Tavern. We should go make friends with everyone!

...Or Shop if you want like a gun or something but you seem nice so you shouldn't need them too often.

Having fun there?

Hm. Yeah, it couldn't hurt to go see about equipment, maybe.

Armor's probably out unless it can split up like you can, so let's go with a good offense. Consumables are handier for you than most, with the reverting, so let's see what sort of one-use marvels militaries can come up with.

Shop first.

Let's go to the shop.

Shopping spree? Shopping spree.

Time to hop in a shop.

Time to hop in this place I know! It's called "Shop,". There's a comma at the end for some reason. The store just kinda showed up at some point when the lot was empty, and nobody's dared to try to remove it since then. I enter the doors and the shopkeeper deploys from behind the counter and puts their hands together.
"Greeting, fellow exister! Items are sold to you. Here? Please answer, in the negative, or suppository." They sway steadily from side to side.
"Suppository!"
"Would you like a free weapon for free?" Heck yeah!
"Suppository!" In one continuous motion, they unclasp their hands and grab something from behind the counter and hand me this FREE weapon! I don't know what it is! I do know that I shouldn't ask about it.
"We don't have ammunition for this weapon! There was an... accident!" Oh... Okay. So now I have this thing! "So what would you like to buy?"

Right now I've got 525 krels from my first quest, an ordinary spear, one ice grenade, superconductors to give to a certain Tozol named Josie, and a protein bar. If I still want to hire Josie to go on a mission with me some time, I gotta have like 740 krels, so I shouldn't spend too much here.

Here's the items that've caught my eye:
Caster gun with 3 complimentary spell bullets: 200 krels
Metal spear with stabby extendy feature and zappy tip feature: 100 krels
Time stopper (single use, lasts ~10sec): 100 krels
Healing potion: 50 krels

The spear recharges pretty quick, and if I get the caster gun, I'm sure to find more bullets for it during missions. Or I can buy more. The 3 spell bullets that come with it are Black Hole, Orb of Minor Bullet Hell, and Entrapment Cube. The healing potion should get me one or two limbs back, but it's all-or-nothing. Gotta quaff the whole thing in one go!

>>843007
healing potion only because what if injured person but we don't want to rewind. Save all other money.

>>843007
>suppository
Quick, cover your butt before it tries to shove a suppository in there! DX

Why is there a number 5 on the wall back there?

Is that a picture of you on the wall back there?

Time stopper, super spear, and healing potion. potion basically doubles the amount of suicidal stunts we can pull off, spear is reusable, time stopper is another time power!

>>843007
Save your money, take the stabby spear, it synergizes well with jump-magic.

Caster gun. It shoots magic, you can't pass that up.

How good are you at shooting guns, anyway?

I like the spear, buy it.

Metal spear
maybe
Caster gun
Then lets go get some new threads, preferably something that's armored.

>what buy
Caster gun, nothing else.

>How good are you at shooting guns, anyway?
If Glinp misses, immediately rewind, adjust aim, fire again. Repeat until you hit.

get the whip and the 5

Caster gun + Healing potion. You can always find more bullets later, hopefully from some place other than a bunch of old men on Planet Filler. Those three sound like some dang good bullets.

Hmm, y'know you were just splitting all that loot with Irib, if you want to hire Josie you could probably make enough in the next run AND buy a few things here if you did the next one solo. That spear does sound handy, and spears never run out of ammo.

Get a little clarification for the time stop, can you still affect things/people in the frozen time? If you grabbed a couple handfuls of steak knives and threw them at somebody while time was stopped, would they stop before reaching them and then start moving as time resumed, for example?

>The number 5 and the picture
"What's that number 5 hanging there?" I point to it. They sway to one side and gesture to it without breaking eye contact with me.
"You wonder correctly! That is an ornament for your holiday tree. Just in season!" They give a thumbs-up. OK then!
That picture doesn't look like me! It's some alien guy, wanted for small time space piracy and whatnot. Maybe I'll run into him before I take on Zorgonok, maybe not. Looks like the reward is only 500 krels, so they must not want 'em too bad.

>>843108
The time stopper, actually called "The World In A Bottle," does allow me to move things during the frozen time, and give 'em momentum for when it unfreezes. I CAN do that thing with the knives. There are places it wouldn't work, and its range is limited to an area around where you activate it, but for my missions I don't think those limitations would come up.

>gun skillz?
I'm not gonna 360 noscope a fool, but I'm a good enough shot!

Looks like my top two choices are the Caster gun and the spear.
"I'll take that Caster gun and that spear." I hand over the money.
"This turn of events is fantastiful! Good thank for your purchase." They give me the goods. "Will you have any more?"
"I want to sell my spear." I put it on the counter.
"Will you sell it for the 10 krels?"
"Suppository." They give me 10 krels and set the spear behind the counter.
"Will you have any more?"
"Negative!"
"Keep the free bee. Have a bye." The shopkeeper waves as I leave, and then un-deploys noisily.
>-krrngesplatch-

My total is now 235 krels.
At this point I'm thinkin' I could go for a change of clothes. I don't need to worry about it costing anything. I know a place where I can get the five-finger discount easy, eheh. I want something not too complicated, hopefully nothing that'd restrict my movement, but beyond that I dunno. What new outfit should I get...? I might be able to find something with a bit of armor to it.

A quick trip in and out of the clothing store, and I'm dressed to impress in my new duds. Next stop, the tavern. There's Josie - with RED EYES!? Like those infected guys!!
"Raaaar!" Oh no her fangs are so big!
"AAAIIIEEEEEE JOSIE'S BEEN TAKEN BY waaait a minute you can't get infected by Demons!"
"Chillax, you little lunatic," she chuckles. "I just got these new contact lenses. They must make me look spookier than I thought."
"I just came from a mission with people whose blood was infected, turning them into red-eyed zombie monsters~"
"Didja kill 'em? I heard a little from Irib." She looks vaguely interested.
"Yeah!"
"Nice."
"Aaaand I brought back superconductors!" I show 'em to her. She licks her lips.
"Hah, double nice. You're serious about recruiting me, eh? That'll lower my price to... oh, 685 krels." I sure don't have enough!
"I'm gettin' there!"
"I'll bet! Now go have a drink." I go sit at the bar and do that. Hey, Irib is here, dissolving a hamburger.
"If you're looking to go on another mission already, I'm afraid I'll have to increase my take to 65%~"
"Gee! I'll keep that in mind!" Sip.
"I hear you touched another artifact? One that gives you a Super Jump?"
"Yep! Wanna se-" He puts up a gripper tentacle to stop me.
"Please, don't demonstrate it in here." He retracts it. "You might break something."
"No prob!" I look around. An Iro sits next to me. I've seen him around before! He can levitate stuff, toss it around, and set it on fire, from a distance, as well as produce temporary barriers.
"Good day, Glinp was it? I don't believe we've been properly introduced. The name's Jet." We shake hands.
"That's me! And no we hadn't." He nods, and gestures toward me.
"Are you on the lookout for a new adventuring partner?"
"You bet!"
"It just so happens that I am too, with a little twist that you may find agreeable. You see, I'm looking for magical items of all kinds, and if we partner up, and you happen to find any along the way that you don't need, you can give them to me, and I'd be willing to take less than 50% of the money earnings for that quest. Perhaps down to 0%, if the goods are good enough."
"Gee! That sounds swell. I'll have to think about it!"
"Very well! I look forward to hearing your decision."

My remaining two missions are the Temple of the Fist, which no doubt has lots of corridors and traps, and the Volcano Ascent, which has lava and wildlife and... who knows what else.
That in mind, let's see whos we gots this time, as far as possible adventuring buddies to look into:

Slime (Irib again! But I could go for some variety and some not-giving-65%-of-the-money.)
Iro (magic stuff with levitation, barriers, and fire-starting. Could be super useful!)
Shadow (different kind of shapeshifting than Irib. Form blades, look like a different species, that kinda stuff, but not like, melt into a puddle. Looks spunky!)
Neumono (My bud Miko is here again! She can slice a man in half with her sword and she's real tough.)

Or I could go solo, if none of these folks appeal to me and I really wanna make some cash. Dunno though, friends are fun, and my last partner was a ton of help!

Open negotiations with the Shadow. They're the ghost-shark, right? You two could do that sawed-in-half magic trick.
Let's look into the Volcano ascent next.

>>843900
jump up on a table and declare that you are willing to service someone for a night for money.

Chat up your neumono buddy as well. One hand raised for temple of the fist with this Jet fellow.

Let's go with Iro and the Temple of the Fist! His magic should be real handy there.

>>843900
I think we should go with Miko this time. She's a bud, she big and tough, and she's cool.

>>843905
>prostitution
This seems entirely reasonable. Glinp can even rent themselves out by the part!

...I don't think Glinp is the kind of guy to literally whore himself out like that. Also it might be illegal?

>>843905
Offer to team up with someone else for a change. That last mission was crazy. Let's be someone else's backup for once.

>>843909
I agree.

His powers would be very helpful! The only power he's got that I don't see being very helpful in a volcano would be his fire starting power. Unless the volcano has been taken over by a bunch of ice related guys and they somehow froze the volcano, but what are the odds of that ever happening?

Iro to temple. It's a temple its bound to have many magics.

>Check out the Sharkdow
"I'm gonna talk to some other people before deciding."
"Of course. Take your time."
There's lots of types of creatures called "Shadows." I don't totally know the deal with this kind, but I think they're a type of undead. I walk up to him. Ironically, he's actually glowing some.
"Howdy! I'm Glinp. Lookin' for someone to go on a quest with?"
"Yeah, but you don't look like a strong contender." He tears the meat from a drumstick.
"I took on an Demonically-possessed Amtsvane by myself and won!"
"Pff. Gimme a break! You?"
"It's true. We just got back from that one a short while ago."
"No shit?" He seems less dubious! "Now that sounds like a real story." I give him the basic rundown, but I embellish it up a little, like you do. Miko listens in.
"Yeah, go Glinp!"
"Huh. Well either you're a couple 'a bullshitters, or I wrongly judged a book by its cover. My name's Ro. Tell ya what, saying we do go on a mission together, I'm taking 75% of the cash by default, minimum, but if you impress me with some moves like you say you've got, it goes straight down to 25. I wanna SEE it though." He points a chicken bone at me. "You think real hard on that." So that means really, I have 75% of the take guaranteed, and all I have to do is something real showy. I wouldn't have to give up any magic items or anything I find.
"Thanks, I will!" Thanks? Why did I say thanks. GAH.

...

"I will!" I sit with Miko before I say something vaguely awkward again.
"Demon-slaying, huh? Congrats!" She raises her glass and we clink 'em. "Hell, I woulda gone with you for that!"
"I didn't know there would be demons! One of 'em got a Neumono, too."
"Augh, bastard."
"This scary chef lady learned how to kill the demons for real though, and that's one of the ones she killed. With a giant spirit blade thing!"
"Haaa! That's sick. Damn I wish I'd gone with you. Now you've got me interested! I mean, maybe the next one won't be as hardcore as that." she takes a drink. "(burp) But if you want me with you on the next mission, I'm game. Gotta split it 50/50 though."

So that's my choices. Volcano's probably a good choice for Miko 'cause she'd have more room to swing her sword. Ro might be a better fit for the Temple? If we run into anyone inside there, he looks like he could get way brutal in close quarters. I might even end up as HIS backup. They can all work in either mission though.
In theory I can even try to take more than one, but splitting the money might get complicated and also I'd get less.

Let's go with Ro to the temple. With some practice and time loops, we could nail some trick shots to impress him.

>>844153
Arright, go to the Temple with Ro.

>>844153
Hire Miko.

Take Ro to the Temple.

Iro. To. Temple.
Miko. To. Volcano

Lets do awesome things with your buddy Miko!

Yeah, fuck it, let's go with Miko to the volcano. Swordplay in front of molten magma is too awesome to pass up.

I suggest bringing Miko, even split with no worrying about side-objectives, just hanging with your friend in perilous situations.

>Miko to volcano
It's one tough call between the magic man, the ferocious fish, and the burly bigears! In the end, I'll go with Miko. I really want to go to the temple, but since I'm leaning toward her as a partner, specifically to the volcano, we'll go there instead!
"Heck, let's go climb a volcano!"
"Yesss let's do it!" We clink our glasses again, and Jet turns to me.
"So you've made your decision? Very well! Good luck, you two." Miko and I thank him. "You're welcome. It wouldn't happen to be Mount Boom, would it?"
"Yeah, that's the one!"
"I hear there have been Quincy cultists sighted there recently. Be wary!"
"UGH. I wouldn't mind sending some of those creeps to their favorite personification of disgustingness." Although I'm a little put off by the thought of Quincy, I get some chow before we leave. Then we say bye to everyone, and warp to the base of the volcano!

The path winds counterclockwise up the mountain. We start up the path, and it's not long before we encounter our first challenge! A salamander crawls down the side of the mountain and hisses at us, flaring its gills!
"You want me to take this one? Or are ya gonna try and impress me~?" She shoulders her sword and winks at me.

>>844335
Glinp rewound time.

You'll save the heroics for some bigger fish. I bet you can just catch this one in the hook of your sword and fling it off the mountain!

Jump on its eyes to blind it. Also what's a Quincy? Is it like in those sodium hypochlorite mangos or a different thing?

>>844337
You can use that boulder you're on!

Just stand up and get to one side of the boulder and activate Super Jump to push it at the Salamander with your legs! It might be easier if you attempt to backflip off of the boulder, so that your legs will push it towards the Salamander when you activate Super Jump!

And if you fall on your face from the backflip, rewind until you stick the landing!

>>844340
>Also what's a Quincy?
This: http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Quincy ! XD

>>844337
This is the perfect outfit for messing about somewhere warm.

Hey maybe you can scare it off by making yourself look bigger an meaner!

Super jump off the boulder, and aim to stick your post in its noggin.

Ah I wanted to take green dude to temple.
What is the pink thing in our inventory?

Ummm can you describe what that stuff is in your inventory? I don't see the spear...

>>844435
>Spear
It's next to the gun and under the money.

It looks weird because it has "an extendy feature and zappy tip feature".

>>844343
I was asking in-universe. I know Bleach aka sodium hypochlorite perfectly well.

Does the force behind the super-jump let you take passengers along, like that boulder for instance? Rock go up, rock come down on salamander. Or you could try shifting midair to be your own boulder.

Blegh. He's a god. A personification of everything nonconsensual. And he's a god of universal destruction. He doesn't care about his followers, he doesn't get any power from them, and he doesn't give them anything! You gotta be a real dick to be a Quincy cultist! Heck, even Dolnar The Black (the primary god I've chosen), who's normally a-ok with people dealing with other deities, would shun you if you were a follower of Quincy.

I see if the Super Jump will push the boulder toward the salamander. It doesn't really! I just jump really far back! I do manage to stick a landing on a backflip, at least. Miko doesn't say anything. I immediately jump over the boulder and land on the salamander's eyes. It hurts my feet! Before it can ready fire-breath, I jab it in the head with my new spear and fry its brains, and jump right off. It keels over.
"Eeyow!" I sit down, pop my feet off, and wave 'em in the air to cool 'em down. Not burned, looks like. Just a little too hot for a sec. I put 'em back on and stand up.
"Eh, seven outta ten."
"Yeah that coulda gone better. Note to self, don't touch the fire creatures."

>>844433
The pink thing is that free weapon the shopkeeper gave me. Oh I should ask Miko about it. I take it out and show her.
"Oh hey uh, you ever seen something like this before?"
"Hyeah, in my dildo drawer. What the heck is it?"
"The shopkeeper said it's a weapon! I got it for free! But there's no ammo for it. I was hoping you'd know anything about it."
"Nnnnnope!"

We climb further. A small airship thing passes overhead. This probably isn't a good place for those, but what do I know! The next interesting thing is a dark and spooky cave. There's a sign that says "Don't go in there". Ahead of us is a rickety bridge.
"I wonder what's in there." Do we heed the warning and move along, or find out why we're not supposed to go in there?

What's the harm in sating your and our curiousity? Take a look in that cave, some illumination would probably be good.

The Quincy cultists probably put it there because they can resist its awesome authority! Go inside and point that weapon at anything in there.

Let's find out what's in there! Worst case scenario we rewind.

>Hyeah, in my dildo drawer
Hey a free dildo is still something free.

>Do we heed the warning and move along, or find out why we're not supposed to go in there?
Since when do adventurers heed warnings. Especially adventurers who can rewind time if shit goes to hell.

>>844594
Did either of you bring a flashlight or something like that?

>>844594
Ehhhhh. It might be a trap. Have Miko watch the entrance while you go inside, someone might try and roll a boulder in front of the door or something.

>>842786

I say ask mike to get you a slice of salamander tail, maybe see if you can get it to relight.
If you can’t hold it you can at least toss it in there.

>>844828
No need! because...

Miko fishes out an orb from her pocket and releases it into the air, and it lights up and floats around so we can see. A ways in, we see a little stone table with a box on it. At either end of the table, there's a stone statue of a robot thing sitting on the floor. They’re bulky, but they look about chest-height. They seem less dirty than everything else.
"I bet they're constructs. Hmmmm. Got any tricks up your sleeve?"

I've got a weird dildogun and I'm not afraid to find out how it works!

>>845080
There's no ammo for that.

>>845078
Well you've got a cool guncaster! Might be needed here because I doubt you can use the spear on stone constructs.

>>845081
>There's no ammo for that.
What if it's not a gun and is something that you just slap someone in the face with?

>>845081
Maybe it's one of those vacuum cannons that sucks up things before spitting them out. No harm in trying.

They probably wake up when you open the box. That being said, maybe you can have Miko wait outside, then open the box with the extendo-grip and disguise yourself if that sets off the constructs. If they stay inactive, it may be that taking the stuff in the box/ off the altar os the trigger.

Maybe putting something over their eyes would work? If they're activated by movement that is. You could use your shirt for one and maybe Miko has something that can be put over the other?

The way the shopkeeper worded it, I think it does shoot SOMETHING.
"Lemme see if this thing does anything." I point the pink weapon at stuff and pull the trigger, but nothing happens. "Guess I should ask more people about it or somethin’." Miko shrugs.
"Guess so."

>>845100
>>845097
I put my shirt over one of the constructs' heads. I start to open the box, and then the blinded one socks me one in the chest, tosses the shirt away, and goes back to being motionless. I have a sit down.
"O-oof... So much for blinding them..."
"You okay?"
"Yeah I'll be fine. In a sec. (wheeze) I got another idea." I pick my shirt back up and put it on. " Can you wait at the entrance in case something closes it?"
"I can't make the light stay behind."
"Oh. Then we'll just have to... see what happens!" I don't have an extendo-grip, but I extend my spear and lift the lid of the box from a ways away. The constructs do nothing at first, which is kinda surprising, but then they bat away the spear, close the lid, and go still again. When I opened the box, I could see a small piece of paper inside, and when they closed the lid, it blew out.
"What's it say?" I pick it up.
"It says, 'You're the slow one this time! I already took the prize and now it's in my underwear'?? What the heck! 'signed, the Quincy cultists.'" Miko punches her hand.
"Alright! Let's go beat 'em up!" We leave the cave and cross the bridge. It's really falling apart! A few boards break on the way across. It looks like it might not handle a couple more trips across it! "Hah, now that's what I call rickety! I wasn't sure we were gonna make it!"
"Good thing we won't have to go across it again!"
"You don't wanna try? Just for FUN?"
"No!"
"Yeah, that's prob'ly smart."

Our NEXT CHALLENGE comes soon after, when we reach this HUGE river of lava!
A little before it, there's a sign. It points up to a very shiny floating chunk of rock with a button on the bottom, and says, " Hold the button for 10 seconds, and then you can cross the lava." It’s in Stirian, which is what the cave sign was written in. The note from the cultists was in English.

Separate your bits and then stack on top of Miko so you can press it.

>>845332
Totempole with Miko and press it with your hand stuck on the butt of your spear.

>>845332
Superjump onto it and just cling to the rock to hold the button down!

Poke the button with your spear and see what it does.

>>845332
Don't stand directly under the floating rock when you press the button! It could fall on you!

See if you can get a running start and super jump on top of the rock. Then you can weight it down maybe or reach around it and hold down the button with your spear.

I bet if we try push the button the rock will float away so do this instead
>>845340

Super jump onto the rock.

Have you shown mike the transformation power yet?

I did show her the transform power! Right after I got it.
I try to super jump to the rock, but it's hella slippery! I can't hold onto it or stand on it! "Bwaugh!"
"Whoa, good thing you didn't jump toward the lava at it."

>>845337
>>845338
>>845345
>>845349
"Yep. Totem pole?"
"Sure, stand under it, and I'll get on your shoulders."
"Oka- heyyy!"
"Naaah I'll hold you up. C'mere." She gets under it and crouches so she can grab my ankles and lift me up. She's not directly under it. Once I'm up there, I detach an arm, hold it with one hand, and hold my spear with the detached one so I can press it. "Got it?"
"Yep! Don't drop me!" I’m barely reaching it. She holds me steady for 10 seconds, and the lava becomes stone. She tosses a rock a it and it looks safe, so we cross, and then it turns back to lava! There’s another button and sign on this side, I guess for if we want to go back. This button's a lot lower.

Then a... ugh... Quincy follower comes bounding down the trail, looking frighteningly happy and shaking a pair of tambourines. Miko reaches for her blade and looks over at me.

Yeah get out your spear and take this sucker out.

Superjump behind her so that you're on her flank.

Ask consent before stabbing.

>>845567
>Miko reaches for her blade and looks over at me.
"Hey, don't look at me! I don't care what you do to this guy!"

"I love eating babies!"

>superjump behind cultist to stab with spear
"I'll get behind her, you get the front."
>-pchoing!-
"Mind if I stab y-ow!"
I spring behind the pink sergal, and she does a twirl and smacks me with a tambourine! But I can also twirl and strike out, with my spear! I get her across the back, which stuns her, and Miko charges her and swings, and that's the end.
"Guess we better see if she's the one who took whatever was in the box." She shakes the cultist's headless corpse, but no items come out. Just blood! "Nope." She tosses the remains over the side. "How DO people end up like that." She keeps her blade out.
"I think-"
"Yeeeeah it was rhetorical. (sigh) S'just sad." We continue for a while, and Miko wipes her blade off with a cloth and resheathes it. Just then, we encounter three of those hot pink hooligans! And they've got big claw weapons! "Ah, shit. That's timing." She grabs her sword again.
”You’ve got a nice face! To put my ASS on!”
There's a big pit behind 'em, and a chunk of rock sticking out into it from the mountainside, with a button on it. There's another sign here, which says 'Hold the button for 10 seconds, and then you can cross the pit. Only heavy objects can press the button.

>>845754
I think you should use the caster gun here. Minor bullet hell should do it!

Good thing you brought a gun to a claw fight! Shoot the bird, fling the snake into the pit, and... I have no idea what's up with that guy on the left. Uh, just stab him. In the butt.

>>845754
"Hold on a second Miko let's hear their arguments here."

>>845754
>Only heavy objects can press the button.
Too bad Glinp isn't heavy enough to press the button, since it seems like he's the only one that can reach the button with his Super Jump! If only he was a fat guy, then he could press the button!

>>845756
Good idea!

Let's use their corpses to weigh the button down.

You could always turn into something, have Miko throw you at them turn back mid flight and kick then down the gap.

Use your extender grip to push them off the side or keep them at bay. You can reposition them- into the path of Miko's sword.

I mean function. The extender function.

okey
First which one just said they want to sit on your face?
Secondly what the hell is the thing on the left?
Thirdly look at that poor snake having to hold that in his mouth, I mean heaven forbid they give him a tail holdable one! The fuck assholes.

"Hold on a second Miko let's hear their arguments here," I say as I draw the caster gun and load it up.
"Pshhh." The cultists charge (ass-first in the Birdfolk's case), but Miko's able to keep the heat off me for long enough! "Gah! You fuckin'..." But she takes a hit! Oh no!
"Ready!" I hold the gun so she can put her hand on it, and I pull the trigger! Not a second later she's already off deflectin' more blows from that persistent unidentified guy.

That's a lotta projectiles! Miko and I are mostly unharmed, but those painted pink guys are a real mess. After checking the corpses for loot (and not even findin' any! Besides the claws, if those count), Miko picks up a corpse and chucks it onto the button. It costed me a pretty good free spell bullet, but we didn't have to deal with those suckas for long! A bridge appears, and at the same time, the ledge with the button vanishes and the corpse falls in the pit. Miko watches it tumble down. We cross quick, and the ledge comes back and the bridge disappears.

We're makin' real good time so far. Next up is some climbing. Pretty straightforward, probably. Anything I wanna talk to Miko about on the way to whatever's next?

>>845909
You could try rewinding and doing the same thing over again, but warning Miko so she doesn't take the hit.

>Anything I wanna talk to Miko about on the way to whatever's next?
I dunno, catch up? What's she been up to lately, you shared stories about your last adventure, but you don't know what she's been doing?

How's the fam / hive? (Assuming she's not a rogue).

Don't worry about the hit on Miko. Warning her about the attack would be suspicious. It's only her ear anyway and Neumono are pretty good at handling pain.

And yeah ask how she's doing. How's her family? Any cool missions lately?

Suggestion 2017/11/18(Sat)14:17 No. 845913 ID: f5c698

Ask her about her hobbies. She excited about any new shows coming out this season?

>>845909
>I hold the gun so she can put her hand on it, and I pull the trigger!
So you needed Miko to hold onto the gun so that the bullets wouldn't harm her, right? Is that how it works?

>>845909
Ask her where she picked up swordsmonoship.

Ask about hobby’s/ what she thinks that thing on the left was.

Maybe ask if she wants a Super Jump Ride.

Is godawful pink just the Quincy house colors?

Hot pink is the main color, bright green for other parts, and what an eyesore they are when you put 'em together! The hat is essential, but the underwear... isn't. We're lucky they've all had underwear so far.

>>845914
Yup. The bullet's spell doesn't target anyone who's touching the caster gun when it fires. Unless the bullet wasn't designed for it, but you're not supposed to sell ones like that.

>Where'd she learn swordsmonoship
Oh, I know that! She's from a hive that makes a lotta adventuring equipment, and some adventurers. They do sword training. I dunno if she actually maintains proper form and stuff in battle, most of the time.

>Ask about her family/hive and hobbies!
"So how's the hive and the fam?" I ask as we climb.
"Good, actually! We just got the funds for a new annex to the station. I think they're gonna put a mini forest thing on there, where people can hang out and get some natural surroundings. Siblings are doin' good too. Milo's developed some kinda new spell... process... thing... I don't understand it exactly, that stuff's over my head, but he was excited about it and it sounded cool."
"Nice!" We take a break on a ledge. She doesn't need it, but I do! "How's... hobbies?"
"Went to a heavy metal concert a few weeks ago. It was siiiick! Couldn't hear shit for a while after, hahah."

Speaking of loud things, something small but loud crashes into the cliff face on the other side of Miko, and takes a chunk out of it! It looks like it came from straight out, but... there's nothing over that way that I can see, except another mountain out in the distance.

Get you both behind some cover around the side from the mountain. Something sniping at you? See if you can spot the glint from a scope on that other mountain or anything like that.

Alternatively, if it's something inside the rock, try to hang off the ledge to confuse its aim, then when it fires move and hang in a different rhythm.

>Went to a heavy metal concert a few weeks ago. It was siiiick! Couldn't hear shit for a while after, hahah.
Regen is handy if you're going to be blowing out your eardrums I guess.

>It looks like it came from straight out, but... there's nothing over that way that I can see, except another mountain out in the distance.
So there's either an invisible jet shooting at you or a sniper with a crazy rifle trying to pick you off from the next mountain.

Any good cover nearby or are we completely exposed on the side of the mountain?

Seems you should turn a corner as soon as possible!

the scope of a sniper wouldnt glint unless you were shooting it the ditection of the sun and no good sniper would actualy do that as it would blind them (dont look at the sun with a powerfull telescope kids)

>take cover!
I sure hope it ain't a sniper OR an invisible jet!
"Corner!" I point to the corner, and Miko and I discover a little cave. We get in and stay low, and Miko looks at the hole the projectile made. Whoa, it went through the wall and into the opposite wall! Nothing happens for a bit, so Miko stands up and investigates the holes.
"I think I know what this is, and we're not bein’ shot at," she says. I might know what she's thinking.
"Supersonic Gooby?" She traces one of the holes with a claw. I stand up too.
"Yeah. Hole's about the right size, and I think this one over here might go all the way out the mountain." She kicks some rubble out of the cave. "But that means this cave's not gonna help us if there's more. Fuckin' Ferret Galaxy! Hahah. Everything that comes outta there is the most fucked up shit." We're prob’ly safe. The chances of getting hit are low. If another one DOES come and hit us, I'm gonna just have to revert. There's not much we can do about 'em! Goobies are these extremely dangerous, very small magical creatures. They're not the weirdest or most dangerous thing to come from the Ferret Galaxy, but they don't seem to have any organs or anything (not even eyeballs or skin), and they explode, so they ARE weird and dangerous.
"I met a Pretty Posian and saw some Capiscites before, but I've never seen any kind of Gooby out in the wild."
"Well now you have, for a split second at least. Heh." She pulls out her light. "Heyy, what's this?" There's a door leadin' further in, and another sign in Stirian here! The sign points to a tile that's leaning against it. "Break the tile to free the key, and then you can unlock the door." Miko reads. "Huh. Sooo if I..." She moves the tile into the middle of the tunnel, takes out her sword, jumps up, and jabs the blade down against the tile! "Hyaaah!"
>-Fwaaaaam!-
"Gee whiz!" It looks very impressive!
"Fuuuck, not even a scratch! Got any more spell bullets?"
"Yeah, Black Hole and Entrapment Cube."
"Hah, those're good! But they're not gonna help. Any other ideas?"

Hold it up outside and see if a Gooby hits it.

ovo what's this?
Try prying the tile out of the floor first.

Try throwing the tile off the mountainside. If it don't work, revert.

No way to use the Gooby without arousing suspicion I can see.

>>846510
To free the key? Can you see the key in the tile?

>>846510
That's weird. Does it look like that thing is bleeding?

>How to get the key out?

>>846564
"Is it... bleeding?" Miko rubs the part that looks like that.
"Nah." She shrugs. "Maybe whoever painted it was just having a weird day."

>Hold the tile up and see if a Gooby hits it
"Lemme see this thing." I pick it up and carry it outside. It's not very heavy!
"What, you're gonna wait to see if there's another Supersonic Gooby?"
"Yeah!" She scoffs, but she leans against a wall and waits.

>Throw the tile off the mountain!
>Tile into lava!
>Push the green dots?
Nothing happens for a while, so I drop it off the mountain. Wait, the key might be inside the tile. How am I gonna get it even if it does break?
"Hey!" Miko comes and looks over the edge. "Gliiinp, buddy..." It bounces off the side and falls into lava. "Why-"

...

This time I don't drop it. I set it down and push the green dots. They don't budge.
"Uh, hm. You wanna take it with us? Could be a decent shield, if we don't find a way to break it."

If you rewind and climb up the side of the mountain faster this time (combine super jump and you friend throwing you?), you could get to the cave and hold it where you know the Supersonic Gooby will be.

>>846868
How about we take a closer look at the thing to see if we can figure out how to open it?

>>846869
That would end up either destroying the key or knocking it outta Glinp's hands.

>>846869
You could do this, then say it happened while you were goofing around and carrying it out. A little white lie, but it might be a bit faster than breaking it elsewhere and bringing it back.

Otherwise, press on!

Let's not use a Gooby. Keep going for a bit, maybe you can find something more believable to break it with. Also, yeah, the shield idea is cool! Block attacks with a puzzle piece, haha.

How about you confirm if it's inside by jumping off the side of the mountain after you throw it?

Back to just before the climb. I use the Super Jump right away!
>-pchoing!-
"Show-off!" Miko calls from below. I slip a little but catch myself.
"Last one there's a Moton egg!" I call down. That jump took a lot of energy! But I need the time... I keep climbin' until I get to the ledge, then I look into the cave. "There's a cave here! I'm gonna check it out!"
"Careful!" I go in, grab the tile, and hold it up where the SG's gonna hit, with a little time to spare. Miko comes in just in time to see...
>-baCRASHhhhhhh...-
Yeah! It busts through the tile and the key... pops out of... somewhere? Magic! Most of the tile is still intact. Miko and I fall to the ground.
"Glinp! Are you ok??"
"Gaaah! Y-yeah! Was that a Supersonic Gooby!?" Miko looks at the holes, and reaches up and feels one with her claw.
"Hmm... It mighta been, yeah. Geez, that was a close one! But you're alright!" She pats me on the back!
"Uff-ff! And you too. Never seen one of those for real before..." We wait on the ground for a bit. Nothing happens.
"So whatta you got there anyway?"
"This broken tile thing and this... key?" Miko pulls out her light and goes to read the sign.
"Huh. Solved it by accident! Great!" She looks at the broken pieces. "That thing musta been pretty tough, if that's all the damage it took." She picks one up and bites it. "Huh." She flicks it aside.
"This near-death experience made me feel like I need to take a breather for a minute! Let's just... chat a little. How's the hive, and the fam?" She tells me. I ask about hobbies, and she tells me about the concert.
"That Supersonic Gooby wasn't near as loud." She picks her ear with a claw. "It was loud, though."
"Sure was..." I stand up.
"You ready to see what's behind the door?"
"Yeah, I think I'm ready. Let's go!"
"Alright!" She puts up her fist and I bump it. I unlock the door, and there's some kinda shrine inside! "Heh, bet those Quincy creeps didn't get in here..." We look around. It's decorated in holy symbols and stuff, and there's a nice-looking box in the middle. I open the box, and it's got a spell bullet inside!
"It's a Holy spell bullet!" That'll be great if we encounter any undead or other such types. Might be good for when I finally get to Zorgonok, after I punch him in the dick, of course.
"Sweet. Too bad it's not super effective against... well, anything we're likely to find here."
"Yeah..."
We close the door, and the key vanishes, and the tile goes back to being whole and leaned against the sign.
"You know, I wanna try something..." She tries the sword thing, and it fails. She suggests using it as a shield, so I add it to my inventory just because why not. We start to climb up to the next part of the trail, but we hear what sounds like fighting up there!
>-Kaboooom!-
And explosions!? We step off the wall and a pink corpse falls past us. Uhhhh.

Hurry up there and you might be able to get into a three-way!

>>847214

Just walk on the lines.

You've got that indestructible stone with the key in it, right? Start tossing it onto the hexes to find out which ones are safe.

If you get an explosion, rewind and aim for a different tile.

>>847570
I mean, this is easy. Just pick a tile. If you explode, rewind. If not, keep going. Sure, you're going to blow up a few times, but you'll make it across.

Tough part might be getting Miko to follow you if you don't actually have an explanation for why the path you're walking is safe.

>>847585

I pause. If I'm tryin' to find the mines like this, I can't just NOT throw it on that third tile, but I've seen what happens if I do that...
"Hey hold up a sec before you throw it a third time. Iii'm just thinkin'... What happens when you find a mine and the thing gets blasted away?"
"Yeah, I was thinkin' about that too..."

>>847598
It's small and I'd probably get my fingies exploded! I can Rule of Cool my way through some things, but I dunno about that idea...
"GEEERONIMOOOO!" A crazy cultist hops off the mountainside into the minefield and stumbles onto a mine!
>-Kerblamm!-
"Hpfff. Am I missin' somethin', or are these guys just insane??"
"What if it's both!" Miko holds her head and shakes it.
"At least they didn't use actual Goobies in these mines."
"How can you tell?"
"Gooby explosions are bigger." That's probably why it didn't break the tile.

So now I have a couple safe spots and a couple mines figured out. Maybe there's a really easy pattern to the placements! Or there's a more...
"Glinp..."
"Yeah?" Miko points to our left.
"You see that shiny black thing hanging from that branch?"
"Y-yeah?"
"THAT is a Gooby hive. The normal-speed kind." She starts laughing! "Oh, this has got my hearts pumpin'!"

Oh... Well, maybe we can find a way to use that to our advantage! Or maybe we're gonna need to run across this minefield before the Goobies come out and explode us worse than the minefield would.

Chop the branch the gooby hive is hanging on and toss it into the minefield!

>>847836
It looks like no two mines are directly adjacent, but there's one that breaks the pattern that would completely fill the field.

By which I mean the top left one.

Try super jumping across to see how far you can make it. If you can jump between a few of the clear spaces, maybe you can revert and jump across with Miko on your back. Good thing she seems like a risk taker!

Oh, the bottom right one breaks the pattern too. It should be fine if you stay in the middle.

>>847835
Can you get the gooby hive to go shooting into the minefield so they crash all over the place and blow up any mines that are left?

>>847848
Glinp isn't strong enough to pick up and carry Miko!

You could always play minesweeper with the semi-indestructible stone while reverting and memorizing the path.

We see another cave, and this time we go in right away! She pulls out her light as we run deep enough that the explosions outside get a lot quieter. I sit down for a rest.
"Looks like someone dropped some money! Finally."
Miko picks up 100 krels, so I get 50!

"Hey, does something smell funny to you?" Miko sniffs.
"Yeah, kinda... I wonder what that is." Sniff sniff. She shrugs. For a split second, outta the corner of my eye, her face looks disturbingly off in some way. "I think I see s'more money down there." She goes to investigate. "Huh, nope. I wonder what I saw?" I look up and see something weird on the ceiling above her! I think it's about to pounce!

Pounce it first! Jump!

>>848151
Stab it!

>>848151
>I look up and see something weird on the ceiling above her! I think it's about to pounce!
Warn her by shouting, "Above you, look out!"

Tell Miko to look out!

It looks almost ooze like, so it might be best not to touch it. Do we have a fire source? Something like that might work better.

>>848151
I sorta want to see what its going to do, then revert.

>>848194
The knowledge of its attack probably isn't worth watching our friend get mauled.

>>848247
I agree, don't let Miko get mauled!

>>Jump up and stab the thing and warn Miko!
”Above you!” I get a running start and jump at the shadow and strike with my spear! “Hyaaa!”
>-pchoing!-
”Glinp, what??”
The shadow vanishes and my spear hits the stalactite! Miko was already gettin’ outta the way so it doesn’t fall on her. It does fall though!
>-kerrashh-!
“What the heck was THAT about?” I look around, but there’s no sign of the shadow thing.
”There was a thing! About to pounce!”
”I didn’t see anything!” We go back to back, trying to find signs of it, but after a while of nothing, we hear music coming from deeper in the cave. “Well… Keep an eye out. Let’s see where that music’s comin’ from.” We look for the source, and Miko finds more krels. “3, 22, 15, 8…” She puts ‘em together and splits ‘em to share. The trail leads us to another passageway, which is where the music is.

I get 24 krels!
”But who dropped all the-”
”BOOGABOOGABOOGA!” Miko punches another Quincy freak in the face! He drops another 20 krels, which Miko splits with me.
I get 10 more krels!

Just through the passageway there’s another wide area like the one we were just in, but there’s a whole mess of folks dancin’ in a circle and singin’! It looks like they’re gonna summon something!
”Midday porkchops?”
”W...what?” Her eyes get a little too big.
”Well, SOMEBODY’S flying a crab.” I don’t know what’s happeningggg!

Reality is distorting itself around the ritual! Perhaps the artifact is involved? Use pantomime to indicate the ritual should be charged!
Privately wonder if anything else is getting larger than normal too.

>I don’t know what’s happeningggg!
I think Miko might be possessed or infected or something. Is she turning into a Quincy? That would be worse than death!

When did she get those scratches on her ear? ...was her top always that pink?

You're probably hallucinating. She might be too. Focus on the enemies.

Either you or she are under the effects of some kind of spell or other hallucinogen. You good to walk, or feeling groggy?

privately wonder if anything else is getting bigger ~

It might be that ritual. Stick it out for a second and see what happens, but ultimately I say revert. When you get here after reverting shoot a black hole bullet at the fire. At worst you can revert to get the bullet back.

>>848324
If it starts to get harder to think, then you better revert before your mind gets too clouded! Otherwise, you'll be too messed up in the head to even think straight enough to actually be able to revert!

You know what they say about ladies with big eyes... big swords.
The Black Hole spell bullet should erase that campfire faster than you can say 'crouton butterscotch'!

Seems like a hallucination. See if a black hole on the campfire fixes it.

What about your eyes? Detach one of them to examine yourself.

>>848326
I never heard of people turning into Quincy! Quincy's followers claim he's inside of everyone, but that's not what they mean. There's just one Quincy, though he can multilocate. He always looks like the species of the person lookin' at 'im. These guys are all just dressing like he does for... who even knows why. Actually hold on, these dancin' guys here don't have the hats. Huh.
She could be possessed by somethin', maybe...

I don't FEEL weird... Balance is fine. None of my parts feel like they've changed size.

Whatever we smelled earlier, I definitely smell it in here.

>Black hole bullet the fire!
I load up the caster gun and take aim where Miko can touch it again. She puts a hand on it and I pull the trigger!
>-BYOWWwwwwwSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Miko and I hunker down behind some pillar things. I can hear screams over the sound of the black hole sucking in the dancers and the floor and ceiling. Miko turns to me.
"He is almost here," she says in a much deeper voice than normal.
>HHHHHHHHHHhhvwwwoip!-
The black hole vanishes. There are no dancers and no fire, and the circle on the ground is broken up and no longer aglow, but it looks like the spell didn't take everyone. There's still a couple of 'em left, who were outside the circle.
"(cough cough) Did you see those ponies?" That's not what I was trying to say! It didn't sound like my voice either. I hear a pony whinny somewhere. The cultists appear to retreat into the darkness on our right.

Interrogate those ponies for cheeses!

Oh, they're summoning Quincy or some crap. Any chance that a god or some avatar of one could mess up your reverting thing? If not, might as well stick around and see what they get.

>>848455
Kill the remaining cultists! Quickly!
...gosh I hope these aren't people trying to STOP Quincy from arriving. Could you verify that their outfits are Quincy-like aside from the hat?

If Quincy would screw up your time control we might be in serious trouble here.

Revert and take that black hole bullet back, whatever this is, it's too far gone to stop. Let it happen, see if Miko says anything new. If not, maybe there's something more deity-esque that needs to be singularized.

Gee willikers, that Black hole bullet was really strong! I hope this was the right place to use it. Then again, I can't just hoard all the cool stuff and never use it for real.

>>848460
>>848462
You don't SUMMON Quincy. He just shows up places and then you go 'UGH.' If anything, wantin' him around makes him less likely to appear! But I'm pretty sure it just doesn't do anything either way. I'll see how they're dressed once I get a look at 'em. I motion for us to go after 'em, and Miko seems to understand.
"They will have claws and tambourines." She looks confused by what she just said.
"A parade is coming." My turn to look confused!
She sends her light over toward where those guys went, and we can see they’re dressed… kinda Quincylike and whaddaya know, claws and tambourines!
"You have already learned the combination." A pony runs behind him.
"The Cutebold can give you the key," says the pony. OK well, do we just attack? And do we leave the ponies out of it, or are they gonna taste steel too?

>>848678
We'll find out if we need to use the black hole somewhen else. Then we can come back and do this segment some other way.
Leave the ponies out of it unless they attack.

Also weird, is everyone in the area having urges to spout prophecy?

>OK well, do we just attack?
Why don't you wait and see if they're actually violent, and if they are, revert and strike first.

Maybe try to talk and see what gibberish you come out with, and if they respond?

It seems like rather than being mentally influenced, something like the words being altered as they try to talk is happening. The ponies seem part of this somehow, this is definitely spooky. Try to ignore anything that's being talked about by yourselves or the possible hallucinations and just focus on the fight.

"A hero desires a sword, and a sword desires truth." That didn't make any more sense than what I was goin' for. I don't feel like this stuff's makin' any more sense as time goes on.

>Only attack if attacked
The one with the claws shoots his arm at me like it's some kinda rubber thing! I duck just in time, I can feel the claw scrape my horns. Eugh that's not a nice feeling! The claw hits a chunk of rock from the aftermath of the black hole and retracts back to him. Meanwhile this other guy's dancin' all over the place and Miko can't seem to get a good hit in! Well, they're attackin', so what's my play? Looks like he's windin' up for another strike.

Gank Miko's opponent: Pin him then turn into an object.

>>848938
Are... are your eyes your horns?

Spear at him until he dies, I guess.

Gank Miko’s opponent.

Concentrating fire here might give y’all an advantage over the magical/drugs/enchantment/krels/creepy cave shenanigans.

That shirt continues to look good even in the dark.

>>848944
Glinp's horns are there, on either side of the stretchy guy's fists.

Helping Miko isn't a bad idea, but leaving this guy free to act might not be such a great idea. If the tile is decently heavy, try tossing it at him as you go. Otherwise , maybe you could do something to distract him, like detach your tail and wiggle it around or stab his face with your spear.

>Stab this guy, gank Miko's guy with a pin and a disguise TF
The tile's surprisingly light, so it wouldn't be much of a distraction. I spear at the lizard guy's face while heading toward Miko! This guy's kind of elastic! I only manage to push his head to the side, but it makes him miss with his claw strike. Miko's lookin' frustrated. I jump on her opponent between her attacks, but he's a slippery one!
"Hoohoohoo~" I turn into... a big rock! I hurt one of his feet. "Grow new fingers with new Fingro!" He starts hoppin' around, but it looks like Miko still can't quite get 'im. Snakey guy hasn't started teamin’ up against Miko yet, but I'm sure he will soon if I don't make a move!
"Bzz bzz bzz!"

What if Miko flung you back at your first opponent to keep him distracted?

Alright swap back to your foe and give him some jabs. See if you can drive him away from Miko's fight, then use superjump to get back and help Miko again.

>>849107
Shift back, stab their tambourine hand.

Can't co-ordinate things with Miko at the moment due to the weird language stuff. Therefore try turning back and shanking this bird in the gut yourself, then engage snakeman.

The crazy speech thing either predicted the ponies and the "claws and tambourines" or caused them. It's probably a good idea to avoid speaking until you can talk like normal again, assuming it's the latter, though I guess you can't really tell Miko about it.

>>849107
Super jump into the air, then turn into a rock in mid-air for the ground pound

>>849356
He can't control what he turns into, it's random every time. He might end up turning into something harmless like a feather or something.

>Stab tambourine hand
I turn back into me. I don't get his hand, but I DO stab the tambourine, which is... something!

>Try to get snakeman away from Miko, superjump back to help her, then engage snakeman
I keep track of where Miko's fight is so I can keep claw guy and his stretch-o-matic claws away from her. My spear jabs don't seem to be hurtin' him much! I get a good few stabs in, but at best all I can get are some real tiny punctures. He seems to have some trouble aiming, so my clothes take more damage than the rest of me. The walls have faces. They're mumbling things I can't quite make out.
Once Miko and bird guy are a good distance away, I Super Jump back to them and go for a gut stab! It takes a couple of tries, but I do get 'im, and his guts go eeeeeverywhere! Geez! Miko hooks him with her sword and tosses him at the snake dude as he's launching his arm. She gets hit, but cuts off his arm and closes the distance, and when he shoots his head at her and tries to bite, she cuts that off! Whew!

"(spooky vibrating noises)" Um! So, she picks me up and looks me over and gives me a thumbs-up. I check her for damage and give her a wobbly thumbs-up in return!
We continue down this big chamber, and there are some chambers on the sides, which have some stuff that looks like clothing and food, but everything kind of looks like it's breathing and I can't tell what's real. At the end of the chamber, there's a big wall with holes and numbers. The upper row is too high for Miko or me to reach alone. There’s also a rod nearby. "Fuck a ducktruck," says Miko. Or at least I think that's what she said.

>>849402
I guess the only thing you can do is trial and error. Let's try 1, 5.

.....giggle at thinking dirty thoughts about a pole going into a bunch of holes!

>>849402
Okay so it's a number from 00 to 29. Or maybe it requires a sequence of such numbers?

..."3, 22, 15, 8" All those are less than 29. Try that combination.

Jam pillar thing into each hole and revert if anything bad happens

I hear trumpeting.
>1, 5
Whenever I put the rod in a hole, there's a
>-ch'koong-
noise, and the hole glows. When I take it out, there's a
>-ch'k-
noise and the glow dies down a second after.

>put it in every hole
I can get the bottom row and the middle row, but I have to stand on Miko's shoulders for the top row. I just get the noise and the glow from all of 'em.
Miko tries sticking her finger in one of the holes, and it does the thing, so she puts another finger in a different hole at the same time and they both glow!

>3, 22, 15, 8
I try this sequence, but nothing special happens. Whatever the combination is, we might need to do 'em all at once?

>>849578
Yeah try in all the holes of 3, 22, 15, 8.

>>849430

First drop was 100 (not password), which was split into 50 (possible password).

Then came 3, 22, 15, 8, all possible passwords. Together they came to 48 (not password), which was split into 24 (possible password).

Then there was the last drop of 20 (possible password), split into 10 (possible password).

Let's assume the splits of the first and last coin stacks are passwords, and use all available possible passwords. Stick the pole and fingers in holes 5-0, 3-0, 2-2, 1-5, 8-0 and 2-0.

If that doesn't work, drop 2-0 in favor of 1-0. If that doesn't work, remove 1-0. If that doesn't work drop 5-0, and test with both 2-0 and 1-0 again. If that doesn't work, test the above all over again, but with 2-4 instead of the middle numbers (3-0, 2-2, 1-5 and 8-0). In fact, maybe test that last one first, since it's fewer holes and quicker to do.

Any possible combinations and tricks I've missed here?

>>849586

Ah, no, wait. 2-4 isn't a possible password. Hrm.

>>849586
Oh oops I should've looked at the other coin drops.
100 would be 00!

so 00, 03, 22, 15, 08, 20.

>>849589

Sounds legit. Try it!

Try pressing the loop on the 9, it might be a hidden switch (or just another color). Other than that, if you need to hold a few extra switches down, maybe you could detach a couple fingers and leave them in the holes. Try this combination: 00, 20, 09, 29, you should be able to leave fingers in a couple holes on one side with Miko's help then get the other side with her. If it's just your hands that can do that this might not work, but it seems like the holes just need something in there, i.e. the rod is not special, just a puzzle tool.

I hope that helps, it seems like this puzzle needs some more info before we can get it. We're assuming a lot of stuff here, but however the correct button arrangement is, only one could be outside of arm's reach for two stacked folks with the tools provided. So if the length is 5 numbers only one could be outside of a small area of the grid, the other 4 being within a few rows of each other. Assuming of course this is a 2 person puzzle and not for the huge group you voided.

Heck, if you can seperare yourself by joint, you have 24 finger segments you can leave in the holes, plus 2 hands. Assuming your wrist stumps count and Miko holds down 2, that's all 30 spaces covered at once. Doubt that's the actual solution, but may as well test everything.

Hmm, considering you have to poke your fingers in the holes... the rod probably needs to be in the 08 hole for my combination. The other holes involved are fairly close together... might have to put your tongue in one of them since you need to poke 5 holes total.

Chopping off the other guys parts isn’t out of the question, is it?
I mean you wore croc armor ( what ever happened to that btw?)
If it is a thing, you could just cram parts in to make it easier on y’all. Wouldn’t have to reach for the top every time.

You might be able to also fill it with the mentioned meat and see if it lets you in for persistence.


That black hole bullet was pretty powerful...

Try 08, 06, 07, 05, 03, 09.

How about a cultist headcount? How many so far? Looks like 1, 3, 1, 1, 8, with 2 possible survivors from the black hole or additional memebers. That's either 13 or 15. Try with the 3, 22, 15, 8, 20 combo, and add 13 in place of 20 or 3 as other derivatives.

The croc armor was unfit for wearing into town so I had to get rid of it... It's a shame, but at least I'm lookin' swell in this new outfit!

People are flittin' in and out of existence around me. They don't seem to be violent, if they're real, so I ignore 'em for now. Even when some of 'em try to get my attention with 'hey's and 'psst's.
So, I can't get a real good idea of the size of everything, cause it keeps changin' around, but Miko juuust barely can't reach far enough to put a finger in the 2 column and the 5 column at the same time.

>Press the loop on the 9
>-beep-
A spell bullet appears! It's a flare spell. Like a signal flare kind, that you can also use to set things on fire if you don't aim it at the sky. Cool!

>try a single finger in a hole
I pop off a finger and put it in a hole. Nothin'! I put my hand in, and that works. So maybe it's gotta be a certain size. My tongue doesn't do the trick either.

>use cultist parts instead of your own
I motion for Miko to follow me. We make our way back, passing by people who don't seem to mind us and might not actually be here. They're talkin' to each other, but for the most part I can't understand the words. I lay out the bodies we slew and make chopping motions to show what I want cut off. Some of the people-or-not-people stand by and watch but don't interfere.
"That's sausages," Miko says, and cuts off the hands and lower arms on the bodies! We carry the parts back.

>00, 03, 22, 15, 08, 20
>03,22,15,08
We try pole in 08, cultist hands in 00, 15, 20, and 22, and an arm in 03. It doesn't work! I take the hands out of 00 and 20, and that does get a result!
"Tier one access granted," says one of the wall-faces. The things in the holes are all violently ejected and singed! Good thing I thought of not using our own parts! The wall of the cavern swings slowly open to reveal a passageway that leads onward, just as the trumpeting stops. I look behind us and there's a whole big crowd of people now!
"Coming to you in this cave in Mount Boom, it's MIS-ter GOOBYYYYY, the eccentric BILLIONAIRE!!" an announcer says. Sounds like it's comin' through giant speakers. The crowd cheers, and there's a white flash back near where the dancers were.
,,"Hey look, it's Mister Gooby, the eccentric billionaire!" The whole crowd says it at once and points to where the flash was, including Miko and I! I can't make out what came in with the flash, but I assume it's Mister Gooby, whatever that means! It does look almost like it could be the Special Gooby on the sign for the minefield… maybe… And I know Goobies make a buzzing sound, but I don't hear one. Maybe on account of the distance and the crowd.

Try detaching your head and holding it up to see if you can get a better look at mister Gooby. If it's a special gooby that could mean, uh, it doesn't die when it explodes or something. See if you can get a bit closer as well.

>>850603

I pop off my head and move it around and squint to see if I can get a better look. The crowd over there's reaching up to try to touch the thing. They start cheerin' and gettin' way more rowdy and chaotic all of a sudden!

I motion to Miko for us to get movin' along through the doorway we opened, fast, and we run! We make good distance, but then...

nuclear fire incinerates me, and I assume a shockwave breaks my charred corpse into pieces and flings them through the tunnel. That's just a guess though!

What should I do differently so that doesn’t happen?

>>850806
You've got that plate on you, right? Hurl it at the flash of light and see if anything happens.

Well how about you try to confront Mister Gooby? It's not like we could've solved the doorway puzzle any faster.

...wait is the big gooby going to explode even if you kill it?
In that case you should make sure the whole room is clear after you kill the two dancers. Go back and investigate the summoning circle, maybe they had a second one since the white flash happened back near the dancers.

Try running out the entrance to this weird dewth cult after opening the wall, if it's a small enough explosion you may just get irradiated and superficially burned.

Plan B: Use entrapment cube spell bullet to contain the unstable gooby before it explodes. Then hold up your caster gun and enthustatically explain to these backwards heathens that this is your boom-stick.

>Special Goobies leave behind an egg sac when they explode, which turns into a Gooby Hive eventually. And then more Goobies just... come out of the hive. Somehow.
Does that mean the Goobie population just expands exponentially over time? Can they be killed without exploding? Can a hive be destroyed before it starts outputting more Goobies?

>nuclear fire incinerates me
Cool is that the first time you've gotten nuked?

>What should I do differently so that doesn’t happen?
If it blew up when you charge it, what happens if you just stay back and let it do its thing unmolested?

You can't outrun a nuke! You'll just have to kill everybody before they set off the Gooby, then.

I think the only way to kill a Gooby without it exploding is to use magic to disintegrate it in a certain way. My money's on them being some kinda magical weapon, but not even the Pretty Posians know where the Goobies came from.
You can squish an egg sac before it becomes a hive. Hives can be broken up, but the Goobies still come out. There's a limited amount in each hive anyway, so it doesn't do ya much good!
This is the first time I've gotten nuked! Yippee!??
We didn't charge it, we ran away down the tunnel that we opened up.

I go back to after we killed the two dancer duders. Miko starts to walk down toward where the puzzle wall is, and this time I keep a lookout for anyone who comes in. I can't tell exactly when they go from being part of the background chaos that swims increasingly in my vision, to being recognizable as people, but as soon as one does I point at it and go
(bark bark!)
and attack with my spear!
"Oh." they fall over and die easily! Miko goes along with it, and we spend some time chopping up these really easy-to-kill dudes that kind of melt into nothing. But they start appearing too fast, especially once the trumpeting starts! While all that's going on, I check out the summoning circle. It looks pretty damn well destroyed!

"Coming to you in this cave in Mount Boom, it's MIS-ter GOOBYYYYY, the eccentric BILLIONAIRE!!" Yep! that's loud!! The white flash happens above me.
"Hey look, it's Mister Gooby, the eccentric billionaire!" They all point at it. I can hear a buzz. I look up.
"Hey look, it's Mister Gooby, the eccentric billionaire!" I point at Mister Gooby! From this distance I can see him clear enough. Previously when I said weird stuff it was only when I tried to talk. Both of these times, I couldn't stop myself from talking or pointing.
"Hey look, it's Mister Gooby, the eccentric billionaire!" She does it too!
I try to toss the plate at Mister Gooby, and then Miko grabs me and runs back out the way we came! I hit him, and his buzzing and speed get more intense, which is normally what happens the first time something touches a Gooby, and the crowd goes crazy like before!
"Scoliosis!" I say, pullin' out my caster gun and waving it at Miko. She doesn't stop runnin'! Better revert.

To before Mister Gooby appeared! I load up the Entrapment Cube bullet and wait for that nuclear bastard to show his fancy... clothes... and shoot him when he does! Miko puts her hand on the gun, but in this case she didn't need to. I've got 'im trapped! I hold up the caster gun.
"These gelatins are what I stand for!" How am I supposed to make quips like this! The crowd is dumbfounded anyway. The announcer's voice comes out of somewhere.
"Hey! You can't do that on television!" I don't see any cameras!

This spell doesn't last long. He should have a smaller explosion when he comes out of it, but considering the size of it before... I need to figure out what I'm gonna do now! I'm sure there's a simple way to avoid dyin' from this Gooby, I just gotta think of it.

Maybe inside that tunnel there's a switch to close the wall behind you? It might be thick enough to shield you from the blast.

"That's cause I did it for the vine, bitches!"
Throw money at the eccentric billionaire before running away.

Maybe if you stick something in one of the holes after the door is done opening, it'll slide shut again, slowly enough for you and Miko to get under before it closes?

Twerk aggressively and mime shaking maracas to scare away the TV cameras. See if playing along with the dream logic gets you anywhere.

>>851115
It's ridiculous enough that it has a shot, DO IT

>>851115
Well if we're playing that angle we could do even ruder things like heckle the gooby.

Grab the cube, throw it off the mountain, and run back inside for cover! Hopefully it'll fall far enough you'll be out of range of the smaller explosion.

>>851103
Noooo my money! We've barely got any so far!

>>851248
I can't grab it! It just holds things in place.

>>851115
>>851157
>>851166
I shake my butt everywhere and mime shaking maracas!
"I'm just here for the confetti!" Was that a heckle?? Miko looks at the cube, bites her lip, and grabs me to run away again! I can understand why...

...

>>851102
So before we get exploded from even closer range, I revert and get us back to having the puzzle solved.
"Coming to you in this cave in Mount Boom," only this time instead of waiting to see what happens, I pull on Miko to move on, we go through the passage that opens up, and there is in fact a button! Musta missed it the first time since we were running. I press it and presto, the wall closes. Score! I can't even hear the crowd really. There are more coins here! Double score. 152 krels.

I get 76 krels!

Everything's still all wobbly and people and things're still appearing and disappearing. I can't smell whatever that smell was anymore, but thinkin' back, that's 'cause I got noseblind to it at some point. We don't see any different paths we can take, so we just keep going.
>-kbbbbBBBBBBBBBBBBBBLLLLLLLLLLlllllllllmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........
Mister Gooby goes off, we get just slightly cooked, the mountain shakes, and we fall to the ground!

It doesn't seem to stop shaking! I don't think I can stand up like this. But we're not nuclear shadows, so that's a big improvement. There's a pool of glowing water nearby, and further along, I think I see outside.

Well normally I'd say be cautious of glowing stuff what with the nuke having gone off. But heck, you can revert, maybe take a look in there to see if anyone dropped stuff. Give it a taste as well, maybe you've discovered some kind of new soft drink?

>>851347
All of this weird shit started happening the moment you first came into the mountain, so I suggest going outside and hoping that everything will go back to normal!

Do the mountain's dew. This has been a strange day, might as well wrap it up with a terrible idea.

>>851347
Start crawling I guess.

I crawl to the pool and take a drink of the water or whatever it is. It taaastes pretty good! It's either a healing spring or I'm hallucinating that my burns are healing. Oh hey, my vision's returning to normal. I give a thumbs up to Miko. She takes a sip and her ear heals!
"Hey, am I talkin' normal?"
"Yeah! You are talkin' normal. Am I?"
"Yep." She nods."Good."
"I'm gonna go back and see if there's any loot."
"Pchhhhhhhhhokay. Let's do it!"

We make our way back toward the door to see if it'll open again. The rumbling mostly dies down by the time we get back to it, and we can walk again. I press the button...

The door opens and a cloud of sparkles and confetti flies out, and a parade, with music and dancers and and shit, starts to come out! That's really concerning! I cough and step through. There's money everywhere!!
"Whaaat, fuckin' score!" Miko says.
As nukes go this must have been a small one, but the whole cavern basically got glassed and now it's all shiny and it's still molten at the epicenter. Weirdly, the place is mostly not that hot now, so I can walk around and pick up krels without melting myself. Miko is more cautious about it than I am, but not by much. By the time we're done, there's nobody else here.

We split the money, and I get 105 more krels! Yippee!

We close the puzzle door when we go, and Just in case, hit up the healing spring before leaving the cave. There's a trail of confetti and glitter going from the cave, down the side of the mountain. Miko sits down and I do the same.
"So how fucked was THAT?"
"That was mmmmegafucked."
"Turbofucked! How much of that was even real?"
"That Gooby seemed really real! But the rest of it, uh..." A piece of confetti floats down. We both silently watch the wind carry it away.
"Maybe it's better not to know."
"Yeah." We sit and watch the trees breezily blow below. Miko stands up first.
"OK!" She claps her hands and rubs them together. "Next thing. Ready?"
"Yeah!" We continue, and this time, a Salamander and a... a thing I don't recognize, both appear from behind some rocks! Whatever it is, it looks tough. There's a hissing behind us, and it turns out there's two more salamanders that sneaked up on us! All three prepare their FIRE BREATH! I dunno what the mystery beastery is doin'.

I realize Miko can just chop cancer off, but don't you need to worry about radioactive fallout, Glinp?

Anyway... hm, try and taunt/kite the salamanders so they spit fire at you, then superjump so as much of the fire as possible hits the mystery guy instead?

>>851835
Stick your spear in a salamander's throat as it starts to breathe fire.

If the salamanders breathe, it might hit Miko. That healing spring is nearby though, so I'm probably worried about nothing. How about taking on the front pair while she takes the back? If you s jump over either pair you'll be splitting how much you each have to deal with in theory. Give that blue monster a stab in the kidneys, or approximate kidney area.

Who is faster
SPEAR or SALAMANDER?
Superjump to find out.

Oh, could you grab Miko and superjump to avoid the flame breath and get out of the pincer attack?

>>851867
Unfortunately, Super Jump doesn't give Glinp super strength. He's way too weak to lift Miko and her big ass sword!

Kill the salamanders behind you so you have some room to maneuver. Avoid getting toasted.

STAB A MANDER

He looks all coiled up, like his attacks involve jumping a lot. Well, try jumping first!

Free heals after the mission will take care of eeeverything!
"Take the back pair!" I say. I try to get the attention of the salamanders behind us and then position myself so flames will hit the beast, and jump before they breathe. Miko redirects the breath from the one next to the beast with her sword, and it hits 'im! Whoa! It doesn't seem to like getting flamed from three directions! It screeches and leaps on Miko before she can turn around to get the ones behind us! When I land, I do succeed at stabbing my salamander, so that's one down at least. Then Miko kicks the beast off the side of the mountain! Geez!
"Scraaaa-!"
>-thumplethp-badupcrashhh-
But uh, now there are two more of those things coming for us from both directions, and they look angry that their buddy just got owned.

>>852066
Gotta break this pincer attacks! See if you can juke on the outside so Miko get on the inside to either run by or knock em off the ledge!

Try luring the salamander on your side to flame at you so it hits the beastie. Miko should have her side under control. Maybe you can hit the beast with the zappy tip to stun him, then go for the kill.

>>852066
Retreat through the salamanders! You can kill one while Miko takes care of the other. Then you can turn around and tangle with the mystery beasts.

Continue to stab salamanders while Miko redirects the beasts to a lower elevation.

The salamanders don't look like they're about to fire breathe again right now. So I stab one, and the other one... gets eaten by one of the blue beasties! Wasn't expecting that! Miko is about to slice at its head when there's a quake! She misses, I lose my footing, she takes a hit from the tail of the beast that came in from the front, and the one that came from behind us pins me with a paw! The quake stops.
"Ufffhhhh!" Dang this thing's really heavy! It's about to strike with its tail when there's a sharp whistle. Both beasts immediately sit. Miko was about to swing at the one pinning me, but stops.
"These boy's givin' you trouble?" says the whistler. "Dreadful sorry. They do like to do their own thang, you know how it is." He looks fashionable!
"Agh... I've had worse!" She puts on a strong face but winces from the fresh wound in her torso. I stand up and look cautiously at the thing that was just about to stab me. It doesn't look like it's gonna attack. It looks remarkably calm! What do I say to this guy?

Howdy pardner!

>>852205
Ah, they're hunting animals, and you got in the way of their hunt.
Maybe you should revert and not kill that first one... well, don't do that yet. Tell him about what happened to the first one, see if it's that big a deal.

Maybe don't come right out and say you booted the one off the ledge, but if he asks don't hide it. Greet him in an informal way and ask if he felt the shockwave from Mr. Gooby earlier, maybe he could see if it had any effect on the outer structure of the mountain.

Hey Buzzard buddy! Thanks for the save!

>>852248
This.

Talk as a distraction for Miko to do something rad.

"Howdy Buzzard buddy! Thanks for the save!"
"Of course." He tilts his hat. "The name's Strine. Just flew up here to collect my little friends."
"That's some impressive command you have of 'em. What are they?"
"Banozian Hunting Beasts. Normally their kind ain't so obedient... but I have my ways." Miko nods.
"Neat... Say, did you feel the shockwave from a big explosion earlier?"
"Hooh, did I! I hadn't hardly landed when somethin' exploded in the volcano and would you believe it, confetti shot outta one o' the caves!" He scratches his head. "Mighty strange. Caused some rockslides. If'n you're plannin' to reach the top, it may take some care, but I reckon you should still be able." He looks like he wants to move along, but we're in the way.

Is there anything else I want to ask him before we let him through?
