Aww. Fetch the poor guy his horns.

"Uh... okay, that's... progressive? The jerk neighbors I used to live with said everyone with horns deserved to go to hell, and... screw those guys?"

They're just goats...

>>1099617
Curious, there's no difficulty understanding him.

Help him up and return his horns. Explain that you are foreigners who have come to this land to settle.

I will smuggle you into Heaven! I will have you know that not having horns is a very silly requirement to go to Hell. My people don't have horns and they've been doing just fine. Let me help you up, and give some food, see if you are down in the dumps after that.

Ah, nice! Let's... not worry about what happened in the side-story, methinks. Whatever happened there isn't our issue, and we don't even know that it exists.
Right, looking for another part of ourselves. The sign looks semi-promising, it'll at least help us get a bearing on where to go first. I imagine the part of us that's holed up in these dingy woods is at least a LITTLE bit secluded, so we're not gonna find them easy.

lets go walking and go kick some void ass

>>1099345

Quickly give a shout out to OSHA for setting the kind of guidelines and proper safety measures needed to build such a safe and enjoyable Gondola.

Also, it sure is dark, I guess we oughta like, find a place to sleep that's safe and nice and comfy... like some sort of "HOUSE OF RESPITE FOR THE WEARY".

Maybe, while on the way, ask Mirrow if they know about any constellations or neat space facts since it's just up there. Being there.

Ask Mirrow if they see the large "Chapter Three" in the sky or if you are going nuts.

Mirrow is so cool.

We can read, right? What does the sign say?

Finish up with the left arm, then retreat. Find an area with minimal tech, it might be capable of hacking smart objects!

Might be time to go for the kill, assuming you can avoid getting shot while doing so.

Complete operation disarmament and then get a distance to breathe.

I'd TAKE 2 Bone, before THROW Bone Darkness, in case something comes out of the darkness that you have to HIT Thing WITH Bone

LOOK around. LISTEN carefully. If there is something peering at you, you need to locate it before you go further in.

I guess the nailed plank could serve as a weapon.
You could try to use a pole to pry up the garage door, maybe... Or try to force the lock on the gate with the hammer and screwdriver. Use them like a hammer and chisel? Do you have any idea how to pick a lock? You have most of the tools needed here, you're just missing something thin enough to put into the lock and manipulate the pins.

If you can pry up the garage door you could put the plank(s) under it to keep it propped up. Hmm, you could even use the pliers and hammer to blunt the opening so it's less dangerous, but hammering it would be very loud.

Well you could twist all the barbs away, but that would take a long time. Propping up the garage door seems quickest.
And keep one of the poles as a weapon, or the nail plank. Whichever isn't too heavy.

Aw that hammer isn't broken. It's just been shortened for use with smaller paws/hands. You could use the (shortened) hammer and the screwdriver to probably bust the hinges off that door and climb the ladder. Problem is, that's gonna be LOUD!

Just try to pick a lock with that screwdriver. And keep it for now, it should work as a shiv.

Retreating into the tunnel, you avoid the brunt of the spores. Nonetheless your vision tinges red. Rustling and scratching surround you, the fibers of the matress grasping for you. Bats screech, their cry's hunting you in this twisted maze.

Your pincered quarry rears up, looming over you on its hundreds of legs. Its eyes burn with blood. The gash you left in its head splits wider and wider until you face a rending and tooth-filled void.

Hallucination! Don't panic. Keep moving back. Get back to the surface and do not use your blade on ANYTHING. After you've recovered you can come back and retrieve the corpse.

Oh shit, oh shit that is a big bug! Retreat retreat! I don't think you can fight this alone!

Keep your calm; panic serves no one, especially when stealth is of the essence. You know what the fungos can do, and that this is just one of their tricks. Close your eyes, keep your grip, and retreat whence you came.

So, we should probably get those pages away from him.

You did have those pages delivered to Multero, as well as Kalez. You tasked Eeyful with informing them of the situation.

I don't have anything better cooking in my noggin, so I'mma support this.

Summary:
For some reason, our wayward protagonist's thoughts became still. They could no longer muster the strength to think, and so they waited patiently for the god to arrive.
To their relief, the Mad Gods were whimsical; they knew that their country's commander had been replaced with a saboteur, but like most affairs of all the gods, they treated it as a 'private' matter, an interesting infiltration in this great game. Nonetheless, they had... tasks for the new Overlord to accomplish.
Tasks involving you.

End of Prologue

Yeah, this quest started out okay but the audience didn't like it and I ran out of motivation to improve it. Maybe I might make a new version some day, but I'm going to go back to being a pure suggester for a while. At least this one didn't go in the graveyard! (Please archive this quest.)

>>1099267

Honestly, the whole quest idea and the image methods and the setup and the scenario and the character and everything all kind of sucked? Really, I think you should just abandon the whole thing entirely.

Gonna try to add some actual criticism and not towards shitting on everything.

Trying to read this quest is a mess. Write less and make whatever dialog you include meaningful. Space sentences out.

The AI image method doesn't work on a board of artists. Drawing is difficult, but stick drawings would be better. The effort would be far more appreciated than generating and posting images with artstyles that conflict each update. I had to ctrl+f to see if Tibberloch was a recurring character and I was surprised to find out they were because they were only in two images and they looked different in each one. That's a huge negative if you're trying to build up characters worth remembering.

The concept of the quest was not a bad idea, but the weird system introduction and introduction of lore through spoilers doesn't work from a writing perspective. Show, don't tell.

I don't want it to seem all negative. I don't know if this was your first quest or not, but it takes some courage to put something out there for people to read, and that shouldn't go unrecognized. I hope this doesn't discourage you too badly. Polite sage.

>>1099275
thx

>>1099267

Honstly just do a time skip where the mad god poliet's the MC's body for a century or so and then hands back control of his body and say He's free to go, no stings attached.

As long as he survives the aftermath of his rule...

Why would they execute you now when they could do it live for the ratings or whatever? They don't need an excuse, its not like the audience is going to know if they're lying.

I guess just keep the pick under you until you free your head.

Derringer stock? Lockpick? This feels like the sort of thing we shouldn't convert into something else immediately. The potential is worth more than a toothpick launcher at the moment.

The new guys could be useful. If they're really that talented, then if we can spring them, they might be a big enough distraction to cover whatever we're doing. The downside is that they might be loose enough canons that we get caught in the crossfire. Communication is gonna be limited, but scoping out exactly what their talents are and how dangerous they would be to us should be a high priority.

>>1094056
What's that in the lower-left corner? It looks kind of irregular, not intended, especially with the discoloration. Does it go somewhere, is it a pipe, or just a random, unintended hole from a stray gunshot or something? Did someone punch it and leave blood around the jagged edges?

That toothpick is going to turn into your life line here. Might even be able to use it as a lockpick.

If you made a low-grade gun with the Concealment trait, something prone to failure and nigh-incapable of firing but with a supernatural chance of evading discovery, you could put the splinter in its hole.

No matter what, continue to make getting unstuck your primary focus. The chances of you getting killed for "resisting" shoot way up if you're still stuck in place when your turn at trial comes around. And if you do actually decide to resist, this is an extremely disadvantaged position from which to do so.

In the meantime...

"So, Barbara; I know one half of why you're here - you were found guilty of something death penalty-worthy regardless of whether you actually did it. But if this trend of 'special talents' continues... what special ability have you supposedly got that made the authorities extra scared of you?"

Come to think of it... this whole production seems wildly unprofessional for the purpose it's supposedly serving. There's duct tape holding down the intercom button. The way the 'contestants' have arrived is inconsistent in several ways. There are robot guards, but they're wielding wooden spears - and they aren't even in particularly good shape.

Actually... try asking everyone where they're from, come to think of it; specifically, where they were arrested and sentenced. Compare stories in full (assuming the new guys can take their tape off now that they aren't being watched), making no assumptions about details like that. I'm still of the theory that this whole show isn't legitimate, at least beyond a certain point. A front for some criminal group underbid for the right to handle the "disposal" of death-row inmates from various places - that only some inmates had to sign paperwork could suggest they're from different places with different laws and procedures pertaining to prisoners' rights. The goal, of course, is to recruit different criminals with supernatural abilities and help them 'disappear' off the living record to become everymen with no history and thus theoreticall

I could assign the genetitans to attack the comms, the servants cabins in the rear or the main engine housing and immobilize the yacht.

When we arrive on the main landing deck, which is the only possible landing site for the whole entourage of mine as a uniform group, the door opens and a shady figure approaches me from the pleasure barge interiors.

"Ahhh, My Star Empress, I've been waiting for this encounter... but alas as I know my both Gene-angels would tear your troops down into their flesh even with blunt melee weapons, tho they're sharpened tonight, I would come to parly, for to avoid unneccessary loss of life, mi Highness. Not because of hospitality, but because of your fleet pointing its whole arsenal at my Planet. You will however, be taken as an insurance policy, Now. ACTIVATE!"

Energy feedbacks recieved:
>> Anti-teleportation field activated surrounding the barge, I could still dive off the edge and try teleport from the air but at the risk the field would be too wide and I would hit the ground before I managed to escape.

All their possessions are briefly available to the taking, giving the had ventures a few seconds to grab something until the other princesses take over.

Addendum; Or, perhaps even more worryingly in an attempt to prevent our own future from coming to pass europe was intentionally nuked by the mutineers or a radical faction of mutineers (a victory lap was mentioned in the dream, someone took things too far…). Destroying Europe could have been a desperate gamble to have things turn out differently.

Didn’t work though, because here we are again, different players, same events. Guess its just human nature.

>>1099134
I'm not sure we caused the nuclear blasts. Those may have been part of the colonization efforts. The "victory lap" that broke the camel's back.
Regardless, both Disquiet and Rage agreed that it had to be done. They were both certain that it was necessary to kill everyone, because of what was at stake.

>>1099132
Do you remember what was at stake?

Dear god, we are time colonists.

But what does that have to do with orbital nuclear bombardment of ancient Rome? Was that... why "it was necessary?" They weren't trying to stop Rome's ostensible evil, so much as set up shop there? And you fucked shit up so they couldn't? Why nuclear, then? It'd make the whole place unusable! The colonists already left the moon and took over Rome, and you... had no other way to breach their planetary defense systems?

This is getting nowhere. Are... are you "kid?" Are you OK?

Maybe if you can find security logs from the medical bay you can find out what was in the box she smuggled in. (Or maybe the boxes they use there are like the one you found the pipe bomb in.)
Also, a club, huh? I hope it was in habitat 3. Maybe you could go there to relax.

And I suppose we should keep some brain cells on the lookout for "the thing we were supposed to do". Nothing occurs to me yet, but maybe it'll click for somebody else.

You did it, you saved him...

Cover your mouth and breathe slowly. You can't rest here, that demon is going to find a new host.

The fighting is over. Next most important thing is to get Evel'yee out of the room. That Protection vs Evil won't last forever, and she still has a geas. You and Mina can handle what's next, which will involve the box.

When Mina wakes up, tell her you're sorry, you couldn't find a way to keep Roderick alive. Evel'yee will back you up on that.

Put your weapon away, don't look at him or think about what just happened. It's going to be hard, but we're not out of this just yet. Whatever was possessing Roderick could still be lurking in the shadows.

Szszsz, yolkies suck up the toxic waste that leaked, and keep moving. Does splashing more dino data on Diira change the name again?

Kerplew! We need kerplew!

The rain is coming! And so too will the glowing radmoeba!
Though, if we can defeat it and survive, with so many culled (including the ones that will come with it in the rain), I doubt we'll have to worry about more any time soon after that...

Twig wand a toxic waste. If it makes more toxic waste, split the three toxic waste between the four big rad yolkies evenly.

Put our new corrupted dino data into Dora!
I bet it we can recover the third corrupted dino data from the blue radmoeba later, and combine it with the other two Inside Dora, something big will happen!

Keep moving, but rest when you need to.

sorry rad yolkies, you'll have to split the toxic waste we have

Oh right we know the dinodata does *something* when applied directly to a repteka, so let's apply some to ROCKS to see if that heals his severe damage.

Go for Pesh's memories. We might learn more secrets from Tesh's phone conversations, but that's also more screen we're going to be going through versus what's going on around them with Pesh's memory.
