From what I can see it's not a construct, but a natural creature with cybernetics. It's definitely limping. What do I do now?!

Aim for the head.

"I fully intend to shoot you if i think you're a threat. now what do you mean."

Ditch the coat.

Use the Drugs you got

>>41549
If it's limping, you may have a speed advantage. slowly start backing up, try to make it look like you are just drifting back without noticing.

And breathe, calm down, and relax.

>>41549
Don't shoot it, you're fucked if it lets go of the thing in it's hand.

>>41549
Take a deep breath. It obviously wants to talk, so calm yourself down and start dialoguing.

Retreat to a better lit area. Preferably one with a straight-line route for further retreat.

Also
"I like scavenging, sue me"

>>41549
It may be bluffing, but we may be better off assuming it's not. Back up, keep the gun levelled, and ask it... what it is. Where we are. What he means by that statement.

Lower the gun. Try to talk it down. It hasn't tried to kill us already, so let's try talking.

>>41577
That looks like a Grenade... You want to gamble the pin isn't out.

>>41584
Yeah, let's not gamble here at all. Let's assume the pin is out, definitely.

I keep the gun leveled at it's head and I can't breathe my respirator is choking me it gets closer to me I can see inside its mouth i realized I dropped my gun and my hand is in the air with nothing in it its teeth are MOVING and its got something in its hand as it leans down to talk to me:

He puts some kind of pin or something into the thing he's holding and shoves it onto his belt. There's not enough light here to do anything, though.

>>41677
Help him over to the glowing mushrooms, that we may treat him where we can see what is wrong.

>>41677

Ask if you can move to a better lit area. Or if he at least has a light. If he's against the idea just do the best you can.

We got two options, Go to the Glowy mushroom room or try to find a new place with light.

We now know it had the grenade rigged to blow if we killed it.

>>41677
... well, I suppose we could use the thing's favour, and it would be nice to find a use for our surgical talents.

It's (apparently) disarming its weapon, so there's no reason to not comply with its request.

See if you can find out more about it and this place in the process?

>>41677

"O-okay, but you h-have to come over to the light, I c-can't see in the dark well."

Then patch him up as best you can.

Oh, and put your coat back on when you get the chance, and put the revolver back in the pocket.

This should be done AFTER you have patched the sergal up enough that they at least are aware you are telling the truth about being a doctor.

Lead him back to a more well-lit area and give him a full examination, tell him you're going to put all your weapons down in the corner before doing so.

And then, you know, put the weapons down before examining him.

We're not a murderer yet, let's keep it that way as long as possible. We're a doctor, not a soldier. Hippocratic oath and all.

We get back to the room with the glowing mushrooms, where I treat his wounds, his leg is broken pretty badly, I'll try to keep him from moving around until I can find something to splint it with. He tells me we are in an old dwarven fortress, and that we can't get out the way he came in, because he set off a trap and closed the path off. That's also how he got injured. He points out the center tile on the hallway I was just in, and laughs when he looks at me. He laughs a lot. He says the "Kobolds" call him The Flesh Tearer, and that he's a terrorist. I'm not sure what all this is about. His real name is Heshka

(drawfag's gonna pass out soon)

>>41741
Huh. Ask him why he's a terrorist.

Might as well figure out the world's issues while we're patching him up.

He doesn't seem to care that I don't have any anesthetics either.

>>41761
Well that's cool.

>>41741

Ask him what happened to the dwarves here.

He's probably a terrorist in the X-Com sense. (IE: More running around and generally be a horrible terrifying monster that rips people in half)

Hope he doesn't eat you after you're done, if you can, see if he can help you out, maybe he has more information about this place.

>>41875
We should be somewhat save if we play our cards right.
What we're doing isn't exactly magical healing, so he'll need our medical attention for days or even weeks to come. Emma has to make sure he understands that.
But when he gets hungry and it's his time to feed, we should make sure he got a choice beside us.
What I'm saying is that we should look for some tasty cutebolds.

>>41878

That's looking a little too far ahead, although a good idea. So far we've pretty much just found corpses, with the exception of this fellow, so expecting to acquire a cutebold to feed the fellow is more of a goal than an action we can enact at this moment. Getting information, offering and hoping for services in exchange is something we can do now.

If we're hungry when that time comes, perhaps we could eat some cutebold too. I bet they'd taste pretty good. For now, let's see if this dude can give us the skinny on this place.

There are more rooms down the archway, I can go in a few of them. Most of the stuff around here is rusted or rotten away, but I find some peices of armor that look like they're in good condition, this really really heavy hammer that I can't drag anywhere, and a solid metal crossbow with some bone bolts in a box wrapped in oil cloth. There are some bottles of stuff, and a bag of golden discs. (final update for tohight)

>>44236
Pick up the golden discs (coins) and inspect them.

Replace the soap in your inventory with the golden disks.

Inspect the bolts. Are they strong enough to use as a splint?

Replace the gun in your inventory and the bullets with the crossbow and bolts. Given our weakness, it's probably a much wiser idea to use a relatively recoil-less weapon.

>>44236
Gold! Finally, a payoff!

Pocket the gold. Use the bone bolts for a splint for Heshka if you can. Also bring him a few of the bottles if you can. They're probably alcoholic.

I'm surprised the dwarves took as long as they did to die, with such inferior technology.

Dwarves are known to keep all kinds of old things in their Fortresses.

You're a doctor created for the purpose of exploring. It would make sense for you to have some sort of built-in chemical analyzer. If you do, analyze a sample of the fungus and see if it has any potential uses.

This thing's lodged in here too strongly, no matter how much I tug on it it's staying put. Heshka's leg is broken, he can barely walk, so he can't do it either.

Do you have anything, or see anything nearby you could use as a makeshift crutch? It's doubtful he has weeks to let the broken leg mend. Wrap it up if you can, and have him crutch about with you.

Up here is a room with a bunch of levers and two more corpses.

Heshka says he can eat anything if there's no meat available. I told him I can't find any meat.

rolled 1 = 1

>>45442
Pull one at random, from the left, ignoring the already-pulled one.

>>45442

Check the dead cutebold and the freshness of blood.

>>45442
Don't pull the fucking dark levers, those two are most likely dangerous. Maybe one of the green ones.
Very carefully investigate the flamethrower first.

>>45442
Let's... not pull levers at random for now, please.

Investigate corpses first.

DO NOT PULL LEVERS.

Investigate corpses.

The blood is just a stain at this point. Cause of death looks to be severe trauma to the chest area. The other skeleton appears to have burned to death.

His weapon is not functional, the tank is completely empty and a bit rusted. A rusted pressure vessel shouldn't be used.

That axe, however, is entirely functional, and looks reasonably small. You may want to carry it.

Pull leftmost lever.

Let's not pull the remaining black one, since black seems to represent doomsday.
