Stop that! Stop that crying! You're better than that!

Quick, we need a hug, stat!

PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER, MAN! You won't save Sanya by crying about it!

But it's all my fault! I was the one who bought those potions, and Sanya drank the invisible potion, and I didn't know she got trapped back inside!

I know that because she told me about you... You're the Wisdom Stone, and are soul-bound to her. She can't take you off until something bad happens to her...

IT'S ALL MY FAULT! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

>>59237
I don't see any bodies. Sure, something happened, but we'll find Sanya together.

>>59237
It helped a lot more than you probably know. Now shut up and examine the area, crying is just going to waste valuable time... that could be needed to keep her alive.

>>59237
Uh... That's... Last time we saw her she was in a water pit. Does falling unconscious from lack of oxygen count as "something bad"? Look for water or damp stone. She must've been dragged off somewhere!

Shaddup and be a man. Are you going to let the fates decide what happens to your woman? Hell no you aren't.

It's not a map. It's just criss-crosses.

The Dorf interrupts. "Thar be da puzzle to open up da door thar!"

He explains that we should start by the top-left corner and make our way towards the bottom-right corner by jumping over color-alternating blocks.

(Leaving you with this VERY EASY puzzle for tonight. Yes, there can be multiple solutions to this puzzle.)

I'm going to guess that by colour-alternating blocks, you do not mean jumping over only blacks as the HOT PINK path indicates. At the end you've going WHITE WHITE WHITE WHITE, not White-Black-White-Black.

Eventually we figured out the solution to the puzzle, and as soon as the line connected the start and finish points, we hear some rusty gears turning around from behind.

The door slowly opens.

"Best be 'xtra careful thar, lad." The Dorf pulls out the axe that I just gave him before I equipped my bow and arrow. "Many Dorves just beyon' dat point. We hafta scratch some or mo'."

>>59586
Take a peek to see where everything is. We need a plan of attack.

>>59655

Knowing better not to go head-on, I look through the door.

There's a lone Dorf talking to some really strange beings. Something about their green skin makes me wonder if I've seen something like that before.

Don't sling the word attack around, imagine confronting a possessed king with an army of dorfs for reform.

And it appears they have tonberries, so lie back and watch.

Stand around a little and wait for them to leave? You can't exactly sneak by when they're in a cluster like that.

>>59709
Listen in and find out what they're talking about. Y'know, it would be really useful if we had someone invisible to do that.

>>59709
Well that explains part of why they arrested Dezzono. More tonberries. One of them's a Tonberry King, too... Something's up. Do not engage the tonberries; they probably have magic powers. Especially the King. Instead try to hear what they're talking about.

What are those? Are they delicious berries?

They begin to strike a conversation.

>"No... My Wisdom Stone is sensing him. Unless someone else is carrying the Essence of T.Lord..."
>"Sis! What if the Dorf King has Gezzono's company?"
>"Then he needs our help more."

>>59747
Holy fuck. We are time lords.

>>59747
The green guys are of the race called "Tonberry". Um, at least, I think they are; they look like the same race as Dezzono from this distance. It sounds like they're looking for him. We may have found some new allies! I'm not sure if you should kill the Dorf yet, or if it's even necessary. Is there anyone else around to the left or right of the door?

>>59752

...So who's Doctor Who?

>>59747
It sounds like they're also looking for Gezzono. Maybe we should try joining forces with them?

Stay back, you should keep still and prepare to move away if they look in your direction.

David Tennant, at least until early next year.

They are looking for Gezzono. My main priority right now is Sanya. I guess if they're really looking for him, then we'll cross paths sometime.

>>59758

On the left side is a door. The Dorf tells me that it leads to the kitchen, while the big hole on the front leads to the King's Chambers.

We can't take either paths without being seen by the trio right there.

Then listen and wait for them to move.

Hide behind the stairs and prepare to subdue.

I guess we have no choice but to reveal ourselves. Hiding when we're already spotted would only make us a bit suspicious.

We go through the door, but I wield my bow. I make sure not to make myself look like I'm about to strike, though.

> "Why ar' ya pullin' the bow, mah boi?"

"Sorry, but it's just my tendency not to trust strangers. If you're not here to hurt me, then I'll retract my bow."

> "Dat's not helpin' yar cause, then. Ya seem to be from da dungeon. Ar' ya a prisoner, tryin' to escape?"

Crap, crap, crap. What should I say?

>>59876
Say "No, I just answered your question, tell me who you are first."

>>59810
Say you were visiting your brother, who is a prisoner.

Also if you get a chance, show the green guys the orb of wisdom without the dorf seeing it.

>>59876
"Actually, we're here to get someone out. Gezzono, in fact. It sounded like you knew him?"
It's true enough, we did come here to find out what happened to Gezzono in the first place. It's not like we have nay idea where Sanya ended up, and if something did grab her, the prison is would be a likely place to take her.

"Actually, we're here to get someone out. Gezzono, in fact. It sounded like you knew him?"

Her face reveals her surprised expression, but she immediately retains her composure.

I have no choice but to show her the Wisdom Stone. She immediately takes a step back upon seeing it.

Gazzene looks astonished. "Gezzono's somewhere around here... And the only thing we haven't checked is the kitchen."

Check the... kitchen?

Wait, we've been checking rooms? What are we checking them for?

Wait for them. Seems like they've been looking for Gezzono for a while, wouldn't want to ruin their reunion. More people will help with the search for Sanya, too.
