Derrick: Talk with Zendo first



You tell Yienna you'll check it out, but first you want to speak with Zendo.

Derrick: Hey!
Zendo: Hello Derrick.
Derrick: So why do you need to contemplate on this mountain?
Zendo: ... My life feels empty.
Zendo: Through contemplation and meditation atop a peak such as this, I believe it will bring me closer to the source of all things, the Creator.
Zendo: For it is He who will give me the direction I seek.
Reggie: Never thought you to be the religious type, Zombie man.
Zendo: Nonsense, all things are derived from a source. And from focus and meditation all things can commune with that source and reconnect to their true purpose if they lose their way.
Zendo: ... I feel as though I've had a burning desire, something that has faded long ago.
Zendo: I wish to get the feeling once more, maybe not the exact one, but something. Anything.
Derrick: ....
Zendo: My tools, they seem as though for trapping and ranged strikes. I think this leads me to believe I was once an experienced fighter.
Zendo: But I don't wish to fight, instead to learn. This is the right place for me.
Derrick: What will you do next?
Zendo: ... I will know when the time comes. This was a good start, I'm glad you decided to come along.
Zendo: Here.

You received 12 ZENDO'S THROWING KNIVES and ZENDO'S TRIPWIRE.

Zendo: Hmm, since you don't have any more room I'll hold onto my parchment paper.
Derrick: Wow, thanks!
Zendo: These things serve me no use, but I cannot get rid of them. More just appear in my coat.
Zendo: If you are to run out, I'll resupply you. And if you are to get more room, I'll give you the paper as well.
Zendo: Consider it a token of my gratitude for your assistance getting us to the peak.

After Zendo gives you the items, he pauses and looks off into the distance, somewhat seemingly lost in thought. Maybe he's done chatting for now...

1. Talk to Uilos
2. Check out Yienna's home

>1 Talk to ya boy Uilos.

We better not ignore the guy we fought so hard to bring up here, and who might have some heavy emotions to talk about

>1

See what our boy Uilos is thinking about

>1 >1 >1

> Talk to the beautiful boy, but BEFORE THAT

> Derrick: ask Zendo if being like that hurts, what with the missing bits and exposed bones. You have a friend who may be able to help him with that, after all, and it may be a good idea for him to consider while he meditates.

Oh damn! So we totally could have built a bridge out of bnothing but endless piles of kunais and razor-wire back there! x3

Oh-well, at least Reggie got to experience his first time under (relatively) friendly and calm circumstances. :P

Yea, seconding this. I personally see no reason why we should beat around the bush instead of proposing to have Emily purify the poor guy already.

Derrick: ... Are you in any pain, Zendo?
Zendo: Pain? No.
Derrick: I mean, you're bleeding. Anda... I can see your bones exposed...
Zendo: Ahh, yes. Funny thing that is, my injuries are only an aspect of my form.
Zendo: I'm sure I didn't always look this way. But rest assured I do not feel pain at all. In fact, there is much I do not feel.
Derrick: Because if you ever want to revert to normal forever, My friend Emily can help you do that.
Zendo: ... Emily, the one who guided me to this land.
Zendo: Perhaps one day, little one.
Zendo: But today is not it.
Derrick: ... Alright.

Derrick: Hey Uilos.
Uilos: Hey!
Uilos: Looks like we made it safe and sound. What was that your realm attendant did?
Reggie: Just a parlor trick from my youth. -v-
Reggie: I can't do it on my own, need permission from the head honcho himself.
Uilos: Can you change into other things?
Reggie: Yep.
Uilos: Like what? How exciting...
Reggie: Ah, but that would spoil the surprise! Maybe one day you'll see.
Uilos: A trade secret... I understand.
Uilos: You know, getting up here is quite a pain.
Derrick: Yeah, no kidding.
Uilos: The reason I cannot use my powers to take us to and fro is because of a lack of nature in this region.
Uilos: Hey, you have the creative chalk on your person, correct?
Derrick: I think so.
Uilos: If you draw up a garden box or something like that, I can use it to take us back to the meadows. But no hurries, enjoy the view.

1. Time to check out Yienna's house
2. Talk to Steve the snowman

>1: But, uhh.... double check to make sure if Steve is a real person or not. In the dream world you can never be too sure.

>1 This should be good

Again, Yienna isn't going anywhere...

>Derrick: No reason to postpone that. Draw a nice, wide garden-box full of mountain-flowers for Uilios. Then check is Steve can talk ...you can never be sure of anything in this realm.

>1
lets not leave yienna waiting any longer, we can do stuff like talking to the snowman and drawing some plants after

>Derrick: check out Yienna’s house, and ask her permission before drawing a gartden box

> 1

I'm 90% sure Steve can't talk, but if he can he won't mind us going to check on Yienna.

Derrick: check out Yienna’s house, and ask her permission before drawing a garden box

Derrick: Okay, may we see your home?
Yienna: Oh, you're ready now. Come.
Derrick: Also, you know what would be a great addition to your yard? A garden box!
Yienna: Nature sounds lovely, Derrick. That sounds like a fine addition.
Derrick: Awesome!

As you follow Yienna into her home, you immediately notice a temperature change. Although this place is made of snow and ice, it's quite warm!

Derrick: It's warm in here!!
Reggie: Yeah, like oddly warm, what gives?
Yienna: I'm not quite sure to be honest. My guess is that my idea of a home is cosy, so it became like that?
Reggie: ..... (Be careful with this one, Derrick.)
Derrick: ???
Reggie: (A monster that can affect their surroundings like this is quite adept, she did say she was up here training y'know.)
Yienna: Well, here we are, this is the main area. Upstairs is my private space, so we won't be going there.
Derrick: What's that notebook?
Yienna: Hm? Oh that old thing? I found it up here, though it's empty. Still thought I'd hold onto it.
Reggie: Your plant looks sick.
Yienna: Oh yes, I found it up here too. I scooped up the snow it was growing in and reshaped it into a pot and took it home.
Yienna: Even in the light it still looks like that, I don't really understand why.
Derrick: Uilos knows a thing or two about plants, maybe he can help it.
Yienna: .....
Yienna: It's too soon, I spent all of my time in these mountains because of him...
Yienna: I'll warm up to it, but I'm still not ready.
Derrick: Okay.
Derrick: Your bookshelf is empty.
Yienna: I liked to read, I haven't been able to since, you know.
Yienna: I imagined that one day I would explore and collect books or possibly even write some.
Yienna: I never thought this day would come so... easily.
Derrick: Is that carpet... a drawing?
Yienna: Yes! pretty cool, right?
Yienna: It took quite some time, please don't ruin it...
Derrick: I'll try not to, heh.
Derrick: .... You said your powers had a limit distance wise. What did you mean?
Yienna: I have to focus to keep my bloodcicles in their ice state, if I stop paying attention to one, it will deform and return to blood.
Yienna: There is a limit to how far I can do this and keep track of it.
Yienna: I've noticed that within a certain range, the bloodcicles I create can be quite detailed and plentiful when they're close to me but the further out, some will slip my mind and deform. I've been honing the distance with my home. As you've probably noticed, it's still quite stable even though I was very far away from it.
Derrick: This has been on my mind, yes.
Yienna: That's because my home is my foundation. I'm always thinking about it and can see it clearly in my head at all times. At first I practiced with my horns, and then escalated.
Yienna: Now I sometimes have trouble keeping my horns if I get startled or hurt, but my home will never falter.
Derrick: Interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Yienna: Although my home looks quite simple, I want to improve it.
Yienna: The snow floor is something I grow tired of, I want to see green grass, and wood flooring.
Yienna: Might you know of a way to make this happen?
Derrick: .... I really think that getting Uilos' help will be what you want. He's the expert.
Yienna: .......
Derrick: I know you're still going through some things, so when you're feeling better, think about it.
Yienna: Okay.
Yienna: Well, I'm ready to leave now. Stop by any time, Derrick.
Derrick: Thanks for the tour!

>Derrick: ask if you could take a look at the notebook, just out of curiosity, be mindful not to step over the carpet

Upon closer inspection, you can see that there is dried blood on the worn-looking cover.

Log number: -smudged-

It seems that "Uilos" thinks that we are to blame for why he thinks he is weak. He said we were holding him from his "true purpose" or something, but I know that something has affected his mind! He uses words that aren't like him, I don't know what to think anymore. "Friend 1" and "Friend 2" Are with me and we're headed to Heaven's peak... They think the height will grant him clarity and it's our only attempt to heal him. I hope it works.

You think that this must have been a journal to someone in Uilos' time in Loham.

> Derrick: Test if you can craft by trying to combine WARM REACH with ZENDO'S TRIPWIRE. Regardless of the outcome, ask Yienna if you could have or borrow the book, potentially offering to trade her another notebook for it.

I'll split post into several commands for ease of use:

> Derrick: try to remember Uilos' real name and see if that changes what the log looks like. Then check whatever the last entry looks like.

> Ask Yienna if she can read it.

> Ask Yienna if she'd be willing to also let you draw a door for ease of access for you and your group. If she's willing, not only could you visit, but you'd be happy to loan/exchange some books with her, especially if she's willing to give you this one.

Seconding the first two, but unseconding the last.
Remember, she's not comfortable with the idea of Uilios having access to her home in any way shape or form.
That garden-box is best planted outside for now :)
Instead, let's have her warm up to the idea of us creating random things (pun semi-intended x)

>Derrick: Before you leave, offer her a house-warming gift by proposing to make the carpet real using a creation-stone fragment.

Derrick: try to remember Uilos' real name and see if that changes what the log looks like. Then check whatever the last entry looks like



You recall Uilos revealing his real name to you. However that didn't change how it appeared in the book. You also skimmed through the rest of the pages, but there only contained one log.

Derrick: Hey Yienna, there was one log in there, did you know?
Yienna: Wha--? No way, Derrick. I looked through carefully. Let me see again.

You return to the log entry you had read. Yienna confirms that the page is blank, however you can read it.

Derrick: Before you leave, offer her a house-warming gift by proposing to make the carpet real using a creation-stone fragment



You ask Yienna if she would like to immortalize her carpet as a house warming gift, she gratefully accepts! You simply trace the lines she had drawn herself.



And it's done! It only took 10 fragments to create.

Yienna: -Gasps- Derrick... It's beautiful...
Yienna: I love it a lot.... Thank you.
Derrick: No problem.
Yienna: What is that magical substance?
Derrick: It's called black creation stone. It exists in Loham's depths.
Yienna: How lucky am I to have met an artist with vision.
Derrick: ??
Yienna: How did you know that the carpet was blue and the circles were bubbles??
Yienna: It's like you read my thoughts.
Derrick: I... didn't heh, I just traced what you made.
Derrick: Maybe that's why.
Yienna: Still, amazing.
Yienna: Will you create the garden box the same way?
Derrick: Yes.
Yienna: Eeeee!

Well, they say we can't really make friends with normal monsters, but I think we're off to a good start. Look how happy she is.
