Hold my hand
Ooh, baby, it's a long way down to the bottom of the river
Hold my hand
Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down
If you get sleep or if you get none
The cock's gonna call in the morning, baby
Check the cupboard for your daddy's gun
Red sun rises like an early warning
The Lord's gonna come for your first born son
His hair's on fire and his heart is burning
So go to the river where the water runs
Wash him deep where the tides are turning

This group is getting a little big. We'll probably need to seperate into teams to decrease attention and find Azerite faster.

Also, didn't the Pagans use blood ravens as messengers?

>Blood Ravens ?
No you use Blood Crows...Do you ? Wait whats the difference between a crow and a raven ?

>Bring the others
Gallows: Of course, all of the heads should come to see this.

You go back inside to inform Pensword and leave a few pagans in charge of the rest. Inside the train furnished in purple velvet, Hakim starts the train up and suddenly the train is flying through a swirling void.

Hakim: This train used to belong to some poor sap who bet it could out run a Lowa. It was just a normal train then but after he lost that bet it traded hands over hundreds a years. Finally after a game of Uno and a few cards hidden in my sleeve I came into possession of it 'bout 10 years ago, with enough work and a whole lotta deals I made it the way it is now.

Hakim: The Phantom Express is basically invisible when it's driving and it's silent unless someone pulls the fucking horn GALLOWS.

Gallows: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hakim: But it's not perfect: it can't cross bodies of water, strong enough magic detection will find it, and it can only make 2 or 3 trips a day. I want you to understand this thing's limits if we're going to be using it.

The train stops in front of small cave after about 10 or 15 minutes a small walk inside leads you to an elevator that leads down into a large chamber lined with gold.

Gallows: So this is the Gilded Cage, If you need it explained more then go up to the red curtain.

After the initial shock of coming across a room of gold you do as Gallow's says and head for the red curtain. The curtain opens to a tall man sitting behind a desk.

Admin: Ah the stage is set, the game has- Oh wait I already did that didn't I ? Hello there! You must be a new addition to the red team. Excellent, a bigger team will make this easier for us.

The tall man who calls himself The Administrator explains the whole concept of the game to you, the enemy team and the reward for winning.

Admin: Now that that's all cleared up, do you need anything else explained to you ?

Is there an easier way to find Azurite? It's pretty fucking hard to find!

And if the other Head Pagans have any questions, I think they should ask them!

Well we should obviously run this info by this "Killboss" lady. She sounds like the leader of all of the Pagans. Or she's someone that's really important and knows lots of info. Either way, she's gonna want to know about this.

What did you do to deserve this punishment?

>How long after the game ends does the world reset?
Admin: Instantly, after the last orb of azerite is deposited into the World-Kiln the world will restart right away.

>Killing you or destroying your Gilded Cages ?
Admin: Hehehe. You cannot kill me and you cannot destroy The Gilded Cage, sure you can try but It would get you nowhere. This place has the power to restart the world, do you really thing YOU can destroy it ?

>Killing the enemy team ?
Admin: Well you're going to have to kill some of them during the game, but the objective of the game is to collect azerite. It's not just an arbitrary win condition like kicking a ball into a net, the azerite is what will power the World-Kiln and start the world renewal process. Killing the enemy will set them back, but you could kill 80% of their team and as long as they collect that last orb you'll lose.

>Is there a way to resurrect Athmoor ?
Admin: Not that I know of, unfortunately.

>What did you do to deserve this punishment? How could we absolve you of it?
Admin: What I did is not important, just now it was enough for me to deserve this confinement. My punishment was a voluntary choice, I realized the suffering I had caused and decided that I must atone; the same goes for my sister. I don't think we'll ever forgive ourselves, and if we do then we'll never stop doing our job.

>What will Happen to the Aether and the crossroads when this world is remade?
Admin: The Crossroads will still exist, the Lowa keep it afloat and I have no jurisdiction over them, and as long as you pagans keep your knowledge of summoning and demons the Aether will still be there for you.

>If we defeated the enemy team, collected 20 Azerite Spheres, and put the last sphere in each room at the same time, what would happen?
Admin: If that did happen then the world would reset with no winner. Everybody would cease to exist, besides me and my sister have planted the orbs for you and your teams to find there are only 16 Orbs out there and they're hidden well.

Admin: Is there anything else ? or do you have other business to tend to ?
>>

What about Prophets and the gods inhabiting their bodies? Does anything happen to them when the world resets?

Or if a Prophet is on the winning team, then what would happen to their god? Because it would be a little odd for a Prophet to win and become a god while they still have their god inside of them.

>>840713
Admin: Then there will be a small stalemate, the orbs of Azerite are stored in the World-Kiln until all ten are deposited and it activates. If their team finds your base or you find their base then you'll have to be sneaky and find a way inside to steal it,

Admin: Or you can search for azerite we didn't plant, there's still veins and shards out there maybe you can find enough.

>Prophets ?
Admin: Anything inside the Gilded Cage when you win will survive. Your gods will be fine as long as their prophets are fine. If Gallows wishes to make them full fledged gods again he may.

You feel like you should contact Killboss about what you've found here.

Administrator: I do recommend using my Gilded Cage as a base of operations. It has all of the amenities necessary for comfortable living. Bedrooms, Bathrooms, Kitchens, It's not called gilded for nothing.

You decide to contact Killboss about using the place as a main base of operations but not before you start being Gallows again.

Flint: Of all the things to be down here I did not expect this. Well now we have goal, and a way to put an end to the Church. Just wait 'til Killboss hears about this.

Flint: And I didn't forget about teaching you new things, having other head summoners here will help too. You're going to need it since you're leader of red team and all.

Flint warps off somewhere along with the other head pagans. For now all you can do is wait 'til they get talk with Killboss, you don't want to go anywhere too far in case the Church is on alert after it's raids. Your other friends are doing different things in the Gilded Cage if you want to talk to them.

>Issei and Troy
They took the elevator down to explore other parts of the Gilded Cage.

>Uma and Hakim
They're talking in the main chamber of the Gilded Cage.

>Fiddler Imp
As long as you can play a tune you can summon Fiddler.

You're not sure he can move from that spot behind the curtains.

I feel we should tell Ada about this.
We should also see about visiting the Aether sometime.
We will need to preserve the entire city of Unter. If the Guilded hall isn't capable, we'll have to figure some way of transporting it or it's inhabitants to the aether.

Ada and Unter should be warned as soon as possible. Unless we Slay the other team, they have a limited amount of time to prepare, and we don't know if we can manage that.

No. 840830 ID: 13fded

I think we can conclude the other team are influential members of the Church. From what we heard from priests the gods are worshiped because they are powerful and give power to their followers. I could be wrong, but I believe that for those people to try to restart the world and become gods is a betrayal to their deities.
If they are willing to go this far it's not impossible that they will try to recruit allies from communities that were condemned by the church. We should establish a deal with the leadership of the voodoo communities and the heads of the arcamagicians before the church got a chance and let they think they have the upper hand to so they don't feel the need to make peace with old enemies.

Wouldn't hurt to inform our little imp friend about what's going on either. Who knows, he might have some ideas where we can find the next azerite piece.

And before anyone forgets, Hakim mentioned there was another door that needed azerite to open. Might be a good idea to check that out later.

You summon Fiddler Imp and fill him in on the current situation.

Fiddler: I'd say you was fulla hot air, but it's sorta hard to doubt it when I'm standin' in a room made 'a solid gold.

Fiddler: So...dat means da lounge was torn down too huh ? Dat's a damn tragedy, You ain't dead doe so, It ain't so bad.

You head to the elevators with Fiddler. Troy and Issei went to the second lowest floor, the first lowest being where the World-Kiln is.

A lot of the doors are barred up, after some walking you find Issei and Troy standing in front of a door, Troy's out of breath for some reason.

You: Hey you two, what's going on ?

Issei: troy's been trying to open this door for a while now, but for some reason he refuses to try to enter the code on the wall.

Troy: Because that's too obvious! I know a trap when I see one! I can just break this damn thing down if I needa !

When you go to investigate the machine again the screen inside is no longer lit, there's no scanning or anything. It's too big to move or do anything with. You decide to move on with Issei and Troy to investigate more of the rooms but a lot of them are empty or locked. There isn't much to investigate on this level of the Cage so you decide to head back up.

The Administrator pulls his curtains back to speak to you.

Admin: So you opened one of those locked doors huh ? Sometimes people from previous games leave things in my cage and I'm too lazy to clean them out. A lot of the time's they are helpful but I've never seen any of them myself. The lower layers get shed away every time a world resets and a new one is added on top, so I just let the older rooms waste away.

You can maybe do one more thing before you'll go to bed.

>Uma and Hakim
They're talking in the main chamber of the Gilded Cage.

>Fiddler Imp
He's hanging out in the cage marveling at the golden walls.

>The Administrator
You're not sure he can move from that spot behind the curtains.

>Just go to bed
It's been a long day.

I'm tempted to say that we should find out more about our newest ally. Let's see what Hakim is up to, but if he's busy reuniting with Uma it can wait till tomorrow.

Shouldn't we actually find out more about Fiddler Imp's old master, from Flint or whoever? Also I think we can upgrade him again now, don't we have two priest items?

Well Flint isn't here right now so we can't ask him.

But, yeah, we should get on that real soon because if the world resets, then whatever info we're looking for about that guy will end up being erased!

>2 Priest Charms?
No, I don't think so. I think the only one we've got was the Priest Charm Knife we found in Barleyville in the safe under the abandoned house.

You decide to speak Hakim and Uma. You're a little hesitant to speak to guy who's ordered your death on multiple occasions, but you're sure he's harmless as long as Uma's here. The two are sitting on a bench off to the side of the chamber speaking to each other.

Uma:...There are 4 choices A.) 25% B.)50% C.) 60% and D.) 25%. What are the odds of you picking the right answer at random ?

Hakim:...50% cause there are two 25%'s right ? Or wait... maybe it's just 25% regardless ?

You: Hi Uma, Hakim. What're you two doing ?

Uma: Asking Hakim dumb questions to see if he get's them right

Hakim: I can't be 60%...can it ?

Uma: Did you wanna ask us something ?

i was thinking about the voodoo community, what are they like and how should we approach them, but it all can wait. I love dumb questions.
Since both 25% and 50% are possible right answer you have 75% chance of picking a right answer by chance.

It's 0%. None of the listed answers are right so you have to give one of your own, which isn't a random choice so it still counts as valid.

Ask how they met. And what voodoo is like.

>>
No. 841274 ID: 9b80a5

we should probably put these on a to do list:

go get Ada,
Ada (and possibly their people) could be amazing help if they are willing to help us with their magic tech especially as they now have to pick a side or they will get wiped from existence soon and i HIGHLY doubt that they want to help the church

get the rest of the shadow men:
sense haikim is with us, and i don't think they actual hate or are that mad, as for the majority of the people they have sent after you you have let live, though issei may have objections to a few of them cause they may be corrupt

get resources and info on the church:
oh and we cant forget that troy had a lot of contacts, we could use that to get info on the church's movements, azerite, and also they could be a supplier of resources like weapons ammo and summoning supplies for going to full blown war with the church

tell me if im forgetting anything

Honestly, you're wondering when they're going to screw you over. Sure, the odds of them defecting to the blue team of backstabbing self-righteous rubes is pretty low, but there can be only one Overgod, and Hakim's been playing the protagonist role in his story for decades. How long until he decides to take center stage by force? Well, you'll wait. And you'll be ready. Right?

Of course, you're not going to say any of this. You're going to pick E)Boobs.

>How do you two know each other ?
Hakim: A while back I saw Gya rip apart a couple of thugs in a back alley, she showed up a few times in Itsdin doing who know's what. She seemed capable so I decided to hire her to help me despite her attitude. She stayed in our hideout

Hakim: The next day I checked in on her and it was like she was a different person, all of that murderous rage and childish sadism was gone. That's when I met Uma. I decided to keep Gya employed to make sure I could keep an eye on Uma, I had no idea what a prophet god was capable of doing to her.

>What's voodoo like ?
Hakim: It's not really as spiritual as Paganism seems. It's less religious and more a technique to tricking Lowa out of their stuff, sure you need knowledge in rituals and spirits to make it work but all in all its mostly talking, bartering, or cheating if you can get away with it. The voodoo community isn't as closely connected as pagans, lots of voodoo users keep to themselves or have small groups to follow them.

>Tracking the dead
Hakim: Well it'd be hard, I'm more used to tracking living people but I'm sure I could find a dead person if I got a belonging. But doing this will destroy whatever I use.

>Karas' Card
Hakim: A human mind soul and body trapped in a portable object ? Oh boy what I couldn't get for that! There are plenty of Lowa who'd kill for one of those. I can barter some important information out of them with that and maybe more.

>I'm sure I could find a dead person if I got a belonging. But doing this will destroy whatever I use.
Crap. Guess we can't do that then, we need the violin to summon Fiddler Imp. And I'm sure Fiddler Imp wouldn't want us to destroy the violin.

>Could do lots of stuff with Karas.
Well, he's a Priest and, according to Issei, he's rotten enough to deserve whatever happens to him.

But Flint still has Karas, so Hakim will have to wait for him to get back before he can do whatever he's gonna do.

I'd ask Hakim what kinda info he'd get? Locations of Azurite or something else that could help us out?

Let's ask Uma when she met Gya and how long ago that was?

No. 841390 ID: 13fded

For Hakim:
Can he tell us about that Lowa we saw? What are the terms of this deal he have little time to fulfill? What is he competing with Gallows? How can one of us be more just than the other if we have the same objective and are working together?

For Uma:
It's great to have someone intelligent around, but we hadn't many opportunities for mutant fish fights and she doesn't seem prepared for conventional fights. Does she want to keep risking her life with us or would she prefer to wait in the Gilded Cage?

Riddle:
As I was going to the fair, I saw a man with golden hair. He had 3 sons each with another one. How many people were going to the fair?

You hand Hakim the music sheet. You've memorized it anyway.

Hakim: ...Yeah this should work, I'll see what I can do but it won't work right away. You'll have to wait a little.

>Does Uma want to stay in the Gilded Cage ?
Uma: Well...It sorta seems like you don't need me outside, I can stay here if you want me to. And if you do need me later you'll know where I am.

>>841386
Hakim: Well probably not, we'll have to see how the negotiations go. I'm good but I ain't a miracle worker.

>Short and Slim
Hakim: They're just fine, in fact I still need to check back with them soon. Getting the Shadowmen situated here might be a good idea.

Would giving him a name help? If so, then I guess we can tell him we're looking for Mason Anthem and his pagan name was Mojo.

>And if you do need me later you'll know where I am.
Actually, there's still 2 things that she's gotta do. She should go visit that bug museum, because she might not get another chance to do so, and she should go warn her friends and family about the end of the world.

Obviously, we wouldn't send her out alone. So who should we send with her?

>Well probably not, we'll have to see how the negotiations go. I'm good but I ain't a miracle worker.
"If you can't locate all of the Azurite we need, then at least try to get a location on some of it or at the very least a location of 1 orb."

Maybe ask him if we should try looking behind that door he said he found in Itsdin?

>Itsdin Door.
Hakim: Of course we'll have to check the door, last time I looked though it was locked. We can go in the morning.

The Administrator opens the curtains to his cage again.

Admin: Yes that was a door I created for when the game started. I remember exactly where I put it too. Since you've already started the game I might as well unlock if or you...there.

Admin: I forgot what I put down there, but I'm sure it's something meaningful or else I wouldn't have made the room.

You feel like you've enough for today, it's time to go to bed. The Administrator points you to a free room for you to sleep in. Inside the room has the same golden color scheme as the rest of the Cage; there's a closet, a desk, and a bathroom in the back. The first thing you do is make a list of what you should do next. Of course you're going to look for azerite but gaining more resources will make it easier.

>Ada and the Unter
You're sure you can get some help from Ada if you show her what you found here.

>The Door
The Door Hakim found must have something behind it.

It's only two things but they're important.

That saves us the trouble of finding Azurite to unlock it!
