Imani regains consciousness in a strange room. There is not very much in here.

He appears to have been relieved of his equipment.

Inspect box.

Inspect box and blanket-looking thing.

examine the FUCK out of the room.

Imani checks the box, and it appears to be empty. It looks kind of dusty inside, which is strange because the rest of the room is clean.

Okay this is going to sound like a silly idea. But is there anything under or behind the box?

He hears someone call out from the other side.

>What are you doing here?

tell the voice your quest.

>>237510
You're not exactly sure how you wound up in here specifically, but you're in this area because you're trying to find a dragon to ask for help saving your village from a plague.

>>237510
Tell them you're trying to get a boon from the dragon so that it may help your village overcome the disease plaguing it.

Right now we're looking for Pitchbloom and Malgur honey.

Imani attempts to explain his situation to his apparent captor. He says that there was a plague in his village, and he is seeking the dragon to find a cure for it. He asks about pitchbloom, and about Malgur Honey.

The door opens and his assailant from earlier enters the room.

>There is no dragon here, nor is there any cure for you. There is no Honey and there is no pitchbloom. There is nothing here, now.

>>239849
Ask him why he captured you.

>>239857

Hmmmmm. Being alone here has got to be kind of unhappy. Dunno what an appropriate gesture of sympathy is, though.

If she's got the key, you've not exactly given her a great reason to give it to you. :/

Ask where the key is, and if it's something she does in fact have, if there's anything you could do for her to make up for snooping in the house.

Also ask about this Furo character. If they're not dead, I have a slight feeling we may run into them at some point. (Or maybe not. But it never hurt to ask anyway!)

Can we go now

She is cute in an angry sort of way. Ask if the plague is distressing her too much and if she wants a hug for comfort.

>>239896

Imani considers whether to go to the Swamp or to go back to the outer edge of the world.

>>239900
"I'm going to look anyway. I'm not going to stop just because awesome mcCoolguy decided to start. I have to do something."

Let's go to the outer edge first, that seems like it will be the more easily retrievable of the two.

>>239900
Ask her whether the swamp or outer edge is closer. And tell her you don't need to beat Furo. Actually, it'd be worth it just to follow in his footsteps, really.

And hey, Mipo sounds a bit full of herself, maybe, but she's also actually said she's willing to help you. So points for her for that.

>>239900
I'm betting that the swamp is closer. Besides, we don't really want to have to backtrack.

Oh, ask if there's any high quality crystals around that she's seen.

Yeah, you should definitely ask Mipo about it. You don't want to have accidentally stolen something!

>>240031
That looks like the fundamite that was in that house. Thank her for it.

Hm... well we have a bag to stick it in now! We should leave it inside it rather then blowing it on an item right away. Never know what we might need, better to forge it into something to solve a problem when yonder problem presents itself.

Our grapple works for most mobility issues and we seem to be a bit of a pansy as far as fightahin goes so I'm not sure how practical a real weapon would be...

Uh.. on that note Imani any combat skills? At all? Know how to handle a bow? Not that I think we'll need them much! This is more practical problem solving quest me thinks.

Imani has never been in a real fight, unless you count getting smacked upside the head by Mipo earlier. He has never learned how to use a bow, but used to throw rocks when he was younger when playing games with the other children.

>>240066
Alright then!

I'm saying you should definitely hold onto it for now, until we can think of a practical use for it.

I think a utility knife would be the best use, for now.

You can always make something out of it later, just keep going.

Indeed, save it and follow to the swamp

>>240066
Maybe you should make a staff or a walking stick? It's simple and handy both in and out of combat; plus I don't think Mipo would react very well if we started sporting lethal weapons around her. Or maybe you should just keep it for now.

>>240197
Oooh I like this idea!

>>240197
While I do like this idea, I still say we should hold onto it for now.

How big of an item can we make from dense fundamite?

Just hold on to it until you really need a specific tool of some sort.

By the way, if we do eventually need to make a weapon, I'd say a bow, sling, or other ranged weapon would be best; Imani seems to be a bit too... small to take out most creatures in close combat.

>>240228
Sling. Bows actually require a fair bit of strength for a good pull, and you need to make ammo for them specific. You can just pick up any rock for a sling, so long as it's roughly spherical. And once you get the knack for it those rocks can go FAST.

Hi I'm just popping in to note that the hero that went out beforehand to find the cure is HER FATHER.

Imani can make a pretty big item out of the dense fundamite if he doesn't care how sturdy it is. If he makes something about the size of his grappling spike out of it it will probably be almost unbreakable.

Imani decides to hold on to the dense fundamite for now, it might be valuable later.

He hurries after Mipo, who appears to be waiting impatiently.

Unless you think you can knock it down easily, let's continue on.

Continuing to request the dense stuff be used for a sharp utility knife, possibly with a spike on the end for climbing purposes? Can you craft and walk at the same time?

Throw your grappling spear at it and pull hard, receive fundamite. Then follow her.

Imani needs to concentrate to do any sort of detail with his shaping. He can shape while he moves, but if he doesn't stop and focus on what he's doing the result probably won't be very good!

I mean, you do totally have a grappling spear and all.

You could... maybe tell Mipo what you're doing, since she seems the type to complain at you otherwise.

>"There's supposed to be a rope ladder here, but it's gone now. This is the way to the swamp, but I can't jump high enough to get up there."

What's cindergrass, it's like, regular grass or does it have any special properties?

Also there seems to be a piece of wood hanging from some sticky substance in the ceiling, see if you can identify it from here.

>>278217
Hrmmmmm.

You can presumably get up there with your grapply-thingy, but I don't think that'll work for her...

Hmm. I'm also gonna say "examine log" for now.

>>278220

Cindergrass is a type of grass that grows full of fire essence. If you're very slow and careful you can pick it or walk through it, but if you jostle it roughly it bursts open and sprays out hot cinders. It probably wouldn't cause you any permanent damage unless you fell into a lot of it, but it hurts a lot.

>>278225

The log appears to be stuck up there by some sort of slime.

>"A malgur did that. They can spit out this really sticky slime and make this thread stuff out of it. They use it to make their nests."

>>278237

Imani isn't sure!

>>278243
Hm.

I wonder. If you could knock the log down and prop it up against the wall, would Mipo be able to get up that way?

Is there a way to extract some cindergrass without it exploding in your face? Portable, instant fire sounds like a useful thing to have.

Also throw your grapple spear at the log, then pull. Maybe we can get the sticky thing and make a rope out of it.

Before that, ask Mipo to step aside, b4 log to the face.

Apply grapple to ledge, then climb up and help her up.

maybe!

>>278248

You can probably do it, but you've filled your bag with the fundamite and trying to wedge the grass in around it will probably tear the grass.

Unfortunately, when you toss your grappling spike at the log it appears to fall just short! You can't throw it high enough!

>>278265

Your grapple can't dig into the ledge with enough force to actually hold weight.

It sticks, but immediately pulls back out when you tug on it!

With the fundamite you've found, turn your spear into a hook. That way you can hook the log, and also hook the tree on the ledge.

It will also give us spare inventory space to get the cindergrass.

>>278280
Turn the spear into a hook with a spear end still on it, rather.

Ask Mipo if that's a malgur and if they are resistant to fire. If they aren't, you can try carefully picking up some cindergrass and chucking it at its head. At the least it could make it want to back off.

That mass of ... something in the corner doesn't really look similar to the slime from the log.

>>278348

>"Yes, that's a Malgur. And it appears to be eating the damn ladder!"

The Malgur backs away at all of the noise that Imani and Mipo are making.

Make loud whooping sounds and approach the mass in the corner to check it out.

>>278362
Ask her if Malgur are dangerous, then begin climbing after it.

>>278362
Make less noise so we can go smack it, causing it to let go of the ladder.

Imani carefully makes his way across the patch of cindergrass.

Whatever it is that's filling that path way is really gross. It almost looks like some sort of ... infection? It looks fleshy and is oozing some sort of foul-smelling pus.

Well you know the only right thing to do with an infection is to throw cindergrass at it and set it on fire.

Make a bow. Then you can make a grappling arrow. Hopefully, you'd then be able to reach higher places. It can wait until later, I suppose.

Imani carefully plucks some cindergrass and tosses it at the mass of ... infection?

It seems to catch fire but as it burns out it doesn't look like the fire has managed to make it any smaller.

Pluck more cindergrass, find some wood, and bonfire that abominable membrane.

>>278446
>Wood
Think your manly arms can handle grappling that log from before up here? Mipo could hold it with one arm after all.

Imani starts heading back to try to retrieve the log.

>'What are you doing?'

>>278459

"I am attempting to set fire to that gross-looking membrane. It blocks my progress."

"I was going to grab that log from before to try and bonfire through that membrane blocking our way, unless you have a better plan?"

We should ask what that stuff is.

I don't think a bonfire with one log is going to do shit to that stuff, sorry.

I'm voting for going with Mipo.

Fine, fine. Go with Mipo.

But swear an enmity on the mucous membrane that YOU WILL RETURN TO DESTORY IT.

Go up!

>'I doubt there's really any treasure at the old temple. Even if there is, it wouldn't be right to steal it.'

Imani decides to head up toward the swamp with Mipo. She gives him a boost up onto the tree, and even though it seems pretty flimsy it appears the canopy is strong enough to support his meager weight.

See if you can jump or grapple your way up.

>>293800
toss grapplan spike up to that ledge, make sure it's securely rooted, and then dangle rope down for Mipo.

A quick hop is all it take for Imani to get to the ledge above!

uh oh, large insect looking thing above you. unknown if dangerous.

Is that more slime hanging from the ceiling? See if you can grapple and grab some, check for consistency and see if it can be use for something, like an improvised rope.

Imani isn't sure how well he could grapple something that is free-hanging, but after walking past the rockshrooms he is able to jump up and grab onto what appears to be some sort of strange, gross-feeling vine dangling from the ceiling!

It's a bit too slippery for him to climb up, but he can hang onto it okay and it appears to support his weight.

Dangle down your rope for Mipo to grab so you can pull her up.

That was a lot harder than Imani thought it would be.

>'Thanks. Dammit, it looks like that stupid Malgur ate the bridge up here, too. It's going to be pretty hard to get around the swamp if it ate everything.'

rest a moment then see of you can grapple the tree.

Ok, you could try to grapple to the diamond-shaped rock over you, and from there grapple to the ledge to the left. Then you could go up and actually check if the Malgur ate all the bridge or if he's keeping some to make a nest or something.

Oh and ask Mipo if Malgurs are dangerous (if you don't know yourself.)

>>293832
Climb up the vine thing then grapple onto the tree.

Imani can already tell that the tree is out of reach, and as frail as those trees are he thinks that it's a bad idea to throw a spike into them if he wants to use them to climb.



>>293839

That isn't a rock, it's just a hole in the background!

>'Malgur aren't really dangerous, they're big and strong but they don't have a lot of weight behind them. They aren't very aggressive, either. They're more likely to run away than try to fight, and don't usually even try to fight when cornered.

>>293844

Unfortunately, Imani still can't get a good enough grip on the vine to climb it!

ask for a boost. once you can use your leg's too you should be able to climb.

A boost sounds good.

Make sure she doesn't peek up your robe, though.

With a boost from Mipo, Imani is able to get enough of a grip to climb the vine! He leans out to toss the Grappling spike; and although it is a long distance, he manages to get it to stick into the old bridge post!

On the plus side, at least, Imani is pretty sure that the spike is solidly lodged in the post.

>'Uh, did you mean to do that?'

yes you meant to swing, you just didn't stick the landing.

anyway, climb up and make the spike more secure, then swing the rope over to Mipo

>>293955
Give her a big thumbs up and climb on up, then try throwing her the rope.

>>293964
I can agree with this.

She's going to have to climb up the vine like you did, I think.

Yes, you totally did. You always land face first against cliffs you want to climb up.

Go up, make sure the spike is still solidly stuck in the post and throw her the other end of the rope.

Imani climbs up the rope, and makes sure that the spike is a bit more securely stuck in the post.

However, the rope doesn't go out far enough to throw it to Mipo! Instead, she takes a running jump and catches on to it.

Mipo climbs the rope.

Pose as a team! Or continue.

Onwards!

Hmm. Ask Mipo what her chances would be of killing the bug.

She said that the bugs often don't even fight back when cornered, so killing it shouldn't be much of a problem if we end up needing to. We want to go after that Malgur for its honey, but these trees are pretty flimsy, let's check over to the left to see if there's anything useful.
For the record, our inventory consists of Silly Spiked Palm band, grappling spike, big hunk of normal fundamite, and some dense fundamite. If need be, we could try using some of the fundamite to make our grappling spike a grappling hook in order to get over to the Malgur.
