>Before going, ask what Raziel was conjured from.

Lexii: Scout the area. Before going, ask what Raziel was conjured from

Show ChatlogShow

Lexii: Hey Alice? What did you use to conjure your big friend here?
Alice: Razzy has always been with me. Just like DT.
Alice: I don't know where he came from.
Lexii: Huh.
Lexii: Okay, I'm going to make sure the coast is clear.
Alice: Good luck!

You begin scouting the area. You see something outside of Lucas' room!

Show ChatlogShow

Alice: That was fast.
Lexii: There is something right outside the bedroom.
Lexii: Hermes, Kalem!
Kalem: Hey there, Lexii.
Hermes: Reinforcements have arrived, worry no longer!

>Alice, since you are the most well armored, grab Kalem and DT and try to scout the monster stats

>Lexii: Alice wasn't keen on fighting, and while you may be good at running away, it'd just send you straight back into the fort if you did it here. Ask hermes if you have any skills that help you get around monsters.

Lexii: Hermes, do I have any skills to avoid monsters?
Hermes: Hmm...
Hermes: Not that I think. However I may have a program for that.
Hermes: Further investigation is required, though.
Lexii: Great...
Alice: Hey, DT.
DT: Yes, Master?
Alice: Maybe I have some skill I can use. What do you think?
DT: Uhh...
DT: Probably, only I'm not sure of your skill set.
DT: You're going to have to ask Raziel for that.
Alice: But he can't or won't talk to me!
DT: Yes, that is the issue, isn't it.

Not much else you can do but try something and hope for the best.

>Alice: Play charades with Raziel in order to learn your skills from him.

>Alice: try to cut the wire inbetween Raz's teeth

>Lexii: Remember that you are wearing the Rumor's set; you can become imperceptible. Also ask Alice if she can create some kind of decoy with her powers to lure the monster away so she can get by.

>Lexii: Ask Kalem if mute conjurations are common.
>Alice: Perhaps you could switch dream levels to get around the monster?

Alice: try to cut the wire inbetween Raz's teeth



You contemplate severing the stitches binding Raziel's teeth together...

You can't imagine removing a single stitch from your lovable companion. He's damaged enough as it is and you're sure if he wants to tell you something important, he will. Or perhaps he simply has nothing nice to say.

Show ChatlogShow

Lexii: Say Kalem, is it common to have conjures that don't communicate?
Kalem: All conjurations are able to communicate, I'm just not sure why some refuse to.
Kalem: It may be for her own benefit, who knows?
Lexii: Hmm...
Alice: It's okay, Razzy. You can talk when you feel like it.
DT: It is a bit of a nuisance. Your skill tree is a mystery without his help.
Alice: In that case, I'll just figure it out as I go.
Alice: Dream levels are still a thing, right? Why not we try that?
Alice: Actually... I have an even better idea. Hehe...
DT: Oh?
Alice: I'll call you if it works.
Lexii: Wait, you're not going out there are you??

You pop out of Lucas' room to see what all the fuss is about. You stumble upon a weird creature hunched over with a flesh blanket on them.

Alice: Hey!
Evizzor: ...?
Evizzor: Oh, a girl? You're different from the others.
Evizzor: Would you like to play?
Alice: Oh, sorry I just wanted to tell you that...
Alice: "I heard from a little kitten that you might have left the oven on".
Alice: You should probably check... Don't want your house on fire, right?
Evizzor: ......
Evizzor: You... think so?
Evizzor: We will play when I return then... Don't move.
Alice: Roger dodger!

Evizzor scuttles off briskly.

Alice: Hey you guys! Come on out, it's safe!

Show ChatlogShow

DT: Hmm! Look at you, Master!
DT: Coming up with your own little tricks!
Lexii: What did you do, Alice?
Alice: I didn't do anything. I just told him he might have left his oven on.
Alice: I'm surprised he believed me to be honest.
DT: You have quite the way with words, Master.
DT: Use your power carefully and with caution.

You discovered your own skill "my little kitten"! fabricate stories to lead your enemies astray, however don't get cocky! Some may not believe everything you say, especially if they've heard your tall tales before.



You all exit Lucas' home into the blood drop meadows. Seems you have some options.

1. Visit the other mountain ( journey to Mt. Wiccan)
2.  Explore Blood drop meadows properly.
3. ...

>Alice: Ask DT which place does he suggest exploring

>Alice: Ask DT which place does he suggest exploring

Seconding and adding >Alice: Also ask where Audrey would be found

=>



You ask DT what region you should explore first. He figures since you're already here, might as well explore the meadows properly.

Show ChatlogShow

Alice: That girl from before... Where do you think she is, DT?
DT: Probably somewhere minding her own business. From what I recall she likes to hang around Gorge valley. Might be a dangerous place to pass through.
Alice: We'll sort her out sooner or later.

With much trekking, you all come across a field of strange white flowers surrounding a gaping hole in the ground.

Show ChatlogShow

Lexii: Geez.... Now that's a big hole.
Lexii: Do you think those weird horse things and floaty eyes come out this far?
DT: We're in the meadows, so that is a possibility. Keep an eye out.

Show ChatlogShow

Alice: What is this place, DT?
DT: This is the Spiraling descent. A winding staircase around a big hole. If you choose to head down this way you might start going a little bonkers. If we can make it to the bottom safely, Your death bed and realm gate awaits.
DT: What do you want to do?

As your journey presses on you've begun to notice that the colossal creatures in the distance slowly are becoming more colossal. If they spot you it may be a dead end, so be prepared to hide any way you can.

>Lexii: Ask DT to elaborate. Does "bonkers" mean lunacy?

Lexii: Ask DT to elaborate. Does "bonkers" mean lunacy?

Show ChatlogShow

Lexii: What do you mean by "Bonkers" DT?
DT: Really? Coocoo crazy. Bananas. Off your rocker?
DT: You will start to see and hear things. It could cause you to slip, fall and die.
DT: It will also get darker so there's that as well.
Lexii: Ahhh...
DT: Well?

1. Venture down into the Spiraling Descent
2. Go around and keep exploring

>2.

Neither of them are well equipped for wacky brain magic. At least as far as we know, since alice is still a mystery.

Should we consider the option of crafting falling-damage-negation gear, KOing her, and throwing her down the pit to avoid the brain-whammies?

>2. Keep exploring elsewhere, that weird rock looks sus

Alice: Go around and keep exploring

Show ChatlogShow

Alice: Hmm, I don't think we're ready for a trip to looney-town just yet.
Alice: Onwards!
DT: As you wish, Master.

Show ChatlogShow

Alice: Hoho, check out that thing.
Alice: See it?
Lexii: What is that?? Should we run?
Alice: We'll know soon enough, here it comes.

You are all confronted by... some sort of dark ghost...

Show ChatlogShow

Alice: Well, look at you. Come 'round here often?
???: Children...? Lost....
Alice: Not all who wander are lost, spooky.
Alice: DT, what are we dealing with here?
Lexii: Kalem, you take a look as well...

Show ChatlogShow

Kalem: This thing is called Katoth. Has a bit of teeth on it, as well as beefy vitality. However it's intel and speed are rather low in comparison.
DT: Hmm... Looks like it's weak to magic attacks. Remember that if any of you have learned the way of the wand.
DT: Nothing worth stealing, and has no trust for us.
Alice: Interesting. Friend or foe?
DT: Not sure. owo"
Kalem: Same here.
Katoth: Children... Me... Friend...
Katoth: Nice....
Katoth: Look for... safe place... Red giant... Kill all...
Katoth: Help...?
Alice: Eww, it wants our help. Disgusting...
Katoth: ...??
Alice: What are you guys thinking? Kill or keep moving?
Lexii: I uhh... I don't know...
DT: It's up to you, but didn't you say you don't want to fight?
Alice: I mean, I don't. But do you want spooky following us or something else?

Oh Alice... why are you like this -_-)
I'm personally of the mind that we shouldn't battle anything while we're trying to get away from those behemoths.

>Alice: Tell Katoth they can hide from the giants down the hole back there.

Seeing as how they can float, it's unlikely they'll slip and fall too far down.

>Alice: use this opportunity to practice your powers, see what else you can do

>Alice: confuse the monster with clones of raziel, while raziel attacks the monster, triplicated by DT’s ability’s
>lexii&Hermes: stay safe and attack while the monster is distracted

Alice: Tell Katoth they can hide from the giants down the hole back there

Show ChatlogShow

Alice: There's a hole back there you can crawl into if you're so afraid.
Katoth: .... I can stay... With children instead?
Alice: Uhm, no.
Katoth: Safer... In group.
DT: Master has decided against it, creep!
Katoth: .... Insolent...
Alice: Oh, you don't understand English? Read my lips.
Alice: GET. LOST.
Hermes: Loading Battle data now!
Kalem: D-dang... We really doing this?
Katoth: We can... All die...
Katoth: Together..!!
Alice: Razzy, mess this guy up. DT assist!
DT: Yes, Master!

Raziel furiously swipes at Katoth! His strikes are three times as vicious thanks to DT, but Katoth remains unharmed!

Show ChatlogShow

Katoth: TEEHEE....
Katoth: Cat claw tickles...

Katoth swipes back at Raziel, but misses!

Show ChatlogShow

Alice: DT, tag team!
DT: Right away, Master.

DT suddenly appears to be... Alice as well!

Show ChatlogShow

Katoth: Small kitty... Child as well?
Alice: Hey spooky.
Alice: Did you know my little kitten can do magic tricks?
Katoth: ...?!
DT: I can? I--
Alice: Yeah! do something!
DT: Oho, you picked the wrong day to cross us!
DT: TASTE LIGHTNING!

DT casts LIGHTNING STRIKE on Katoth for 32 damage, boosting to 50 by critical hit!



Katoth flings its gelatinous arm at Lexii for 120 damage! Lexii is inflicted with Tar. This will continually sap her HP and hinder movement!

>Lexii: Alice is making the monster believe her double is casting spells. See if it works for you, shout "Fireball" and throw Kalem at where the monster's mouth was.

Wait, does this world actually run on turn-based RPG rules? Why didn't Raz stop the creature from getting into attack range of Alice?
