"I see a big bird in the road"
my whole body hurts, I shouldn't have told her to say every little thing she comes across on the road. At least last time it was a stream.

"How big is it, big for a bird or compared to us? Either way don't hit it."

is it yellow

>>489855
Yeah, don't hit it.

How big is it, give more of a description... what is it doing? Maybe stop to look at it.

>>489863
Don't stop, since this could be a trap, but do slow down enough that Jirri can describe it in greater detail before reaching it. A good starting question would be if it's alive or dead. It could be rather large roadkill.

Didn't Trip lose his left eye last chapter, and not his right?

yes, I fucked it up

"How big is it? Is it yellow? What is it doing?"
"It's as big as a grown-up, and yeah, it's yellow, and shiny. It looks like it's messing with an old wagon on the side of the road. "

I try to look out the window, but I can't really focus on anything and it's all blurry. I think I can make out a wagon, though? Hopefully this isn't some kind of monster. Should we ignore it, hit it, or stop? We are going pretty slow already because Jirri doesn't really know how to drive.

>>490122
Let's... stop. Get a gun out just in case, but jirri can ask what they're doing. Maybe the wagon's busted or something... maybe we could fix it?

yeah stop.

>>490122
Chance it. How could things possibly get any worse?

Stop, but do it by rolling up gently bumping the bird to get it out of the way, then parking close next to the wagon. That way nobody can see you get out unless they're right ahead or behind on the road. Get out on the wagon side with Jirri, and have your pistol out.

runn it over, keep going.

Oh crap! What is that? It's some giant armored bird! What should I do?
"Are you losst, child? Aren't you too young to be driving?"
It's speaking the goblins' language, where could it have learned that?
"Uhh, y-yes, I uhh..."

Oh crap I don't know what to do. I have my gun ready though!

>>493712
It appears to be friendly. Speak up, and explain that it's the only way you could travel, in your condition. Ask what the heck it is, and what it's doing with the wagon. Is the wagon broken?

Don't point your gun directly at it or at Jirri.

Okay, do NOT shoot the big, armored bird-creature. Your little pea-shooter won't do jack against that, and would just end up making it hostile to you. Holster your pistol for now, so you don't immediately appear hostile to it, or holding Jirri at gun-point.

The bird-creature appears neutral to sergals, at least, so you just have to find out if it's hostile to kobolds. Stay hidden behind the seat from the bird-creature and speak up enough to ask it how it'd react to a kobold that defected to get away from the war.

It'll probably move to the smaller window over you to look in, so move away from that window as it does, so you're out of its reach if it does attack. As you do, whisper to Jirri to be ready to speed away if things go bad.

Does Jirri know the goblin's language? 'Cause if she doesn't, then there's something really odd going on here if she understood what the bird-creature said.

"We are traveling, and in need of rest. Who are you?"
"My name is Arora, I am a surgeon and Purifier. I can provide you medical services, but I will need some information in return. I have suspicions of where you come from."
"Otherwise there is a fork in the road ahead, the right path will take you to the city of Northpole, and the left will bring you to a goblin village that I frequent to ply my trade. They each have competent enough doctors, but only of purely physical means."

I don't know about this guy, or whatever it is. It's almost like some kind of mechanical skeleton. The green fire in its eyes manages to make me feel like it's staring directly at me but I can't quite say how. Not shooting this thing was probably a good idea.

>>495800
You are in need of medical attention. An exchange like this is in our favor, especially since you've basically deserted the army.

Yeah, go for it. See if you can get him to tell us some more about his history while you're at it.

...ask exactly what Purifier is before we agree to his terms though. He seems to imply that it is a form of non-physical doctor?

You're in a bad way, but you'll need a little convincing to accept road-side surgery from a creepy metal bird creature. Not a whole lot with the way your body is feeling, but some.

Ask Arora what he (she? it?) can do for you that those other doctors cannot, then ask what kind of information he wants in return for such treatment. It may be the price will turn out too high for your liking.

Ask how far it is to either of those destinations, and if he is heading towards either one of them. You'd prefer to visit the goblin village to ask if Arora is legit before taking up this deal, but if he's going back the way you came then you'll have to take it or leave it now. You may have to take it anyway if you don't think you'll make it alive to either of those settlements.

"uh mister?"
"miss."
"Miss Arora, how far are the towns from here?"
"Half a day's travel if you are going fast, twice that normally."
"Ok, uhh, what is a purifier, and what do you need to know from me?"

"We seek transcendence of self through knowledge and the Machine. For one such as you to understand, you would have to give up the knowledge given to you from your foul god, but it is technically possible to induct anyone."

Is she talking about the Lord of Marvels? He is the one that gave us power, but I haven't been the most faithful worshiper, but he's a good god, who gave us the gift of understanding and industry.

"Well, uh, what kind of information would you like? I deserted from the army, is that it? Is this different from normal doctor work?"

"I would require all you know of the direction and distribution of your forces in this area, so that I may warn the appropriate parties of the danger. And yes, Purification allows self realization and transcendence through progressive replacement of the body. It is not 'doctoring' and only for the initiated."

On one hand, I don't want to betray the people I know in the army, even though I can never go back, but on the other hand I really need some medical care. This purification thing sounds scary, and I might have to give up my memories or something.

>>496624
You might have friends in the army, but does that really mean you don't want the army as a whole to stop what it's doing? Principles over loyalty to people doing ill.

Purification does sound scary, but this guy doesn't seem like a recruiter. If anything, it's good to know he's certainly a capable surgeon.

>>496624
Purification seems like bad news.

How about you tell her about the army distribution that doesn't hold your friends?

Purification just means replacing your body parts with mechanical versions. Eventually you replace the whole thing and you're enlightened like bird lady here.

>>496624
You've always wanted to be both a cyborg and a traitor to your own kind, right?

You know some people in that army. This is true. But that army would kill you if it ever caught up with you. It'd kill you, and it'd kill Jiri, and you won't let that happen. You can't let them catch up. Not before you both get to safety, wherever that might be.

And it's not just that; You need medical treatment right now. You have no idea how badly injured you are inside. You may not even have time to get to another doctor before something goes "pop" inside and you bleed out. You need Arora's skill right now.

Tell Arora what she wants to know. Get out your map and show her too. Maybe with that knowledge the "appropriate parties" can keep the army away, and with medical treatment you'll live to get Jiri and yourself far, far away from it.

Also, as long as you're telling Arora about dangers and pointing them out on the map, point to where that abandoned farmhouse where you were injured is, and tell her of your experience with the creature in it. Ask her if she knows what that creature is, just so you know what kind of danger you and Jiri were in.

As for "Purification...?" No. Even if it would give you a replacement for your lost eye, to let a stranger alter your memories and mind, the very basis of "you," is a danger too great. Maybe one day, once you know more about Purification and those like Arora, but not today.

Actually, hell, ask if she can do anything about the eye.

Ask if she knows of any safe places for you and Jiri to rest and think about all that's happened. You guys deserve a break!

...maybe just a new eye?

Follow the path of technological transcendence please. The first step could be a cool eye replacement.

drive townways.

The headache might be from hunger and dehydration. When was the last time either of you ate or drank anything, anyway?

Check your wounds; How well were they treated? Also check your memories as best you can for any holes. What do you remember from yesterday?

The goblins probably won't take kindly to the sight of you, so head to Northpole. There'll be more sources of work and information there. At the very least it'll have a gas station so you can fill up the car to continue if need be.

Check your inventory, get dressed and move to the front to take over driving. Jirri could do it, but that'd take half the day.

I don't know anything about either of these places. What's weird is that my compass is pointing almost due west instead of north like it should be. That must be why they call it that.
We have some supplies but we will need to get more in probably a day or two.
I can see out of my eye, but everything is kind of blurry. Maybe it's not as bad as I thought it was. There's some kind of covering on it that I can feel. Hopefully I can take it off when it heals. I remember getting a shot and going to sleep. I feel a lot better now, most of the cuts I had don't hurt any more.

I don't know who lives in the north village, but I think I can drive to either one now. Goblins usually do what we say, I'm not sure why they wouldn't take kindly to us.

I think we can get to one or the other of these places with the amount of fuel we have left.

Look in a reflective surface. I think you got a generous replacement.

You sure that's a cover? 'Cause it looks like its pretty solidly attached to you. Better check it out in one of the car's mirrors to see how well attached it is.

Drive to the goblin's village. Arora has often had dealings with them, so they should at least be neutral to you if you tell them he treated you, and they see his obvious handiwork on your eye.

"Jirri do I look cool?"
"I- uh, guess so? You probably should keep that back in there"

"OK, we are going to this Northpole place, even though it's west." Should we drive right up to it or keep our distance?

Keep your distance, they probably have laws against children driving cars. Even if they don't they probably won't like it. You should find somewhere safe to keep it. How is Jirri at driving anyway? Has she gotten better? She's a brave little girl considering all thats happened.

>>503007
(what? I thought it was 3 to 2 in favor of the goblin village.)

I think we should drive up. I mean, we're in a non-military vehicle so it shouldn't be cause for alarm.

You know next to nothing about Northpole, so keep your distance and scout it out a bit. Maybe park on the road a bit out and check it on foot, then drive the rest of the way in if there's nothing obviously wrong or threatening.

It'd be best if Jiri drove, since your sight is still messed up somewhat. You can take that time to better instruct her on how to drive.

Pretty neat that your new eye is detachable and works remotely; That might come in handy. Shame Arora didn't leave any instructions on how to care for it, what not to do with it, or said how long it'd be until the blurriness clears up.

Say that you'll tell his chieftain everything that you know that he wants to know, but you can tell the guard right now that the Electric Funeral is closer than he thinks, and is heading this way.

As for what you tell the chieftain, let him ask his questions and you answer at first. Look to tell him your whole story, but be wary about him leading you into a verbal trap to incriminate yourself; He might be looking for an excuse to lock you up or execute you. That's just something you're going to have to feel out when you get in there. Also, Jirri can corroborate your story after the point you met her, so that'll bolster your argument you're not a kobold nations agent.

Also ask the leaders name and make sure she knows ours.

Well, if you're going to be a traitor, might as well make the most of it. Are there any strategic or technological secrets you could tell them?

Say that if she does turn you over for coin, they will probably torture you for info, and in that you'll lie to point the kobold war machine this way. You'll say you overheard one of the goblins gloating about how the kobolds are so far off the mark with sacking those boarder towns, implying that this village knows something about where whatever it is they're looking for is. Maybe you'll say Arora frequently comes here, and from what you saw he's part of the resistance to the kobolds. Whatever you come up with, you'll make sure it'll get this village in trouble.

I can hear some kind of activity going on nearby but I can't make out if it's construction or what. There's a hole under the water with bubbles coming out of it, and now I'm all wet and muddy. I don't think I'm supposed to be here.

Make sure not to disturb the ducks and then go check around the crates. After you see if there is anything interesting there it might be worth it to clean yourself off in the water there.

And if you are in the water you might want to check the pipe with the bubbles. Might be able to swim into the obsidian wall area.

They won't let me in the shops now! Should I just go to the clinic or do something else?

>>525107
...clinic.

Take of your shirt to impress the goblin shopkeeper.

Remember to explain that you fell in a mud puddle.

If possible, try to figure out how or wear you can get the mud of your shirt.

Well, you could jump in that fountain to wash the mud off, but that very likely would get you in trouble. Better just head to the clinic. Unless it's a total dump it should at least have a working sink and soap you could use to wash your clothes out and clean off your face and arms. You can say you tripped over a loose cobble into a mud puddle to explain your messy state.

I explain that I got pushed into a puddle and go get cleaned up. She gave me a shirt, but it's way too big.
"So, you're here to help me on orders of the chief? What is it exactly that you can do that I would need help with?"

"Well, uh, first can you look at my eye?"

I need some time to think.

Ok, for real, I can do some first aid but I'm no real surgeon. I don't have much in the way of ideas. On one hand I could just try to bullshit my way though, that's worked so far, but on the other hand I might get told to do something I really don't know how, and gnolls are scary.

"Your eye looks fine to me, except the one that's missing and replaced with that witchcraftmechanism. "

Being first-aid trained covers about 80-90% of frontier medical issues anyway.

>>537804
This. We are going to triage the fuck out of the waiting room.

You know basic first-aid from your time in the military, so you can triage patients and treat the minor stuff so she doesn't have to. Other than that you can do clinic scut work such as cleaning, washing and the like. Unfortunately you only know how to read and write kobold-script, so any task involving reading or writing in another language is out, for now.

"to be honest I'm just trained in first aid, and I can do regular chores as well."
"Well that'll have to do"
I help clean things for a while. Suddenly there's an alarm going off, I can hear distant gunfire!
"Well, looks like you'll be able to use those first aid skills. Sounds like a raid."

A few minutes later a truck drives up, it looks like that gang attacked one of the outlying farmhouses. Some really ugly things bring in the wounded; there's a goblin with a sword wound, another with a bullet wound in the leg, and a sergal they captured with a few bullet wounds! Veracity wants me to take the two goblins while she works on the captive! They both look like they're bleeding pretty bad!

These things are super ugly, and they look wounded too, but they don't seem to be hurting at all. They must be strong, too, to carry a full grown goblin like that! Who do I tend to first?

>>541055
Hmm. I'm thinking... put a tourniquet or some other sort of quick binding on the leg- maybe even something as conventional as bandages- to keep her stable for longer while you work on the sword wound. We can't really delay the sword wound.

Do you know how to do stitches?

>>541057
+2 on a quick tourniquet if it is a major wound to the leg, and get one of the things to keep a compress on the wound, we don't want him to start bleeding out while we deal with the other one. Then do a quick assessment of the extent of the injuries on the other. I think it looks to low to a lung or heart injury so we should have time stabilize the other one first.

Whatever those ugly creatures are they're not really wounded and they're strong, which is a good for you. You're gonna need their help to move the patients around.

Direct the two with the stretcher over to the nearest open patient table while you grab a tourniquet and two pads of bandages. Hand those to the one carrying the goblin with the bullet wound and quickly tell it to press the pad down on the wound hard to staunch the bleeding; One on both sides if it was a through and through hit. And if that isn't enough to staunch it, to tie the tourniquet tight above the wound as well. Then you can check the sword wound yourself.

You're gonna need to wash the blood out of the sword wound to determine how deep it is. Get a pitcher of sterile water, a directional lantern, a roll of bandaging and some sterile cotton. Have one of the ugly creatures illuminate the wound with the lantern and another slowly pour the water in to wash the blood away while you hold the wound open with a couple bandages. If the wound isn't deep enough to hit the guts, lungs, or heart, then pack it with cotton, fold a bandage pad over it, and wrap bandaging around him to hold it down. But if it has do the same and tell Veracity. And if he's seriously bleeding then he needs Veracity to work on him now, before he bleeds out.

Tourniquet the leg, then elevate it. Clean and seal the gut-wound, then clean and seal the leg wound and remove the tourniquet.

OK, whew, I got them stabilized in the right order, looks like. Everything seems to have settled down in here. They're taking the sergal away to jail or something I think.

"You did a good job, I think I'll keep you around here after all. Here's 20 copper, go and get some clothes or something. You're free to wander around, just come back here if you hear the raid siren."

hmm, what should I do now? All of those ugly things seem to be following the head goblin out as well. I don't like them, it's like they don't even feel pain or something!

>>546562
Ask if they feel pain.

Also, ask about that hole in the wall and the ducks.

Hey hey don't go calling them uglies. You're not looking so hot yourself, splotch nose!

Those seem to be mole-ratfolk.

It's kinda a wonder what they're doing on the surface given how they're practically blind.

Ask miss Veracity what is the big obsidian tower with the wall around it.

Then go buy some real clothes and and a hat. When you look decent enough go see how Jirri is doing.

" Who's that dragon guy? "
"Oh him? He's just one of the dragon's minions. I hear they take normal people and turn them into those in some dark ritual. It's some kind of metallic dragon, but not one I've ever heard of. Not that there's many of them around to begin with, I guess. He's probably going to go see the chieftain again. I'm just a stable hand, I don't know much about politics. "
hmm, yeah. That is the chieftain's house, where I just came from. "So did you talk to her when you got here too?"
"Oh no, I'm not anybody important. I've just been working at the north side stables. We mostly use animals to get around in this town, not machines. I hear the raiders have some kind of machine fuel making factory that they use, though. It's pretty scary, I think. So, what brings you here?"

Well you are a Refugee, so that's not actually a lie. Best go with that.

Say that you are a refugee, who would prefer not to mention the details of it all, but that you did flee to here with a young child. If he should see her, ask him to let her know that you're doing alright, and she shouldn't worry about you.

where is that sergal you where with?

Kaz, the Goblin chief, said she'd find a family for Jirri to stay with. Jirri's wherever Kaz sent her. Possible that the Dracominion was headed to take her wherever, but that's not really enough of a chance to go on, especially since we should probably avoid upsetting the goblins.

By the way, once the subject starts to die off, ask him about the animals, do people rent them, purchase them, perhaps just have a contract to be allowed to borrow one when needed?

"Oh, I'm a refugee from the war, I ran here with a young child."
"Oh, from one of the villages, then? Those mercenaries in town might end up getting out of here soon.There's supposedly going to be a strike against the Snakes some time in the next few days, but if the army is on the march they might get a little more action than they're looking for. Watch out for them, they don't like kobolds. I sure hope they aren't too close"
"Oh no, we've been traveling quite a way, they are probably a week's travel away at least, plus there's nothing much they'd want here, uhh, that I can think of." We chat a little more about what goes on in town, the stables where he works are where pretty much all the riding animals are kept. Most of them are goblin mounts for the local militia, but any time merchants or travelers come by they can leave their animals at one of the three stables at each of the city gates. They 'inside' stables are run by the city and sometimes have mounts for rent, but if I wanted to buy something there's a rancher by the south gate that has animals for sale. I don't really know how to ride a horse or beak dog or anything though. Nobody really does that when we can just drive somewhere instead.
Jirri is staying with the woodcrafter and his wife, they lost their daughter to sickness a few months ago, and seem like nice goblins. I'll bring her a parrot toy, I didn't see any bears when I passed by the toy store. There's a lot of green parrots here for some reason.

Should I ask any more questions or go check out something else?

do you have any weapons still? if not can you even buy a piece with what you got?

Then you would be part machine, part dragon-bold.

Turns out the wood place is near the stables, so I make some conversation on the way back. The Snakes are a group of raiders based out of an old refinery that they've turned into a fortress of sorts. They steal food and weapons, mostly, and take goblin slaves if they can. Their leader is a gnoll named Finder, and they mostly are sergals and gnolls. They've got a bunch of scavenged vehicles and weapons left over from when the army occupied the area.

"Yeah, that's the rumor, actually. They say you give up everything to it, and they're all like, mind controlled by the dragon or something. "



We get to the place, and I say goodbye. Jirri is here, generally doing kid stuff while the some goblins work the sawmill behind the place. I give her the parrot, why are there so many of them here?
"Thank you! But can you do something for me? I want my big brother, can you go get him? He is the same color as me, and his name is Deiwid."
oh crap oh crap "Uhh, sure, I'll tell him if I see him here." wait no that's not what I wanted to say! He's probably dead! "Well I have to go I'll come see you later on ok? "

"Ok, find him for me!"
