delaying it up to a week, or starting it immediately and then ensuring that the return cycle will be available after you've had a chance to rest but before you run out of food.
