The troubled-looking man stands up and clutches his hat back to his head.

>>48934
Grope him.

>>48934

LICK. HIS. EYE.

>>48934
Do nothing for the moment. He's angry now, that's a quick, reflex reaction. If we draw this out, we can turn it to fear.
We know his name, too. If he goes into the room with the chalkboard, we can use that. You're tangible enough to write, right?

Keep arms-length away from him. Wait until he sheathes his blade again.

Pick up the axe, then drop it.

Try yelling ghost sounds in his ear. Make sure to watch for his sword.

>>48944

Kick him forwards into the room.

Bonus points: Your foot passes through his skin and you kick him in the organs.

Let him get complacent.

Lick his eye.

Actually, kick him right in the pooper.

The axe is slotted into its holder, so I can't get enough force to lift it, but I can still rattle it.
The intruder's walked back into the hall, but I think he hears it anyway.
>"I told'a boss this guy was buh... bad news."

Pick up one of the pebbles and throw it into his eye.

Kick him in the ass, as hard as you can. Hopefully he'll fall in.

Chalkboard! See if you can manipulate the chalk well enough to write "Die, Nino." That's his name, by the way, we're pretty sure.

...or perhaps... one of the Kobolds?

>>48983
Write as screetchily as possible.
"I AM COMING FOR YOU, " and his name, whatever that was.

>>48983
GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT

Really fast, over and over again, until he leaves.

>>48983
Well, if it's not too much effort: "LEAVE, NINO, AND GO BACK TO DROWNING YOUR SORROWS"

If that works, it looks like someone else invisible wants you to write a message to them.

Well done Finesse. I would give you a cookie if I weren't just one of an infinite number of voices trapped in a shard and you weren't an invisible weakling. We should probably fix one or both of those problems. Both preferably. Then I could definitely give you a cookie.

Draw a dick on the chalkboard.

Well, Nino's gone, but I'm still no closer to figuring how to cure this thing. If it doesn't wear off over time, I'm in trouble.
I don't even know where the others are.

Using our enhanced ability of PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY, we have procured this mental image for you.

Okay sue us, we're not that gifted in the "clarity" department.

Uhm...looks like the 'bolds need you to get some sort of herb I think.

>>49007
Well, now that you're in the chalk room, let's leave a message for Muschie. Gotta be simple due to our restrictions.
'WE ARE HERE. POTION WENT WRONG. HELP.'

If anyone can think of anything else that's not Shakespeare-length, though...

All right, lets get to business. It seems Tislomer asked for you to get some herb and make a potion or something on the chalkboard before we erased the stuff.

What I don't understand is that she put you with a plus sign with the herb. What goblin bits are well known ingredients that aren't painful or crippling to remove, like hair or something?

Otherwise, if there is no such ingredient to your knowledge, we can assume she just meant for you to put some herb into a potion glass.

>>49007
you erased the cure silly. Didn't you LOOK at the chalkboard?

The herb on the chalkboard... it looked sort of like these Mimwit sprigs. I gave some to Babrakus the other day, he said he had a toothache.

Why does it say Me + Mimwit sprigs...?
Should I...?

Take a little nibble, the others might need it. Unless you have plenty already, then smoke that shit.

>>49025
Don't eat the whole thing. Nibble on a leaf or two.

>>49025
Yes, rub it against your tits for maximum effect.

Maybe you can communicate with everyone using the chalkboard.

You could drop your part of the shard into his coat pocket or something like that. We could fill him in on the subject.

>>49056
SMACK DAT FOO'!

>>49056
Try and turn his head or something. I dunno. Not much else we can do but hope.

>>49056
No wait, better. THROW CHALK AT MUSCHIO. THROW EVERYTHING AT MUSCHIO UNTIL HE TURNS THE FUCK AROUND.

pelt him with something in the back of the head.

>>49056

...I don't think our master is right in the head at the moment.

>>49060
Second throwing objects at Muschie. We need to make his head turn.

And... aw, that's kind of sweet. But he needs our attention. PRESSING MATTERS.

>>49057

Better yet. Hold the Shard to his nose or something. And then relay my previous post about the psychic trauma being turned into Mana to be expended in order to see you.

Or let us tell him to turn around, since I'm sure the boss can't handle the intricacy of magic.

...

We need a mage. We need to put that on a 'to do' list.

Swoon.

Just blurt out 'Fellatio' and then swiftly run and hide.

Also, Try to explain everything that's happened, and what might have happened to Ash.

Act indignified that Muschio was trying to grope you.

Explain what just happened. Give him hell for being so stupid. Storm out of room. Fantasise wildly for next few hours.

Well. That was an interesting series of events.

It seems Tislomer created some sort of ghosting-potion and both my new hire and my Tinker were too overcome with curiosity to avoid sampling it.
It seems, further, that Finesse managed to drive off a familiar intruder while I was asleep, even despite her limited powers. To this end I am impressed.
She seemed rather embarrassed over something or other, but it's likely the stress of her ordeals simply got to her. She quickly retreated to her room.
As for Ashedel, once we made the Mimwit sprigs available and made it clear they were the cure to her condition, she soon materialized as well. She's got her temporary quarters set up in the back tunnel.
Babrakus showed up too, and he's gone to bed.
And now I think I'm going to follow their example. it's been a long night and I'm still exhausted.
Tomorrow, there is much to be done.

...as a final note, it seems that Tislomer still hasn't materialized.
But I'm sure she'll turn up eventually.

she's watching you pee, Muschio.

>>49115

One can only hope.

d'awwwwwwwww

No she won't, simply because you said that. But lets go to bed anyway, not much we can do in any of our condition anyway.

Who knows, she might get Finesse's shard and start asking us for help too. With hunting and stuff while she's invisible. Nothing wrong with that. Some good ol' night hunting while we're invisible sounds pretty fun.
