Are you in jail? I take it no mice come out of that hole in the wall since your cheese is still uneaten.

Seriously though, if your sentence is only a month, maybe it's worth waiting out? I mean, what's the penalty for attempted jailbreak? Or if you escape and are later recaptured? Seems to me you're taking a big risk here.

oh man, that may not be where Sombermann is planning to take this quest, but i would love that so hard. the fuzzy recurring dream, the possible insanity, the ability to have a personal item when you're in jail, that way Lykke hinted that he could get out but didn't tell us how. it all fits perfectly with a quest challenging us to literally mold reality the way we need it.

yeah! try finding a doorknob and keyhole, attaching it to your side of the door, and using your skeleton key to get out. it's just crazy enough to work.

Look harder for something to draw with. Dirt grease or blood could all be suitable drawing materials in such a situation.

let's do this thing!

look at that armor. you're way faster than he is, especially with that lithe body. just run!

If there's one thing that a jack of all trades can do better than a dwarf in armor, it's run away.

dodge backwards and unlock the ball and chain. then apply to dwarf

I think you should probably run.

running now!

What we maybe should have done is tried setting down the cheese behind us so the gaurd behind us would slip and fall flat on his face, which might give us time to get past him and run the other way.

2. is the door that you drew already open?
3. where does the high window in the other wall lead? because you could draw another, barless, window in the same wall and just go through it maybe.

Skeleton key should be a key item how can it be removed without finishing its quest? Don't check your pocket man, pull up your inventory. If it's not there, check the hole, check the pillow, check yourself, check your privilege.

Consider drawing the skeleton key into the keyhole on your fake door.

Alright this time let's go over what you already know how to do well, rather than dwelling on the fact that you could do anything well.

How good are you in a fight? Talking to people? Sneaking around? Picking pockets?

>>562067
see >>561737

>>562069
Those are stats, not skills, thank you very much.

Okay, so here's a few things we can try-
Blitzing past axe guard instead of attempting to go left, possibly by using ball and chain to do so.
Not talking to the prisoner-that guy got very loud, possibly alerting Hammer Guard to our presence, and letting him camp the doorway like he did.
Or we could wait for nightfall and break while the guards are sleeping/ swap out with other guards.

It felt so real 'cause it was real. We best totally avoid the guards this time around. And especially do not attempt to assault one with a day-old wedge of cheese! (You idiot.)

Pocket the cheese and plate and get the Skeleton Key from under your pillow. Then pull the pillowcase off the pillow if it has one and pocket that; It can be used as a sack. Pocket the magic torch as well. A light source is always useful.

Now, the hall is a no-go, so I'm thinking we either go down, up, through the exterior wall or into an adjacent cell. Lykke, what do you know about what's above and below this level and what's on the other side of the exterior wall?

And from now on, when you draw a door, make it just wide enough for you to fit through and not the stout dwarves.

I've got an idea. Since the Skeleton Key can unlock anything it follows that it might be able to do the opposite and lock anything. That'd be useful for Lykke to lock doors behind himself while fleeing. It'd even work on ones without locks; He just has to draw a keyhole on it.

Test that right now by drawing a keyhole on the cell door, inserting the Key, and turning it in the opposite direction you'd use to unlock it. If it works then the door can only be unlocked by the Key, and the guards won't be able to get in here without busting it down.

>>562082
i agree 100%

1. draw trap door below you
2. draw keyhole in door
3. open trap door slightly to peek below, if safe descend if not try another wall or celing

Locking doors might be useful, but it's also possible the magic only works to unlock anything, like Lykke said.

Something to ponder: If the external wall does, in fact, lead to a drop due to being on an elevated floor, then instead of drawing a straight door, you should draw square, vertical doors that open to act as a platform. You could use these as stairs and climb your way up, looking for something to assist you in decending from upper floors.

History would indicate that the RIGHTSIDE wall (when looking at the real door) leads to somebody who you do not want to be near, so do not make a door to there.

Of course, we have yet to discover if doors that are entirely drawn actually work.

Lykke checks under his pillow and finds his most prized possesion "The Skeleton Key"...

Lykke
>phew... its save

Lykke went for a lot of troubles to conseal it on his person...

Lykke
-phew i guess there is no going around it so let me explain you the rules of using "The Skeleton Key"... this magical item was with me for a very long time now, and i myself discovered some of its uniqe properties.

"The Skeleton Key"
-it can unlock any lock as long as it has a keyhole that can fit it...
-it can open not only door but anything with lock on it...
-it cant unlock things that cannot be opened (like a solid wall for example)...
-it cant unlock things that protected with magic...

Sorry guys i have to retcon its ability to effect drawings cuz otherwise it will derail entire quest and make a mess of a story... and im gonna change some stuff that happened before the restart around so dont rely on info you got before hand, cuz its officially outdated now, and i mean everything...

Processing of the data indicates we cannot retrieve the torch, since it is magic. The only way for us to go is out through the hallway.

Do the chains have locks? It may be useful if they can be opened from the wall.

Draw a lock on your mind
Unlock all your potential
Metaphorical locks should work!

All new huh? Alright. Retrieve cheese, investigate hole in wall.

Go over the history of how you got locked up and if you know anyone else that got put in jail too. Also tell us what the prison is like from your understanding.

Do those chains on the floor have any locks on them?

look out the door window and ask the guard if he really is gonna just stare at your door all day

stick hand in mousehole, rip open mattress and pillow for anything useful, drag bed over to look out high window and get the lay of the land

Lykke
-If i remember it correctly im currently residing at the north wing solitary confinement block. The reason why ended up behind bars is that i been selling unstable "dragon gunpowder" as firecrackers to kids... Parents of the kids how should i put it... where not ver amused by... now "Bold and Beardless Generation"...

-I dont know how long they are planning to hold me here... but i guess its for my own sake... the town is really out for my blood out there... so i need to find a way to put things right...

-Im not very heavily guarded as far as i managed to observe, there are only two guardsmen in the north block.

-I dont know about the main block, but as far as i able to see, im the only one in the solitary confinement block.

-Through the small window in my cell i can see ocean waves crushing into the steep cliffs below.

Lykke peers out of his cell and see a guard... standing right next his cell door...

>>562480
Ask for a bathroom break? When do you usually manage to be let out of your cell?

ok, lessee.. clever plan, clever plan.. or at least something that changes the status quo.

isn't it hard for non-dwarfs to tell whether a dwarf is male or female? hmm. then it shouldn't be hard to pretend the guard is a member of your preferred sex!

start a flirtation-heavy conversation with the guard and get some details about the prison, the guards, the state of the outside world, your sentence... or maybe just ask if they'd like to get drunk with you and take it from there! worst thing that can happen is you get ignored.

ask if the guard's job s to stand there staring at your cell all day

Heh. Even Dwarven fortitude has it's limits.
Can you hold out until the gaurd changes twice times?
First two times are to get a sense of WHEN the gaurd changes, and how long their shifts are. Now, the key is, we want to time our excape bid for...Early enough that the shift won't be mid-changing but late enough the gaurd should be waiting for his relief to come. They'll be more tired, more sluggish, and we'll want the advantage that brings.

>>562480
Ok, super sneaky plan time. The guard likely doesn't have any inkling to talk to you, and may have orders to specifically ignore you. So you're going to tidy up your ripped up pillow and make it look sort of normal, unlock your door and slightly push it open, then quickly and quietly run to your bed. The guard will (hopefully) come in and inspect the place, where you play dumb until you have the opportunity to lock that chain on him. Then book it to the south exit and pray another guard isn't there. Sound good?

Lykke thinks it would be impossible feat on his part... living all his life within a dwarven community Lykke learned to distinguish males and females dwarfs... and he is 100% sure that this guard and him are playing for the same team.

Ah....you might not like this. Can you escape your shackles? You might wish you couldn't. Because the immediate idea that comes to mind is escaping through the prominent hole in the floor.

On the other hand, that might not work, for various reasons.

Steal the roll of toilet paper, you can use it to start a fire later.

Can't you unlock your shackles? But make it look like you're still in them. Then wait for just the right moment to slip away from the guard and sneak off somewhere.

the shackles are on a chain. if we take them off the guard will still be chilling outside with the other end...

okay so you know how toilet-paper dispensers have those bars between the handles, that hold the roll on there, right? and the bars are removable so you can change the roll?

1. steal toilet-paper roll
2. remove said bar
3. slip out of cuffs
4. put bar through cuffs and reattach to handles as if changing toilet-paper roll

Okay then I think our two options are:
1) Go down into the horrible sewers.
2) Just make it look like we did and instead hide behind the door or something so that the guard looks in and immediately alerts the other guards that there's an escapee in the sewers. Then we can sneak off through the much better-smelling prison.

use tiny bit of fluff from the pillow to find out if the torch can actually burn anything.

If so, you can probably force them to save you from a fire by leaning your apparently-wooden bed against the wall and burning it.

For future reference, if they ask why the hell you did that, explain that you were cold. After all you're so much skinnier than those dwarfs.

Alright let's sneak around a bit. Instead of going straight for the exit, sneak off north to see if we can find any usable items.

>>563134
Those were the magic words! Ok, here's what you're gonna do Lykke. Hold your breath and go back inside your cell. Grab the guard's ax, but don't worry because you're not going to be fighting anybody with it. Slip it in through the bars of Murderfarm's cell and then wait in the cell next to him. When the second guard walks past, change your voice as best you can and say that Murderfarm has a weapon and says he's going to kill everyone that he can. Then once the fight is over, tell him that there's smoke coming from the north and pray to whatever gods you have that there aren't anymore guards in the way.

Lykke
-Right... i can be many things... but murderer is not one of them...

>>563127
i agree, but Lykke doesn't seem to be feeling too concerned about that right now, judging from his expression. i'll leave it up to him.

well, we know from our dream that we're completely surrounded by people who hate us... and the noise of that dwarf banging on the fire with his axe is going to bring other guards running. you're gonna need to find a place to hide or at least a place to counterattack from.

try the cell behind you. pretend to be locked in there as if it were the cell you were supposed to be in. start yelling "fire!" as if you were scared it was going to spread to your cell. maybe search cell for useful things while more and more guards gather, trying to put the fire out. wait for your chance... then sneak past them and south towards the exit, quietly.

the guy in the cell to our south is going to try to give us away again as we pass him, so we need to think of some way to shut him up... or at least make sure he doesn't see while we sneak past him... but i don't have any ideas there.

>>563141
That was all part of a dream. Did you forget? Lykke was not sent in because of a barfight, but because he sold dangerous fireworks.

We don't know who's in the nearby cells. Examine them, see who's inside, and if they contain any goods worth grabbing. You may want a new pillow, after all.

>>563145
Right, keep forgetting that we literally know nothing that wasn't told to us again. Well in that case keep the ax for good measure and be on your way once the guard runs past because the entire prison is about to reek of smoke if it doesn't already.

>>563145
i didn't forget; i'm just assuming we have some kind of foresight. maybe Lykke's confused too, in which case i'm simply an accurate representation of his thoughts :o

>>563143
Run for a different entrance, maybe in the kitchens
I'm saying run because, well, that dwarf can probably just chop his chain with an axe and then fake being passed out

He's a dwarf remember? He's small enoguh that there's less smoke entering his lungs then a larger person because heat and smoke rises.
But if he IS legit passed out might want to nab that axe.

Lykke carefully strolls down the hallway into the main block...

Regular cells are filled with local scorchers...

Second guard is nowhere to be seen...

ask "so what do you guys think of a jailbreak?"

The fact that we don't know where the 2nd guard is makes me nervous. Stay on your toes as you proceed, and check behind you every once in a while.

let's continue, albiet slowly and carefully, it's going to be some time before the alarm is raised but we'll lose our headstart if we're discovered!

I presume from the title "Scorchers" they have some relation to your own crimes. Is this true? They may be willing to help you out if it is. If they are not friendly to you, then it is safe to say, do not alert them to who you are.

Don't talk to the other prisoners, they could cause a ruckus. Try to get past unnoticed.

There's no way of knowing how many guards are outside of that door. The prison break would definitely give a lot more cover for you to escape, but surely at least some of those dwarves are there for a reason. It's up to you how badly you want to get out Lykke.

Unlock all the cells, escape in the chaos.

Dispached squad of the guards followed the escapees to the mountain pass...

Umm i guess you should wander home and start gathering supplies since that is the first place they will look for you once they tally all the missing prisoners.

After a short stroll Lykke reaches the Nokk town.
Its a small trading port and last stop for ships that heads north.
Its separated onto three main districts: "Hole"-district, "Plain"-district and "Pillar"-district.

Currently Lykke have access to:

1) Home
2) "White Rabbit" tap house
3) Market place
4) Port
5) Arena

Due to his low standing on social ladder Lykke dont have access to the "Pillar"-district...

continue homeward. be wary of guards.

Avoid the Arena. There would likely be guards there, unless it's an underground Slim-rabbits run place.

My suggestion for the first location to head to is your home. Check up on your father. Afterwards, I presume you could find some hints at the Tap House. Make some money, if you have not stored some away, so that you can obtain some goods from the market.

Better stay away from the remains of Murderfarms tap house.
Do you have any experience working on ships? Getting on a ship and sailing away has always been an easy way to disappear, though it could end up being a very long trip.

Well, I'd be careful about going home - probably safe-ish for now, unless they're smart, but once they realize you're still missing, they may put a watch on your house or something.

yeah, go home.

Pops.

P.S.
Also try not to get into any trouble while im gone... deal...

welp, let's do those things, except that last one, i doubt you have time to clean that thing.

Wow, so this has been on there for a week
Holy shit, dude, your Dad's shit has been fucked from your absence. Like, Ludwig has to be dead.

I don't care if there are douche bags in there, go save a starving, dehydrated ludwig. Good thing you got out early huh? He would most certainly be dead and your Father's business irrepairable after a month of negligence.

Which means we have to get a disguise or get someone else to do this shit for us until the statue of limitations for prison escape and whatever your previous crime was is past.

So... what is that, 50 years?

So are you adopted or are you just really weird looking dwarf?

well, enter your house, then.

Do not speak such malicious words. It is clear that his father is just a short, large boned whatever species Lykke is.

(Lykke, I do hope you do not take offense to our bickering, we truly do not know the way things are for you, and can only operate on assumptions until informed properly)

Lykke
>Blueeehhhaaaghhh...

Lykke successfully discharged contents of his stomach in the Nokk town sewer system.

It seems your father was correct in assuming the brew had gone bad.

how many windows can you open from the outside? you may want to vent the house before you try to go in again. Also see if ludwig is dead or not?

I don't think miasma stops spawning unless you remove the source. so take a deep breath and get to it.

>>564447
...As a tip, you might want to make use of the stolen toilet paper now. Create a cloth mask, in case you have to gasp for air.

...I hope the stench is from the brewing machine and not from Ludwig's decaying corpse. It'd be very sad if Ludwig died because you were in prison... Actually, what is Ludwig, anyway? A cat? Could he survive a week without food?

Is there a back door you could open up to get some airflow through the place? Or a hatch or door out onto the roof? Maybe some windows you could open from the outside? Or windows close enough you could hold your breath to rush in to open? You'll probably want to open windows for light too.

It appears the miasma appears is rising into the air, so if crawl along the floor it might not be as bad as sticking your head in it.

>>564450
That wouldn't create a good enough seal to be of use, especially with Lyyke's long face. Instead roll up some sheets of toilet paper and use them to plug your nostrils.

>>564434
Haha, I like the addition of the word "successfully".

If none of the other ways work, you may be able to progressively and gradually accustom yourself to the stench over the course of...a while. If you can even stand the idea of doing that.

Once you get the taste of bile mostly out of the back of your throat, take a deep breath and open windows and doors to air it out some.

Miasma started slowly lifting for Lykke's house.

Dwarfs on the street
-Buuuheee...

Maybe he has mutated into a poisenous acid-... thing...
What was Ludwig to begin with?

fuck those guys. keep letting the stank out and let 'em come at you, bro.

>>564561
I had presumed your lengthy nose would allow for such a mask.

The dwarves seem to be paying more attention to those fallen from the stench, upon the roof of your home. This will likely be temporary, however, and they may turn their attention to the house's innards.

Finish what you must, look for Ludwig, clear out the booze, and get the trash out of there. If anybody comes to investigate, pretend to be a buddy of "the son of the household," not Lykke yourself.

well let's get this over with now so we don't have to worry about it later.

Lykke, your mission should you choose to accept it is to run into your house, open another window and run back outside to catch your breath again.

After letting some of the poisonous mist out, Lykke enters the house recalling its basic layout.

Second floor is still out of reach right now cuz of all miasma clogged up there.

booze room first, we got to get rid of the source of the miasma or it will always be threatening to overpower you. also keep an eye out for ludwig

and do clean out anything else rotten in the kitchen on your way.

Peek into the closet momentarily and take inventory of what's there, followed by the kitchen. Then look in the booze room to confirm it is the source of the miasma.

Cleaning out the brewing machine would be the best option, but I doubt you have a sealed container to dispose of the contents or the time to deal with them. You might just have to close the door to the booze room and contain the miasma so you can air out and move through the rest of the house.

Be quick about things. That cloud of miasma you let loose has to have drawn attention. You'd best be gone before anybody comes to investigate.

If the miasma has pooled up into the 2nd floor, then the basement should be relatively clear. It might be worth checking out if you can breathe in it.

If Ludwig is still alive, it means he made it to the basement. The miasma is rising, he'd have a chance to survive down there. Do what you can to further the cleansing of the lower floor, then check the basement.

Lykke now in the vestibule...

so how does one go about cleaning the booze room anyways?

that mallet and helm may come in handy

Lykke admires picture of himself, Pop's and his brother Phil, it was taken during a great war of the "Stone Rose"...

Lykke
-"i was too small to remember anything"

An honest question, do you know what species you are? Have you seen any others of your kind in this town?

Also check the status of the kitchen.

If that helmet is smaller than your father's cranium, and the mallet is light enough for you to lift, then perhaps they are meant for you. Your father fought in a war, and likely expected such of you as well.

Donning the helmet does not look to be a viable course of action, your own head is too skinny for it; the only method by which it would fit is if you could attach straps to hold it on (the excess width is only enough to keep it loose).
>>565765
To reach the booze room, one must travel through the kitchen, after all.

it seems to be coming from either the top left or the top right doorway. follow the sting. don't dillydally. you gott clear it out fast, man.

top right door

>>565761
The small helmet might have belonged to a forgetful guest.. or someone that's inside right now.

>>565797
The door in the top left is the entrance. The miasma is depleting out of it.
Keep watch of the map. >>565046

to the kitchen, then the booze room. Once we get rid of the miasma we can maybe look for Ludwig.

Lykke enters kitchen

Stench intensifies...

Ok, well, deep breath before rushing in and trying to fix whatever you see.

get low to the ground as this stuff seems to like staying high, take a deep breath and then lets see what the damage is... and since you're in the kitchen maybe find some kind of container to hold some of whatever is making this smell so if we ever need to run away from someone we would have a stink/smoke bomb to aid in our escape.

onwards ho!

>onwards ho!

Lykke takes a deep breath and enters sacred booze room...
-"UGHHHH!!!"
Misma is still too potent in here, even staying close to the ground makes a little difference.

Lykke recives toxic damage...

slam the lid shut and get out of there.

also you were supposed to just hold your breath in this room. not breathe at all.

>>565863
I don't think he's inhaling at all. I think he's getting toxic damage just from being in here.

The miasma is even stronger near the open lid, so there's no way you'll be able to get close enough to close it by hand. You'll need a pole or something similar to knock it closed. If the mallet has enough reach use that. Otherwise retreat and close the door to this room if there is a door.

Is there a lid or cover for that glass jar under the drain spigot? Because if there is then at some point you might be able to drain some of the foul concoction off, seal it, and use it as a stink bomb in an emergency.

>>565865
>use it as a lethal poison in an emergency
FTFY :3

Also, if you can't close the thing without significant risk, retreat hastily.

>>565860
Oh just get out of there, we can't fix that.

Find Ludwig.

Oh god quick, use the mallet to hook the lid and close the damn thing before it kills us all. Then check the basement for Ludwig.

Maybe turning on the tap will let some of the death ooze out, and then you could throw out a jar's worth? Either way grab the jar, jars always come in handy.

I don't know how much HP you got. if it's at least a hundred, close the lid. otherwise, just run out.

kick that hole bigger and go through. unless there's anything useful to pick up in the room.

Lykke
-"well pop's amassed a lot of junk here from days of his youth... i can take all of it with me... and it will take all day to search through this pile for something useful (unless i know exactly what to look for)"

At the moment, I would suggest looking for a net. >>565759 You've amassed a decent sized collection of items, suitable for a variety of things, but nothing to entrap a person. A net or a light, hollow box & stick would be a good idea to carry around.

A lamp or some other light source. Unless you can see in the dark like a dwarf.

something to help you recover from the poison damage you received when you had to face the miasma. That and money, it would be nice if we could buy something at some point. When you're down go down the hole and see if we can't find Ludwig... and maybe leave a note for your father saying you may be out of town for a few days because of reasons and also you think Ludwig ran away so you went to look for him. Oh and PS for the love of god don't open the brewer without some kind of gas mask.

>>567883
A dagger would be useful. You'd have to drop something for it though, or pick up a small bag to carry things in.

Before we go, is there anywhere in the house you haven't looked? I mean, you found evidence that someone else was here. It'd be best to find out if they still are.

Lykke scavenge for net in the pile of basement junk... after a few moments... success here it is -Pop's fishing net-

Lykke still have one free slot in his inventory... for what he should search now?

A)Lamp or some sort of light source (cuz you dont have eye's of the dwarf)
B)Some sort of medicine (sweet if possible)
C)Weapon (it's dangerous to go alone)
D)Rope (good for descending as well as ascending)
E)Towel (always know where your towel is...)
X)Dragon dildo (... heck if know why whould you need that!!!)

drop the TP and the helm and devour the candy.

definitely get a rope and a dagger.

dragon dildos can be used as daggers, right?

>>567975
You'd be surprised how useful a dragon dildo can be. Wave one around at someone and I guarantee they'll think twice about approaching you.

...don't take the dragon dildo. Get a rope, we'll just use the mallet for a weapon.

Better idea--eat the candy, then take both the rope and the dragon dildo. You don't know how useful those things can be when situations turn sour.

Take the Dragon Dildo, do you know how territorial and solitary dragons are those things are nearly priceless to them, we'll need it if we ever stumble across one and don't want to be eaten.

Drop the toilet paper and the helmet then get a lamp, you can use the mallet as a weapon and now you have 2 free inventory slots in the case you find something.

>3+ votes for taking the dildo
god I love this website.
but yeah, eat the candy and take the dong along, yo.

If you can't find any sweet medicine, you could melt the candy and mix the medicine into it, free up a slot that way for another item. Otherwise, you may just want to take some medicine right now and save the rest for later.

As for the last remaining slot, the hammer will be a bit unwieldy for you, try and find some sort of dagger, or perhaps a light-but-sturdy club of some sort. Even a whip might be useful for you.

Demasculinizing?! It's a dildo shaped like a dragon's phallus. How many people can say that they're man enough to take one of those!

Anyway, perhaps it is time to inspect the hole. Equip the light source, helmet and hammer before entering, just in case.

I knew you'd make the right choice, o wise one. now thrust your tall body through that damp orifice in the wall!

So Ludwig is a sheep? Try calling his name to wake him up, and what does he eat? Since your job was to feed him.
