You smash through the wall with your time fuckery, landing nicely on the other side.

"How do you keep doing that?" Safi asks.
"Practice" You reply.

"What was that?" Abigail asks.
"It was-" You start, but Safi interrupts.

"A secret" She says. "One that you shouldn't be going around telling everyone, dear brother"
"My bad" You say.
"Bah, you guys suck" Abigail says.

"We're not your allies, remember?" Safi says. "In fact, if I recall correctly your endgame requires Saif to be dead"
"Or he could surrender" Abigail says.
"Not gonna happen" You say.

"Even if you think you might die?" Abigail asks.
"I'm a resilient guy" You say. "And I have some personal reasons for seeing this through"

"But you're uninitiated, and unregistered" Abigail says. "You have nothing to do with any of this! What could possibly make it personal? And don't say it's her. According to the Creator, you were fine with trying to kill her before"

Yeah, mages weren't more powerful, they were just out in the open. And they sure as HELL weren't on top. No human was.

In Kyla's own words, you couldn't take a shit without praying to some god, or another.

Not to mention the fact that friends killing each other, without each others knowledge, for something as stupid as a wish they can't live with, once they slowly realize what they've done?

The gods don't care. They probably take bets on who kills who's loved ones.

They just want the mana.

"Do you honestly believe the Golden Age will be better?" You ask.
"I would hope so" Abigail says.

"It won't. You think that the mage will be supreme because they have the gods behind them? All you'll be doing is trading one master for another" You say. "I for one would rather live in imposed secrecy under humans than live in the limelight under the gods' thumb"

"You make it sound like the Golden Age would be a bad thing" Abigail says.
"Look around" You say. "The one time that the gods get to come to Earth, and what do they do? They make us fight to the death for their own benefit. This will be it, Abigail. Your golden, shining future will be nothing but a scramble for favour from beings that don't give a damn about you"

"You sound like a Templar" She says. "They always have the same messa-"

"I've SEEN it" You say. "It's not a better world"
"So you won't be convinced then..." She says. "But if it comes down to it, will you kill me to make your wish a reality?"

"I'd prefer it if I didn't have to" You say. "You're still my friend, and I don't want to see you get hurt... but"
"Buuuut?" Abigail asks.
"I don't know... you've all been faceless mooks, most of whom I would only kill in self defense anyway. But now... if it came down to it..."

Not that we're naive enough to believe that if it came to it she would return the favor. If she forced it, we'd feel bad about it but we'd do what needed to be done to not die.

"I'd rather not kill you if I can, but..." You say. "The real question is: will you make me?"

"Will I... I mean... I don't want to, I just..." She stumbles with her words, then looks you in the eyes, throws hr arms over your shoulders and kisses you. Her tongue darts into your mouth, exploring it for a brief moment before she hops back. "Does that answer your question?"

"Not really, I was hoping for more words... and less tongue" You say, checking around to see Safi's reaction to that.

Safi gives you a smile and a thumbs up...

"If I had to say it... I don't want to go down without a fight. But I can't say I'll put up much of one. Just be a little rough with me, and I'll roll over for you" She says, with a wink to cap it off.
"Abigail, please be serious" You say.

"I am being serious" She says. "Make it look like I tried to put up a fight, and I'll give it up before I end up dead"
"So you'll-"

"It's not my damn wish anyways" She says. "I could honestly care less how this all turns out"
"Why are you here then?" You ask.
She shrugs. "Family" She says. "I'm supposed to take this thing for the home team... or something... Miles and Mila are loyal to me, but they're loyal to my parents too. They protect me all the time, but they watch me too..."

"Which is why you can speak freely right now" Safi says. You get the feeling that she knows how Abigail feels...

Abigail nods. "I do still want to find them though, so we should get moving"
"Yeah, that sounds like a plan" You say

>[1/2]
>>
Guys this is the solution! We don't have to settle blood moon with violence, we instead settle it with our dick.
>>
The three of you move through the corridor in the direction that Abigail points you in.

"Do you really plan on getting through this without killing anyone?" Abigail asks.
"Other than Harvey? I'd prefer it that way" You say. "Especially since every time I discover someone's identity it ends up being someone close to me"

"The Scholar was someone you knew?" Abigail asks.
"Gah! Don't say it!" Safi says. "If he says it in front of me, then Harvey finds out. You two can have this conversation on your own time!"

"Ah, yes... I had forgotten about that" Abigail says. "How did Harvey end up with one of you and not the other?"
"I awakened and then escaped" You say.
"I didn't" Safi says.

"I see..." Abigail says. "Is there a reason why he sent you in alone?"
"He wants to wear Saif out because he touched a nerve" Safi says.
"Which one? Harvey's got nothing but" Abigail says.

"He told him that no one loves him" Safi says.
"Ahh, the bitter truth" Abigail says. "Always a bitter pill"

We can learn more about other champions when we talk to her in private without Safi. Also we have a good suspision on the other champion group she would probably know, which is stone-hand and butcher who is most likely Claire and Julia.
>>
"So why do you actually hate Harvey?" You ask. "I'm curious, now that the whole 'taboo magical reasons' thing is out of the way"

"Probably the same reason you do" She says. "But I'm not sure we should be talking about this in front of Safi"
"Yeah, maybe you two could talk about this shit tomorrow?" Safi asks. "I'm all for talking about how much we hate the guy, but I'm the one who has to tell him all this stuff and he's been known to shoot the messenger"

"Oh... yeah" You say. "Sorry Saf"

"It's fine. We'll have all the time in the world for this stuff after this is all over" She says, leaning her head onto your shoulder as you walk.
"Yeah" You say.

"Can I just say that you two are adorable?" Abigail says.
"Mostly her. I'm handsome, not cute" You say.
"Oh, right. Silly me" Abigail says. "But I'm surprised, to be honest. I thought you would have thrown your hat in with the Templars by now, or that you would at least be looking for them"

"I think I know who they are. I was going to go see them tomorrow" You say.
"That might be unwise. We can't all smash through walls and flip Minotaurs" Abigail says. "I was actually hiding from that one until you guys showed up"

"Well, the Traitor seems to be able to-"

"The Traitor has been slain" A feminine voice calls through the labyrinth.

"hold... her own..." You finish.

You stand still in shock. Did you hear that right?

"You alright Saif?" Safi asks. "You don't feel alright"

"I'm... uhh... I'm not sure" You say. "Until now I was hoping I was right about who it was, now I feel differently"

"Who did you think it was?" Abigail asks.
"Yu-yui..." You say.
"Oh... well... she is registered as a mage... and a pyromancer" Abigail says. "But I didn't think she was a part of this"
"You have different info than I do then" Safi says. "Her and Boss are both GT. The abilities line up"

"I hope that's just coincidence then" Abigail says. "Saif... are you going to be alright?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine. I'll call her when I get out... she'll complain, I know. but it's worth a shot right?" You ask.

The answer is drowned out by a roar. Several roars.

Several roars and a lot of footsteps...

A dragon, and a phalanx of skeleton soldiers round the corner ahead of you.

"Saif, we should ru-"

You charge. Blood and mana coursing through your veins and pathways. Your body feels light as a feather, yet your mind weighs heavy.

The skeletons form a line, and attempt to bar your way with their shields as the dragon breathes in. You swipe your hand across the Archive and grab a grenade, then you chuck it into the dragon's gaping maw. In the same movement, you put all of your weight into your shoulder and slam through the skeletal barricade.

There are more skeletons around you, so you enter fast-time and pick your targets. The skeletons each seem to have a core, so you aim for that. Within seconds, you've taken apart several.

A blast of lightning from Safi cuts a swath in their ranks, and a burst of wind from Abigail (probably) knocks them away.

"Damn it Saif! We need to g-"

The sound of Safi's voice is drowned out by further bellows.

The fight continues as more creatures file in. You feel more than see the invisible strings pulling them to you.

The fight goes well, for a while.

Eventually the tide begins to push you back, and your support from the ladies gets turned on the new wave approaching from the rear.

"Damn it, Saif! We need to go!" Safi shouts.
"Fine. Lead the way" You say.

She nods, and blasts a hole in the wall using a spell you haven't seen.

Through the hole, there are more monsters. Desperate, Safi blasts another hole. More monsters.

The puppeteer must be watching. He knows that the walls don't hurt you...

"Fuck..." Safi says.
"Damn it... where the hell are these all coming from?" Abigail asks.

You close in until your backs are to each other.

"I really hope that one of you has a trick of some sort, because I've got nothing" Abigail says.
"Nothing that can take out all of this..." Safi says.

Now might be a bad time to discuss. But maybe when it the blood moon hits phase two that is when the masks come off, would explain why we saw no one wearing a mask in Kayla's memories.

Smiley, you know if you are doing this here, then it is only fair the you kill off Laura in DW. Thats how it works right? Also if you are concern that your quests are too dark, I would say not to worry, your audience can handle it, I don't think anyone here will react like they did in planefag's quest.

"I have explosives" You say.
"That may not help, unless you've got enough to take out a city block" Abigail says. "But if you do, I can keep us mostly safe"

"Well, whatever barrier you have, put it up within the next five seconds" You say, swiping your hand across the Archive and grabbing the biggest, baddest bomb in there.

It's an actual oversized bomb, as in the kind that is normally dropped from a plane. It's big, it's heavy as all fucking hell, and it's on a five second timer.

You strengthen your arms and heave, throwing it up into the air as far as you can. Then Safi grabs both you and Abigail and pulls you under her. You feel yourself entering slow-time involuntarily.

You didn't know that you could pull another person into altered-time. You're going to have to try that.

Outside your little bubble of slow-time, the bomb goes off. Even in your slowed state, you feel the shockwave. As soon as it's done, Safi lets go of the two of you. You stand and admire the wreckage.

The walls of the labyrinth are completely destroyed in a decent radius around you, and there's no sign of the monsters.

"I don't even want to know where you got that" Abigail says.
"Neither do I" You reply. "Now let's go, we still need to find-

"The Traveller has been slain" The female voice calls once more.

The three of you exchange looks.
"Mila... no..." Abigail says.
"Shit..." Safi says. "We still need to move! There's no telling when those monsters are coming back, and I doubt you have another one of those!"
"Yeah, let's get going" You say, grabbing Abigail's hand as you make a break for it.

The three of you run out of the blast radius and back into the labyrinth just in time, as the walls above the blast quickly started to cave in after being destroyed by the bomb.

You can just barely see the top. Maybe tomorrow night you'll try and make it up there. There's gotta be a way to do it...

"The Berserker has been slain" The female voice calls once more. You're starting to hate that announcer.

Abigail stops running. "Not Miles too..." She says.
"You think they both got done in by the same person?" Safi asks.
"Without a d-... a doubt..." Abigail says. You can almost hear anger or hatred in her tone.

"Come on, we need to keep going" Safi says.
"No... I'm no good to you now... just go on without me" She says. "I have nothing to offer without them"

You can't see her face under her bangs, as she hangs her head. But you can make out the tears falling from beneath them...

Guys, we still might be able to rely on the go back in time wish. I remember it was brought up but we never asked Kayla about it. Maybe we can fix this all.

"I'm not leaving you behind, Abigail" You say.
"Our deal was to last until I met up with my allies. They're dead now. Our deal is done" Abigail says.

"You see it that way. As far as I'm concerned, that means that it lasts indefinitely now" You say. "So you're coming with us. Even if I have to damn well carry you"

"Why won't you just go?!" She asks.
"Because I've already god damn well lost one person who's important to me, Abigail. If I have to fucking drag you around this arena to make sure you don't get killed too, then I will fucking drag you!" You say.

...

"Okay, fine" You say, slinging Abigail over your shoulder. "You wanna get dragged, I'm down to fuckin' drag"
"Ahh! Saif, put me down!" Abigail shouts.

"You should just accept this. If he's not dragging you, I am" Safi says.
"You guys..." Abigail says. "Fine... put me down, I'll stay with you..."

"No" You say. "You had your chance to walk next to us with dignity. Now you get carried"

>[1/2]
>>
You continue to make your way into the labyrinth with Abigail over your shoulder.

You don't run into any more monsters. Maybe the puppeteer learned that that weak shit won't get you... or he's rallying the swarm for another horde assault.

You check your watch, and there's only 10 minutes left in this arena. So if they're going to do that, then it'll be soon.

Your ear is drawn to the sound of giggling coming from further up the corridor.

"Ah! You brought the vermin to me to save me the trouble of having to hunt for her!" Stonehand says. "How considerate is he?"
"I don't think he meant to bring her to us, but in the end she is here" The Butcher replies.

You set Abigail down on the ground.

"So, did you bring her to me?" Stonehand asks.

You push her behind you.

"Aww... you're silly" Stonehand says. "Those other two thought they could guard each other too"
"You did kill them" Abigail says. "You BITCH"

Abigail holds out her hand and fires a blast of air at Stonehand, that slams into her but doesn't even make her flinch.

"Is that all you've got?" Stonehand asks. "Is it my turn?"

Abigail takes a step back.

"I'll take that as a yes" Stonehand says, and she advances; dragging her stone hand through the ground...

Reminder that this dice system is shit.
>>
>>42728234
Wait, we still get that +2 because this does concern Safi!
>>
>>42728186
Fucking slow down Creator with our entrails or something, get Safi to speed up Abby and have them fucking run.
>>
>>42728255
All dice system are shit.

>writing
>>
>>42728255
Actually this dice system is not that bad. Just making average is considered a bonus for us and we don't tend to roll very huge failures, only minor ones.
>>
>>42728327
no this system makes it so unless we get higher the 15 on all rolls then its always a failure
>>
I kind of like the dice system. I don't like the fact that one person with shitty luck can fuck us over. Maybe 4d20 drop the lowest? I don't know.
>>
>>42728371
We got a 28 sparring with Jess and we did fine.

>>42728372
I like your idea though.
>>
>>42728371
Excuse me? 20-29 is a neutral result, so I've been led to believe. 45 would be remarkable. Not that we've rolled that high, so I have no sense of the degree of that success.
>>
>>42728372
The system is already designed to handle that, like the other person said, 20-29 which is below average is counted as a neutral roll, we rolled a 21.
>>
>>42728371
What are you even talking about?
>>
>>42728371
If 1 person rolls a 1, as long as the other two people at least make the average of 10 we still do fine. Its only when multiple people make bad rolls that we face trouble, and Smiley was actually considering at one point to lower it so 20-29 was a failure.

Stonehand whips the golem at Abigail, but it meets your strengthened fist along the way.

"Don't tell me you intend to protect that vermin" Stonehand says.
"Okay, I won't" You say, taking up your stance.

"Fine then" Stonehand says.

She breaks into a sprint and pulls her stone hand back. You strengthen an arm to guard, and deflect the punch. It still hurts, even when you've pumped your arm full of mana.

While she's regaining control of her momentum, you strike her the side of her rib cage under her stone arm. It's hard as fucking rock, but your arm is still strengthened. Stonehand seems to feel it this time, and she takes a step away from you.

"My, my. You've made some gains..." She says.

You keep your stance, staying ready for her as you keep another eye on the Butcher.

Stonehand rushes you again, and you enter slow-time for the initial guard this time. Back to real-time, you strengthen to counter.

You go back and forth with Stonehand like this for several exchanges, until the Butcher sees an opening to strike.

And she's blown away by Safi.

"Forgetting someone?" Safi asks. You can feel her powering up again.

>[1/2]
>>
You keep Stonehand locked down, while Safi and Abigail keep the Butcher off your back.

The Butcher is slippery, and neither can seem to get a bead on her. Meanwhile, Stonehand's defense has become rock solid. Maybe she's being more careful now that you've managed to actually hurt her...

You keep her engaged at as close a distance as you can manage. No matter how good of a fighter she might be, her stone arm becomes a liability when the fight becomes less about strength and more about maneuvering.

So you quickly gain the upper hand, and start working towards creating a second opening...

Eventually, you knock her stone hand to the floor, and slam your fist into her face. You can feel her nose crack and buckle against your knuckles, and she stumbles back.

"Brilliant!" Stonehand declares, as blood quickly starts dripping off of her chin underneath her mask, and onto the floor and her chest. "Do you have any idea how long it's been since I've bled like this?"

"Uhhh..." You say.
"It was Sunday, when I first met you!" She says. "Which is why no one else can have you! I'm going to beat you into the ground and make you mine!"

Stonehand talks with a shaky voice, and hunches over. Seeing your chance to possibly finish her, you move in.

But she snatches you up, wrapping you in a painfully tight embrace so she can kiss you. She jams her tongue into your mouth, and you can taste both her blood and her saliva. After a moment, she breaks the kiss and breathes a long, shaky moan into your ear...

And then you're back in the warehouse.

Kyla and Jessica are both asleep at the table, an empty bottle of whiskey and two glasses sitting between them.

>Wat do?

Call Yui...;_;

If that doesn't connect then call Boss and ask he knows where Yui is.
I don't care if they think we are crazy, we have to make sure!
>>
>>42728866
Seconding.
>>
>>42728799
FRANTICALLY CALL YUI! WAKE UP KYLA! WAKE UP JESSICA! SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING!
>>
>>42728799
Call Yui, yell at boss, yell at everyone, cry a lot, feel molested over that kiss at the end
>>
Starting to think Claire might be someone else, Stonehand doesn't have a French accent, and If I remember right from the very first thread she's Taller.
>>
>>42728799
>Check the time. We need to know how long that arena lasts.
>Yui. Call Yui. Call boss if you can't reach her. We need to know.
>>
>>42728938
Possibly. Though maybe the God Creator could shape her into a weapon? Random thought.
>>
>>42728938
Masks fuck up your perception of height and voice.

The masks are visual only. Yours is usually the Shield, but it returned to your pathways when Safi took it off of you
>>
Your hands start shaking again. You pull out your phone and try to navigate to Yui's number.

You drop the phone, and pick it back up. The screen is cracked, but it still works. You have some trouble finding Yui's number with your fingers shaking, but you get it.

It rings.

"Please pick up please pick up please pick up please pick up" You say. "Guys! I need you awake!"

Jessica and Kyla stir at your shouting. "Saif, what's wrong?" Kyla asks.

A voice comes over your phone. "Moshi moshi! Yui desu~"

"Yui! Thank god, I-"
"I didn't recognize this number, so i didn't answer. Have a nice day~" *beeeeep*

No... no! Nonononononononononononono

You hit redial, and it rings again.

"Saif, you look pale as hell! What's going on?" Jessica asks.
You hold up a hand to tell her to give you a second.

"Pleeease pick up" you say. "Please..."

"Moshi moshi! Yui desu~ I didn't recognize this number, so I didn't answer. Have a nice day~" *beeeep*

"Son of a BITCH" You shout, stopping just short of whipping your phone at the ground.
"Saif..." Kyla says. "She's gone"

Your eyes tear up, and Kyla hugs you.

"Someone wanna catch me up? Who's gone?" Jessica asks.

Is that the Doctor holding the Doctor?
>>
>>42729537
I think that's the episode where he becomes John Smith to hide from that family. So that'd be the lady he fell in love with.

Smiley, don't cave into the people that say your quests are two dark or depressing. It actually makes your quests stand out from the rest of the sugary fluff quests you find on the board. It is quite refreshing and interesting, regardless of how many times it punches me in the stomach.
>>
>>42729570
I don't think anyone here is saying that.
>>
>>42729559
Oh. I was really hoping that was Matt Smith hugging David Tennant.
>>
>>42729570
I feel the same way, there should be more quests like this.
>>
>>42729589
They were complaining about it on the DW quest.
>>
>>42729570
I'm perfectly fine with how dark this quest is, he advertised it as such. That doesn't mean I'm not going to milk every bit of drama out of it or not call the QM a monster when he is one.
>>
>>42729625
Oh. I don't read that one. I knew going into this quest that stuff like this could happen.

"Yui is... Yui is dead" You say.
"Yui was..." Jessica says. "She was a part of this?"

You take a deep breath, and push Kyla away to give you some space. Then you call Boss.

He answers almost immediately.

"You have 5 seconds to give me a DAMN GOOD reason why Yui was involved in this lunar bullshit!" You shout.
"Was her choice, not mine" Boss says. "When Guardian came to her, she was-"

"The Guardian?" You ask. "Hang on."

You hang up the phone, and turn to Kyla.

"Alright. Now you have 5 seconds to give me a DAMN GOOD reason as to why you involved Yui in this Lunar bullshit!" You say.
"She was qualified. Her fire magic was second to none, and she was a part of my church" Kyla says. "And I only offered, it was her choice to accept"

"Yeah, because so many people are just linin' up to refuse an offer to serve their god!" You yell. "This is such BULLSHIT"

"Saif, it'll be okay" Jessica says.
"I'm sure it will" You say, laughing as you catch your breath. "That isn't my problem"
"So what is?" Jessica asks.

"My problem is that now... Yui won't be with me to see it..."

You fall to your knees.
>>
And that's all for tonight!

Next BM thread will be Monday. I might not have time to run DW this weekend, but if I see a chance I'll take it.

As always I'll be sticking around for questions and suggestions
>>
>>42729708
why do you enjoy my tears
>>
>>42729708
It was a good one boss, see you next time.

Fuck me three ways from sunday and call me a whore, the feels
>>
>>42729708
I am just wondering about how you do the deaths in this. If we had gone for Yui does that mean that Abigail would have been the one to die?
>>
Thanks for running, Smiley. Might need a few days to digest this anyways.

Things are always going on in the background. had you gone for the Traitor, a different set of events would have happened.

But you didn't.
>>
>>42729682
NO GODS NO KINGS ONLY SADNESS

THE BIGGEST QUESTION IS WHO WAS PHONE
>>
>>42729754
Abby would have linked up with her partners and held off stone hand.
>>
>>42729895
She was far away considering where we were in relation to where Stonehand was coming from.
>>
>>42729895
And let me guess, the puppeteer went would kill the spy so that we don't have to worry about him/her.
>>
>>42729933
>Every choice you mad is wrong
>Jessica, Claire, Safi, and Abby will all be dead at the end of this.

You'll also get Dwight killed.
>>
Huh. So Creator made Kyla to be a barbie girl. Perfect fun to play with.

His current Champion is a powerhouse murder hobo girl who's goal is to skull fuck Saif.

He.. do a 180 there?
>>
>>42729971
The Creator made Kyla and chose his champion for different purposes.

Kyla existed to be magnificent, so he could beat the Smith. His champ exists to smash faces and not give a fuck.
>>
>>42730026
>Kyla existed to be magnificent
While on that subject, how beautiful is Kyla exactly if measured in Helen?
>>
>>42730107
In a word: incredibly.

In several words: Think of the most beautiful woman you have ever seen. Then double it.
>>
>>42730149
One more question if you are still there. Did you always intend for Jessica to teach us magic or could there have been other teachers depending on our choices?
>>
>>42730869
Jess was just the closest and most obvious, and I'll admit to pushing that option a bit. But just about all of the mages, with the exclusion of the ones who already had apprentices, could have been your teacher

There was actually an untravelled, and very different path where you abandon Kyla and the Traitor teaches you magic and other stuff. It would have required you to make some very specific choices that I only would have given you if your attitude towards Kyla/the Blood Moon was different
>>
>>42731156
So...uhhh. How are we nailing things now?
Did we get most of the champions guessed correctly?

Should we confront Claire?
