Do not despair. All "unused" votes have been noted for other characters.

This quest will be 18+. Scenarios with NSFW solutions may be presented.

You are Kobold. A mage of the Objectspeaker class. You know the Animus language.

It is not that objects all inherently have life, it is that objects become animated at your word.

While communing with an object, you may learn its PROPERTIES or issue COMMANDS. An object will not automatically obey COMMANDS. As a Speaker, you must convince objects to work with you. Objects that recognize you as their Speaker can be used and communed with at will. When commanding objects, you can use their ABILITIES or ask them to take reasonable ACTIONS.

As you progress, you may advance into a Technopath.

Current limitations unknown.

You are a Quick Learner. From your scrappy nature, you have honed an advantage when picking up skills, spells, and languages.

Practice makes perfect.

Due to magical hijinks as a youth involving a bull and a bottle of rum, you can go between the "male" and "female" form.... Which aren't that different from each other. Outwardly, you could be described as a beautiful kobold or a handsome kobold.

You have developed a generally indifferent bi-gender nature, but you tend to lean male.

Your form is determined by your mood really.

C) I have to... There are monsters that need catching and treasures that need looting. In this world of magic, it would be a dishonor to let any artifact lay forgotten in a hoard, with no one to enjoy its majesty.

Literally, I presume.

Best companion:
Um...the Blanket.

Why wake up:
You were told to grow up, so you will. You will grow very big. The biggest. Then YOU will be everyone's Blanket.

The Snare, so often overlooked

to experience life

C) The Toy
A) Experiencing life is a joy! Have some whimsy, you guys!

The Toy
You have to.

The Snare - some things you gotta snatch and never let go!

And because you have to. Who else will?

The blanket

To fulfill a promise

Toy
Experience life

>>1124808
Changing my second vote to A) To experience life... because that seems a lot more fun.

B - because imagine throwing a hand in someone's face, even literally.

You turn your head to face the source of the bright water. A stream pours in from a hole around the rocks. You're in a cavern of sorts. Small crystaline fixtures grow on the rocks.

A magispring? Never seen one in person before. They're usually heavily guarded state secrets.

Your name is GRAGGLE. You think. You don't remember if you had a last name. Which is troubling.

When you try to recall more of your past, the visuals feel faded. Or simply blank. Just as waterlogged as you are in this magispring. Though your general knowledge seems to be intact.

That's... Kind of terrifying!

You know you're an adventurer at least. Straight out of mage college.

You haul yourself out of the soothing water as you ponder your present situation. A blanket water envelops you in a comforting embrace.

Besides your head, your body feels great. Energized even.

Right! Everything here looks like they did in the textscrolls. There's a faint glow emitting from the rocks, the water, the flora, etc.

Magisprings are the richest sources of magi after all. Everything here should be packed with ultra-deluxe-magi-nutrients. The water itself would be the most valuable to collect, since magi can be carried in its most potent concentration in water, but the crystals would be easier to haul.

You could make a fortune off of one crystal alone!

YOU CANNOT GO ON LIKE THIS! WHERE ARE YOUR CLOTHES?! YOUR OBJECTS?!

YOUR DIGNITY?!?!!!

.... You are naked, afraid, and hopefully alone.

Search the pool for objects.

Ask the rocks if they've seen your clothes.

If I had to guess, you probably fell from that waterfall if you woke up down here. Your clothing might be up there. Might wanna start climbing

>>1124961
Fashion a loincloth out of these magigrasses.

>>1124961
We're lucky there's no one to see our shame, but an Objectspeaker is never alone! Let's have a chat with the local plants, invite them to weave themselves into a loincloth to keep our private parts private. And maybe some wrist and ankle bands to help us climb that cliff with their root-laying talents. They've spent their whole lives in this cave, I bet they'd love to see the world with us!

Wait, does that mean there's always someone around to see us naked? No, no, don't think about that, instead think about that conspicuous dirt mound next to us. What's up with that? It's probably got something interesting buried in it!

Well look around, do you see anywhere your gear could be… or even just an exit since you’ll need to leave eventually.

Okay! Now that you got that out of your system, you can focus on the task at hand.

>Let's have a chat with the local plants

Sadly not. Plants don't consider themselves objects, so you can't talk to them. You'd need plantspeak or a druid on-hand. It's a weird technicality.

>Fashion a loincloth out of these magigrasses.

You pluck all the magigrasses in the area to fashion a rudimentary loincloth.

It kind of does the job.

(Now you're self conscious about your body).

>Check 'secret' pocket

It's not an area you would like to stash things in. Or the other place. But having something is better than nothing. You take a deep breath before bending forward to check.

Your flexible spine lets you get all the visuals you need...

You find nothing.

Not sure if you should feel relieved or not.

You dunk your head into the pool to search for your stray objects. Even with your superior kobold vision, you do not spy anything familiar. A tinge of sadness grows in your chest.

However! You spot what seems to be a hole among the rocks. A possible exit?

>... you probably fell from that waterfall if you woke up down here. Your clothing might be up there.

You look back up towards the source of the stream. Falling from there would make the most sense. But why? Did you slip while on a quest? Why wouldn't your party rescue you?

Either way, the rocks look slick and too dangerous to climb. You might break your neck if you fall again.

You wander around the cavern, lost, turning rocks here and there. Nothing calls out to you.

You're starting to get anxious again.

You crouch down to talk to the rocks in Animus.

GRAGGLE: *Hi there! Have you seen my clothes?*
STRAY ROCK: ~&. W&~ !=( Y~U ?

Oh no... You realize you do not speak the NATURAL RESOURCE dialect.

You turn your attention to one of the crystals above to test if you can understand it.

Jeez. You can't understand what it's saying, but it has a mean tone to it. You shake your head to show you do not agree with its rudeness.

You do eye the dirt curiously. Digging in the dirt with your bare claws pleases you.

You uncover.. a brick! Your tail wags in excitement.

GRAGGLE: *Hi! Hello.*
LONE BRICK: Hiiiii. Nice to meet ya.

YESSSS!!!

You remember now. Your Animus dialect is ARTIFICIAL.

A brick? you must be inside a well. Ask the brick if its from a well

Hold it up to your ear to call for rescue.

Actually, instead ask it why someone would bury it

Underground swimming can be dangerous, but the other option of climbing is also dangerous. How long can you hold hour breath, and how well do you see in the dark?

As a mage, do you have any basic utility cantrips like Light?

Might as well ask how they got here. Too bad they wouldn't have seen how you did, being buried and all.

Can objects talk to you when they're underwater? Can you talk to them?

>>1125242
Ask if it's seen any other Artificial objects around.

Ask how long they’ve been here.

Befriend the brick and get as much intel as possible about where you are. Also it probably didn't see your clothes on account of getting buried but it might have heard something.

Also start learning to speak Natural Resource because it seems like it would be super useful all the time.

>>1125242
Ah, we can talk to artificial objects. Does that include the loincloth we just made? Let's ask it to cling tightly to our body. We don't want to lose it like we lost our other clothes!

Hello, brick! How did it get buried like that? Is there anything else in the pile with it? Did it hear anything interesting while it was down there?

>How long can you hold your breath?

You can hold your breath for half an hour. Which can be improved. It's a good trick to have for certain activities.

>how well do you see in the dark?

You can see silhouettes and other closer details. It's harder looking at things at a the distance and colors tend to be more muted.

>As a mage, do you have any basic utility cantrips like Light?

When you think about it hard enough, the knowledge comes to the front of your mind.

You know Light and Mending.

>Can objects talk to you when they're underwater? Can you talk to them?

Sadly, no. You have to be able to hear each other for your magic to work. Somatic activation and all that.

>start learning to speak Natural Resource

You can recognize the sounds that are also spoken by Artificial objects, so it's all about picking up the pattern and verbage. With the help of Quick Learner, if you talk to enough Natural Resource objects, you'll slowly decode the language.

Your Magigrass Loincloth recognizes you as its Speaker. It follows the COMMAND and immediately tightens around you.

You feel... very secure. Heat rushes into your head as the Lone Brick stares at you with a knowing eye.

Also, you inherently glean a sense of the Loincloth's ABILITIES.

You may ask it to cast Thorn Whip.

This sounds like a QUEST. A proper heroic mage does QUESTS. It's the least we can do for helping us find an exit that's not underwater. Brick's owner is probably somewhere in these tunnels where we might run into her anyways, and a cooperative and dangerously weighted animated object will be useful if we get in a fight.

For the time being at least, although you may need to stash them to retrieve later if the going gets too tough.

Ask them if they would mind being used a blunt weapon or tool if the need arises.

Take the quest

Cheeki bricky here is a good fellow, and it's not like we are doing much right. Let's go find these adventurers!


....also, why do wear a loincloth for, man? You are a reptile! Your body has in-built modesty.

Let's talk to the tunnel and ask what's in it.

>>1125403
Sure, we can help our little brick friend find the dwarf lady. It's no trouble at all. We just need to retrace its steps, and we'll be closer to both our goals. If we show her the magispring, she might even help us get our old gear!

Things are looking up for Graggle. We've got a new loincloth to keep our special spots secure, a friendly brick to guide our way, and a warning about potential adversaries. A six-legged scavenger, and a group of three large and experienced enemy adventurers. We'll need to be wary of them.

What else can we talk to here? The magispring would remember us falling in, and the boulder might be able to tell us when it was last moved. The cave entrance must have been open when the brick was buried, and closed when we woke up; how did the boulder get there?

for MAGI LOINCLOTH's sake, don't get an erection!!!!! unless its into that sort of thing.

yeah, we can help find her, but AFTER we find some better clothes

dont worry MAGI LOINCLOTH, we'll still wear you as undergarments. We won't throw you away.

>>1125423
Objectspeakers must get really attached to their clothes. That must be why Graggle learned Mending to upkeep them.

>Accept Brick's Quest
>A proper heroic mage does QUESTS

GRAGGLE: *Yes, no problem. I'll help you out!*
GRAGGLE: *Hopefully, I find my clothes first.*
LONE BRICK: Really?
LONE BRICK: I mean, thank ya, good buddy!
LONE BRICK: Ya've really put my soul at ease.
GRAGGLE: *Eh, it's what heroic mages do.*
GRAGGLE: *Though would you mind helping me out too?*
GRAGGLE: *In case I need to hit something?*
LONE BRICK: Buddy, Graggle, I got ya.

Brick will follow your COMMANDS as best as they can. They can hop, jump, and hurl themself at targets when requested. Brick currently has no special ABILITIES.

You feel soothed by gaining another object friend.

>A six-legged scavenger, and a group of three large and experienced enemy adventurers. We'll need to be wary of them.
>Maybe a six legged thing stole your gear.

That would make sense. You'll have some strong words to say to the scavenger if it did run off with your precious objects! How sad, to think they're all buried in the dirt around here.

The enemy adventurers are a different story... You have little combat experience. Being fresh and all. Mages aren't meant to be fighting at the front!

>for MAGI LOINCLOTH's sake, don't get an erection!!!!! unless its into that sort of thing.
>....also, why do wear a loincloth for, man? You are a reptile! Your body has in-built modesty.

AHHHHH! Considering your situation, you can't find yourself in the mood to suddenly pop a boner. That would be embarrassing... Though it is not unheard of for Objectspeakers to have intimate relationships with their objects. You vaguely recall how other mages will derogatorily refer to Objectspeakers as a masturbatory class.

Also, while your modesty may be built in, you are sensitive to your nakedness! You're vulnerable! Objectless! It is an Objectspeaker's worst fear and the height of humiliation. If they were not taken from you, then that would mean they left you! A sad and miserable fate that shows how friendless and lonely you are....

Ehem.

GRAGGLE: *Thank you for your service, Loincloth. You're a real one.*
GRAGGLE: *And I won't throw you away.*
MAGI LOINCLOTH: Aww. You're buttering me up.
MAGI LOINCLOTH: Heheh.
MAGI LOINCLOTH: I can do a lot more than hold on.
GRAGGLE: *I'm sure.*

EHEM...

>Talk to the tunnel

Your mind has yet to comprehend how the tunnel could be an object, so when you attempt to speak to it, nothing happens. A shame.

>Talk to the magispring

The magispring is a similar result, you attempt to collect some of it to hold in your hand in an object-like fashion before greeting it. Nothing happens. You suppose liquids follow a different technicality.

>Talk to the boulder

GRAGGLE: Hello?
SMALL BOULDER: GR((/*NG_, _%(!K(R ~# ~$J(^/_.

Based on its tone, the boulder is very polite.

GRAGGLE: Sorry for bothering you.
SMALL BOULDER: * +(R()Y _)((%.

You nod politely back before it deanimates.

>skulk down these tunnels

It's a tight fit, you have to crouch and crawl through the tunnel with Brick hopping after you. You feel drafts from other tunnels and skittering sounds that you do not wish to encounter.

When you make it to the other side, you find yourself at a split pathway.

Bright light comes from the entrance to the left, likely from more of the magispring water flowing through this cavernous place. Perhaps a proper stream?

To your right, the pathway is dark and seems to lead into a rocky turn, but you can hear a sprinkling sound from within. It reminds you of the college gardens being watered.

Where do you go?

>>1125612
The brightly lit area feels more like somewhere adventurers would go to get water or set up camp. Let's see what's in the dark area, first. It could be the scavenger's den.

>>1125612
Our current priorities include avoiding dangerous adventurers, retrieving our clothes from this cave-dwelling thief, and staying out of sight until we're less exposed. All of those point us to the darker passage.

Wait, there's something strange about the shadows. In the lower left corner of the entrance to the right, there's something in front of the cave border. Is it moving?

>>1125612
Enter the darkness...

stay sneaky, dark path

Dark path

you're a kobold right, can you do something like sniff the ground to detect smells

>The brightly lit area feels more like somewhere adventurers would go to get water or set up camp.

That sounds right! To your newbie adventuring sense that is. Best to stay sneaky for now and visit that area when you feel more prepared.

>sniff the ground to detect smells

You crouch down to sniff for possible passerby and realize that you're not very good at tracking! You do detect a fishy smell wafting from the bright area, then an earthy scent along the ground, and what must be damp foliage coming from the darker pathway. All intriguing in their own ways. You mumble to Brick your findings, since you have to have a continuous conversation with Brick to maintain their animation.

>Wait, there's something strange about the shadows....

Oh, huh. Now that you're looking closely... There seems to be a slender shape that blends with the darkness. Is that fur? Multiple limbs?

LONE BRICK: THE SCAVENGER!!

You scramble to your feet and sprint in the scavenger's direction as it scampers away.

GRAGGLE: Come back here! Thief!!

You lose it in the darkness... But find yourself in a new chamber.

There's grasses under your feet and trees that rise high up into the swallowing darkness. A more jungle-like terrain compared to the other area. Two small magipools provide dim light within.

You make out other shapes within this dark chamber and..

Oh! Dungeon Custodians! Also known as slimes. How cute.

You watch the source of the sprinkling sound, struck by momentary wonder, and identify a slime variant known as a Drain Slime. Despite its name, Drain Slimes only appear in dungeons with magisprings, where they take in the water and distribute it throughout the dungeon. Never seen one in person before. They're quite large!

There's also normal slimes around. The ones that clean up waste and digest them in their acidic bodies.

Hmmm.. That confirms you are inside a dungeon. But why? How?

Oi! That one has a waterskin in it! Time to see if you're sneaking enough to extract it without upsetting too many slimes

>>1125719
>why? how?
Probably because you went in, in search of loot?
Acquire waterskin.

Try talking to the square rock there.

Oooh try talking to a tree!

Make sure you talk to your loincloth also to keep it alive.

Get the waterskin. Can you call out to it and ask it to leap out of the slime?

you should hug a slime

>>1125720
We don't need to stick our hand in acid. Just ask the waterskin to swim itself out.

retrieve arms from slime

I mean

retrieve waterskin from slime

>>1125719
Dungeon slimes... were we going on a dungeon dive when we came here? Or were we kidnapped and brought here? Or did a dungeon somehow form around us while we were sleeping? What makes a place a dungeon?

Well, that can wait. Now we've got grass, trees, vines, and other new natural resources to talk to! After that run, let's lay down on the grass and ask it which way that furry thief went. We could even translate for our Magi Loincloth if they'd like to chat.

There's also another of those dirt piles. Can't forget that! And I see something at the far side of the room, just past the light patch.

>>1125739
Remember, plantspeech is a Druid wheelhouse. Magiloincloth works because we fashioned something out of it first, thus making it an object.

Wait if we turn a natural object into a “manmade” one, do they retain their memories of when they were natural, or do they lose it? Similarly, can artificial objects speak natural if they were only recently manmade?

>>1125783
I think if they retained their 'memories', things made of organic materials would be a bit ticked off at being killed to be made into items and tools. It's more likely that they only begin accumulating psychic essence as 'objects' when they become such.
