well here we are, the great tower of babel, it stands right in the middle of those giant mountain like dunes.

It`s getting kinda Late maybe i should find somewhere to camp? or i can keep going to the entrance even if it gets dark.

>>628085
Camp before you go in. It's probably gonna be dangerous in there.

*Private*
...I know this legend...

I think.
*/Private*

Case the joint first. Make sure that whatever enemies are inside don't send out raiding parties, or your camp might be ambushed.

you don't know the area, set up a camp and be well rested for whatever challenges will be thrown against you tomorrow.

Is the place inhabited? Will there be a place you can sleep when you get there?

I set up a makeshift tent with my coat and a boulder, this should do it for the wind. And a campfire for the cold of the night

>>628106
I think that bandits and hostile humans will not be a problem, this place is engulfed in sandstorms, i only managed to get through thanks to my wyvern leather coat. but i might find some monsters if the legend is true.

The sandstorm calmed down a little, it's my chance to go!
or should i way for early in the morning?

Yeah, no telling how long your shelter will last out here. Get inside and set up a base.

>Get inside there and set up a base
My way in the inner garden of the ruins was surprisingly easy, the monster must be asleep.
the godess of luck must be at my side.

so the first floor of the babel tower is a big round inner garden, the entrance to the tower must be the giant pillar in the middle. Scatered around the plazza there is some plants, and the remains of a skeleton(it's kinda spooky).

Check the status of the plants.

Search the corpse and move on. Be on the lookout for a good spot to set up a base.

>>628218
In the hands of the skeleton i find a small piece of stone with a red jewel on it, it may be important so i will keep it on my Inventory

I try to grab the fruit on the plant but the moment i get close to it it burrows to the ground. I have never seen a plant that do this before.

Well, some plants, like the venus flytrap, have muscle memory for reacting to specific phenomena. The plant could be dumber than a sack of bricks, but optimized to sense movement and react by pulling itself underground, only to re-emerge when its nutrient supplies are low. Think of it as a trap mechanism: it cannot realize who you are, but it does something when conditions are met.

If you're hungry, try experimenting with various plants to see what they won't react to. Sneak, use long sticks, arrows, fire, dirt, etc.

>>628221
Well that's cute. Can you read the symbols on the pillars?

>>628224
Venus flyTRAP?!? GAH!

Shortly after the fruit entered the soil, a buzzing sound started and out of the sand a drill monster emerged, but its aim was not very good, so it hit the pillar right behind it, the damn monster has the strenght to break rock!

i came to a conclusion... i must get out of this floor quickly!

yeah, the smaller pillars seem to have writing or pictograms. of course, since it is babel, it could be n the first language before the sundering.

quick, catch it while it's in mid-air, it's strength is probably from the initial jump.

well the door is right there, just hope you can get through it with no problems or that thing attracts more monsters.

I think it's a bit dangerous getting too close to that calcified drill, i mean we're not talking about a scraped elbow here... but maybe i can use the insect-like monster to my favor.

I'm at the door.. but the hinges are stuck and the door is cracked, it won't budge, yet still the broken door isn't very sturdy

i gotta do something quick the monster is closing in on me!

Maybe you could befriend the little guy? If not, then find a way to blind it or disorient it so that it ends up hitting the door!

does the monster just leap blindly at you with no thought of it's surroundings? if so hold your ground and when it jumps get out of the way and let it smash the door open for you.

pitiful human, this is beyond your power, what god has done it can't be undone
This tower will be the last memento of the era of humans...

I can hear the buzzing of the drill again!

Well, something is talking to you. Not sure if it's the drill monster or something else.

If you're quick enough, you could dodge so the drill opens the door for you.

an after it does break open the door, while running through yell back "did you forget that man partook of the fruit of wisdom?"

I find the biggest rock i can carry, then i enter the room.
there i see the monstruous worm ratling around trying to walk with its useless legs.
as i ready my coup the grâce i star to hear a faint voice...

Get away! get away! i can't breath out the sand! humans are just like the legends say, but i will survive! i will!

Maybe you should show some mercy. Wait for him to get too weak to resist and toss him back outside into the sands.

Despite not knowing much about humans, it seems to a language with you. Momentarily appreciate the irony.
Say that if it surrenders you will not crush it.

(By the way, do you have any weapons other than the rock?)

"and would you have done the same if i asked you?"

>humans are just like the legends say, but i will survive!
You mean the legends say we don't appreciate things trying to kill us, and respond in kind?

If you surrender, and stop trying to drill me, I won't smash you with the rock.

I might even be convinced to return you to the sand, where you can breathe, if you can assure me you're not going to attack me again on the way out.

You attacked me first!

apealing to reason i decide not to smash the creature right away.
>and would you have done the same if i asked you?
>If you surrender i will not crush you.
I say, as i throw the rock aside

Why should i trust you human? all you do is destroy everything gah! ...wheeze... wheeze

>I can throw you back in the sand

This can't be a human showing compassion. what are you? why such actions? huf huf

(As for extra weapons i have my trusty carving knive in my inventory)

ask it if its seen a human before, no one from our tribe has ever seen a creature like him so of course you hold no ill will to his kind.

"because people are may kinds, there are bad people, and good people."
throw it back.

>Why should i trust you human? all you do is destroy everything
You destroyed the pillar and the door in your haste to destroy me. I destroyed nothing.

And you have little choice but to trust me unless you wish to suffocate. Hold still.

Then go to pick it up from behind so you can throw it back. Back off if it tries to drill again.

People are different from each other; I am not one of the humans in the legend.

it's hard to believe that a human can be good, may the goods forgive me but they might be wrong.. haaa haaaa..

>there are good and bad people i might be not a human from your legends
could it be that you humans have two kinds? the one who ate the fruit of wisdom and the ones that don't?

"you forget, it's full name was 'the fruit of knowledge, of GOOD and EVIL.' meaning some humans can choose the path of goodness, and others can choose the path of evil."

... If I throw you back into the sand will you try and kill me again?

If it's dead, it's dead. If it's not, it probably won't die without your help and besides you don't know anything about the people of the sand.

I say examine the writing on the pillars now that you have a bit of time on your hands.

>...and any of those who reside on the tower breaks the gods word. punishment will be severe...

i made it say too much?!

WHATS WITH THIS TOWER?!?!

Uh, shit. She broke some kind of oath by breaking off the attack? Not good.

Go see if she's okay.

...this means there are going to be other sapient creatures here. Likely all under oaths to attack you or die. You can't be here without causing harm.

So the place is haunted by fanatical ghosts, murderous angels and/or a homicidal god enforcing strict rules nobody else knows. Rule learned: avoid talking about the Fruit and who did or didn't eat it.

Earlier you mentioned a godess of luck, as in multiple gods, while this guy refers to god singular. Is the god associated with the tower one of the ones you recognize, and what do you know of them?
