>Lucia: Call demented and deranged strike on the monster
>Derrick: Throw one of the throwing knives at the monster
>Bambino: Bap Derrick and Lucia away

edit: Seconding amob instead.

Unseconding your seconding.

>Lucia: Say Deranged and Demented Strike
>Bambino: mask form again
>Derrick: run the heck away

Honestly seconding
If we can we could get eyeball to second phase, but either way we should GTFO and regroup. Maybe wait till Reggie and Ira are back, get some friendlies and get Mr. Eyeball on our own terms.

Remember, even if Lucas is with Truth Wazoswky as long as we got Bambino we can pap any maddened dreamer into kingdom come away from battle

Unseconding your seconding.

>Kremwahl: Give this monster the same treatment you gave Zendo, and aim to draw in and punish the malevolent entity controlling it and your friends.

(I still think this is our best bet, otherwise the entity might still possess Lucas when this eyeball is done with.)

Unseconding. Invoking Kremwahl is the last thing we need right now

Downvoting, Derrick wouldn't run from his reaper friends.

Okay okay best option.
>Lucia: Remove yourself from Derrick, it's time for you to be useful. Remember you have to have vhinness set up the dark asylum for you to use it. Remember your emotions for this creature, he hurt Lexxi, Emily, Lucas, Derrick, the reapers, and killed ira. You need vhinness to start the asylum then you'll navigate and kill this monster.

Downvoting. Everything points toward running being the best strategy.

Running will allow us to regain all spent abilities, commune with shadows for more power, and craft items for even more power.

>Derrick:Ride bambino and physically drag the eyeball far away so you can use hell banquet on it.

Also guys how do I make a pfp image?

>Derrick:Ride bambino and physically drag the eyeball far away so you can use hell banquet on it.
>Lucia:Make sure you leave off of Derrick before this.

Downvoting this because we were already told dragging things is nebulously unallowed(?) or at least tricky and nigh impossible.

also i’m unleashing my ultimate forum technique: consecutive downvotes and unseconding all of slamducks unseconds. The spirit of democracy and the will of the forum users will be preserved.

Uno reverse, all the downvotes and unseconding became upvotes and secondings

Lucia: Say Deranged and Demented Strike. Bambino: mask form again. Derrick: run the heck away



Lucia shouts "demented and deranged STRIKE!" Suddenly it becomes deathly quiet... You can't even hear the ambience of the realm..!



It's a hit! The available reapers struck Blou'gazh 6 times! The cumulative damage multiplied by 2 for a fake-out opportunity and 1.5 for back attack adds up to 3,478 damage! Blou-gazh is defeated.

Lucia: Derrick, what the actual shit is going on??
Derrick: Seems there was a little guy living in his head, maybe that's why he was so crazy.
Lucia: We can't leave things like this...
Derrick: We don't have much of a choice, a lot of things went wrong back there. Let's go home. We can think up our next movie while we're not sweating bullets.
Lucia: ... I just noticed, this land doesn't have short cuts... How the heck are we getting back?
Derrick: Well, we can go find my sister.
Lucia: .....It's tempting at this point...
Derrick: But I remember Lucas' living out here. That's probably closer.
Derrick: Remember no flying, these eyeball guys will see us immediately.
Lucia: How are we supposed to scout if we can't at least get a bird's view?
Derrick: We'll circle around and head east. Should run into a kool-aid river that can lead us there.
Lucia: .... Wait...
Lucia: That evil presence from before is coming close...
Lucia: ... It's... definitely Lucas from this range... But why does he feel evil??
Derrick: Probably something to do with why Lexii turned on us.
Lucia: I think he did something to Reggie...
Derrick: Damn... This will be tricky.

You've never heard Reggie squawk the way he did when he allegedly made contact with a supposed Lucas. Should Reggie's advice be considered or is getting back as soon as possible likely the smarter play?

1. Head to Lucas house (Likely Lucas encounter)
2. Take the long road to Alice's house.

>1: You can avoid Lucas by changing dream levels. And you'll be able to meet back with Reggie that way.

>2: Go to Alice's house. You'll make better time if move there on dream level 2, and you can meet back up with reggie that way too.

Upvoting. Regrouping with reggie for however short a meeting is what i was going to suggest anyway

Adding:

Lucia: Looking at that thing... I feel a huge sense of dread... It's almost overwhelming...
Lucia: I'll remember this feeling for when we go looking for it again.
Derrick: Alright, I'll leave it to you.
Lucia: Right now, we'll head deeper within the darkness to get the Realm attendants.

Lucia puts two fingers on your forehead... For a moment you can see yourself in front of you.

Derrick: Ugh.... That's going to take some getting used to.
Reggie: KIDDO!!
Derrick: Ahh, hi Reggie.
Reggie: This is not a "Hi Reggie" moment dude, shit is fucked.
Reggie: I staked out this location because the cookie is here, I figured you'd look for me eventually.
Kalem: Yes, I'm here too...
Kalem: Good grief what do we have on our hands...
Kalem: Did that cat not warn the only dawn guardian on the dangers of his own realm??
Reggie: For good measure, I did. That's why I pulled him away briefly.
Kalem: Hmmm...?
Kalem: I see. What business would you have to overstep like that?
Reggie: Covering our asses, clearly!
Reggie: Anyways, grab the cookie and let's walk and talk. Lucas is still here.
Lucia: Huh? How? We left ground level behind.
Reggie: I'll explain once we're far enough away.

You take a break in the shade of faded fields to take in the current situation...

Reggie: Okay here's the situation. A number of our friends are crazy.
Reggie: But that isn't the bad part, well... The second bad part is Emily, the one to retrieve us is crazy too so we're sort of stuck on this level.
Reggie: But the MAIN bad part is Lucas, the guardian of understanding shit is crazy.
Reggie: So he's like... not crazy. It's very much worse.
Lucia: Wait, I don't get it.
Reggie: I didn't expect you too right away, keep listening.
Reggie: Much like what we experienced with Lethos, is happening here.
Kalem: Uhm, what happened with Lethos?
Lucia: She went super crazy and almost destroyed the realm!!
Kalem: ...........
Reggie: Christ, Lucia...
Lucia: Huh? It was a secret?
Kalem: Interesting... You're off your game, Bird.
Kalem: Covering our asses? Seems like it was just yours.
Kalem: I hope you weren't expecting sympathy.
Kalem: I guess this is why you were acting all sneaky.
Reggie: Listen, we can still fix this. We'll take out the conduit and all will be well.
Kalem: What of your realm?
Reggie: There's nothing to worry about there.
Kalem: Hmmm...?
Kalem: Listen up guys. Because I don't bullshit my guardians.
Kalem: If too many monsters go crazy in a realm you must shut it down.
Kalem: The reason for this is because it'll be more likely that you will go crazy than not, and you won't be able to stay with us.
Lucia: What do you mean?
Kalem: It's a cancer, this truth stuff. The more it affects you the less likely you will show up here.
Kalem: You will stop lucid dreaming for good after a while.
Kalem: This is bad for both of us, for different reasons I can't really get into right now.
Kalem: The bird was being sneaky because he doesn't want to be fired.
Kalem: If you're wondering what happens if you let the cancer fester... it will effect our realms too.
Kalem: Then we'll be out of business too.
Kalem: Very selfish hiding such information.
Reggie: I handled it, alright!
Reggie: Sheesh, you're worrying over nothing.
Kalem: Nothing? The guardian who can destroy this realm if he receives the truth has in fact received the truth.
Kalem: This is more than nothing.
Reggie: Well lucky for us, he's paired with an illusion guardian.
Kalem: .... That might be enough.
Kalem: Might.
Kalem: If it fails, we're gunna have to make some hard choices.
Lucia: I'm so lost here...
Reggie: Listen, Lucia. Wait, first--
Reggie: Derrick, are you following?
Kalem: Yes.
Kalem: We need to defeat the thing that made our friends crazy to fix this.
Kalem: But... it's rather freaky looking right now... There is something else inside of it taking over.
Reggie: A void bitch.
Reggie: We definitely need Alice for this.
Kalem: Then let's go.

Alice: We like to go on the lower levels to do it.
Derrick: I see.
Alice: Well, that can wait now, whatever you're getting into I'm coming too.

>Derrick: Tell Alice and DT about the monster as best you can. Mention how it made the others crazy and that a hole to the void opened up in its face when something started taking over.

>Reggie: Maybe you should have a private conversation with just only you, dt, and kalem. You can't discuss alot with the dreamers around. Try to distract Derrick by telling him to start gearing up for the upcoming fight.
