"Magnificence! Our arrival occur in the fifth of days. Mightiest luck to self of yours. A depart gift; goodwill of Neosm. Gujim, press for fleeting warming." Comn have dropped three small orbs next to your feet. Much like their suits, they were in constant stand of expanding and contracting.

>You have Gujim orbs (3)

Just like that, The two Neosm and their construct have left the spire. You heard a whirring sound moments later followed by a giant splash.

[Tremendous Success!]

And so you waited for hours to no end. The temptation to squeeze one of those orbs was maddening to say the least. Yes, it was very cold down here but wasting precious resources like that is disheartening.

As you were falling asleep, Something slimy. has caressed your cheeks. Frightened. you bolted out of you new chair only to bump into Juno's uneven forehead.

"Kh'althar!" You called her an imbecile before slapping her murky face; your heart almost exploded from this nasty surprise. The darkling backed away in fear, hiding her disfigured face from your eyes with one hand, the other held a rather bloated waterskin "M-master...Clearjuice gullet. V-very deep."

>You current water supplies is enough for 5 days

You spent the last hour of the night watching your slave bringing back all the furniture to the upper level. Juno didn't dare to look at you directly this whole time. Why is she shriveling like that?

"All done, M-master. Work more?" asked the darkling, obviously exhausted from the trek. Her fungus-infested eye sockets were slightly swollen up.

>Say something to Juno [Specify]
>Command her to go down for more, you will have to empty the waterskin in the drawer
>Command her to do some manual labor all night long [specify]
>Tell her to go to sleep. It has been a rough day already
>Write in.

>>3705399
Juno's too adorable in a kind of weird cute abomination way to see upset.
>Say something to Juno [Specify]
"When I hit you, you no do bad, not in trouble. You do very good. I was startled, thought you were enemy. You not enemy, you friend. Am sorry. Just do not scare me again, yes? You tired, go sleep now."

>>3705482
>>3705399
backing

>>3705399
>>3705511

"Master notangry in poor Juno?"

"No, Juno good. Juno sleep." Apologizing in general is considered to be one of the most shameful acts an elf can commit and yet you felt terribly bad for slapping your slave like so. Time to sleep.

Tornus, 3rd of Uolk (Summer) (-12 Ar)

Juno has woken you up with her crooked finger instead of her unusually long tongue. Like an eager child, she has led you outside for 'big gapy'.

Well, She wasn't making it up ; just a up ahead lies a bare patch of the sea without the thick icesheet obscuring it. The working of your unusual guests? Most likely, you did hear a splash yesterday. That could explain it. The exposed sea water wasn't as deep as you thought, there were some shallow areas closer to the isle itself. Understandable of course but what really tickled your fantasy was a sunken vessel right between shallow and deep water...at least you think it is a vessel, you see a shimmering silhouette down below. It could be a slumbering creature or a giant boulder but you have your doubts. Worth investigating....

Something else to note was the lack of any signs of marine life, at least not shallow waters, The sapphire water hides a myriad of lives under still waves. It will take a while before the frostblight would cover this beautiful patch...you hope.

4/?

Juno was extremely excited with her new toy. Her wild swings would put orc to shame.

So guys idea we clear the way upstairs(with juno's help) and use the rubble to mostly block the front door and leave a opening to come in and out of, there's probably a lot of stuff up there and it seems easier than breaking down that chained door for now also we can use the rug as a cover if we can figure out how to keep it in place. i have a feeling we'll find something for those little buggers up there and thinking on it we should have our weapons nearby too

>>3705709
That's a big gamble, considering it'll take us at least a couple of days to clear the rubble and if there's nothing there then we might be boned.

I've got a variant on that idea:
>>3705700

>1ry: [Construction] Break down your furniture, create a crude ladder out of it.
Sorry furniture. But we can use this ladder to replace the rope up to the trapdoor and then.....
>2ry: [Tinkering?] Fashion a grappling hook out of the rope and some scrap

>3ry: Use this grappling hook to bypass the rubble by going via the outside of the spire and a window. If that's not possible, use it to explore downstairs some more.
>Juno: Clear rubble some more with Crowbar II.

>>3705746
>>3705700
I'll back this grapple hooks are always fun

Rolled 38 (1d40)

>>3705756
>>3705746
This will consume two chairs and a drawer and 1 small iron scrap for pesudo nails.
give me sp d20, avrage of this three rolls

[Slight success]

Welp, It had to be done. Juno used the handy axe to chop up the furniture with your guidance of course; little bits of woods won't do you any good. You spend a couple of hours in making a serviceable ladder, took you so long due to your general lack of tools. Hammering the wooden parts together with nothing but the side of the axe (Juno did it but still) was a hassle by itself. it did make a lot of creaking sound during your initial tests. Thankfully, it didn't fall apart, nonetheless, you should be careeful using this makeshift ladder

>You have a crude ladder
>Your construction skill is increasing...

You took a break outside, your eyes are all over the spire. The exterior is cold, blunt and black without a single window. What exactly was the purpose of this spire? You know nothing except that insignia in the main entrance. A snake and a sword...hmmm...

You sent Juno with the crowbar to deal with the infamous rubble while you were trying to tinker a useful tool...A grappling hook. The trick is to find pieces of scrap with a nice curve to it. Swinging away is supposed to be somewhat natural to you....Lots of trees and vines in your home. Too bad, you chose to study books and hoard trinkets instead. You will get the hang of it, eventually.

this will consume both the rope and 3 small iron scraps.

give me sp d20, average of first three rolls

[Critical Failure!]

After successfully making the grappling hook, you decided to try it down below. You stellar aim has gone for one of the giant floating fireflies which was panicking and screeching from pain while bleeding a gold liquid from its thorax.

Its erratic movement was pulling you downwards to your certain death. You would have let the damn thing go if it weren't for this unexpected knot around your wrist, how could you forget about such a thing?!

"JUNO! JUNO!!!" You had nothing to cling to as the firefly was going deeper and deeper into the unexplored abyss. Your slave quickly assessed the situation holding you tightly in your place.

"ARRGGHHH!" Juno did the right thing and cut off the rope with her sharp teeth. Your doomed tool has disappeared soon after.

"MASTER! MASTER! DONT LEAVE, NOT!" Her tears were all over your face. Once again, she saved our life. About your hand...

1= It was slightly discolored but nothing too serious. The pain will go away in after a day's sleep
2= It had different shades of blue and red, bruises and a lot of pain. You shouldn't work on anything with it for at least two days.
3= It was pale as death. The noose around your wrist has dislocated your wrist joints. The pain is immeasurable! Make it stop!

>>3705964
>>3705995
>>3706004

You shouldn't work on anything (at least with your bad hand) for the rest of the day. Otherwise, your efficiency will be subpar (varies according to the task).

>Rest for the remainder of the day
>Choose another 3ry action [Specify]

>>3706101
also
>Your tinkering skill is increasing....

It seems the dice gods have a hate boner for anything regarding tools.

What is the criterion for a success/fail? If it's what I think it is, everything being a 50/50 chance with a 14% chance of crit fail will be a very frustrating world.

both 1 or 20 (and its equivalents) overrides any other roll with critical success/failure if anyone isn't aware of this.
more than 50%=success
less than 50%=failure

>>3706136
no idea where this 14% came from.
Using the previous prompt as an example, the chance of getting a crit fail is 1/60 (1/20x3). Same goes with critical success.

>>3706171
He's right on the math in that there's a 14% chance of a crit fail (or a crit success) occuring on any given set of 3d20. The math on it, if you're curious, is that the chance of not rolling a 1 or 20 is 19/20, and the chance of rolling a crit is then 1 minus that (1 - .95^3 = .1426, or 14%~). I've played enough DnD to have crunched these numbers a bunch, and they can be a bit unintuitive if you haven't.

Anyway, with our minor hand injury, I say we continue reading that book from before, the Intricacies of Khzifltas. We might read something that'd help us know what to look for, and at worst we'd take a breather and get some lore.

>>3706303
huh, guess i was in the wrong. Should i keep it as it is (giving also a better chance for a critical success) or should i change it so that if the FIRST roll is deciding factor, not any of the three?

>>3706337
If you want to change things, that's up to you. I'm fine with the current system, but then again I like it when things are a bit swingy. From my experience the dice can get wild and lead to some memorable moments (Dark Lord Civ is a good example of this, although I think that quest's rng is broken).

>>3706303
we are stopping for now but if other anons would also go with this option then give me a d100, best out of three.
>>3706365
yeah, i guess i will go with the first roll from now on in case of crits. If the two extremities are too common then they'll lose their value. We are not aiming for an abundance of wacky and convoluted situations which will justify crits in general.

Rolled 90 (1d100)

>>3706426

Rolled 47 (1d100)

>>3706426
It's up to you. If it doesn't work out you always tweak it in the future.

Rolled 42 (1d100)

>>3706426

>>3706426
I'll vote for that, though the dice have already been cast.

I've got another idea though - crits should only be on the first die as you said, but what about the dice value being decided by the average of the best two rolls rather than all three? As-is, having everything with a 50% chance to fail means stuff constantly won't get done and risks aren't worth taking, but that would ease the frustration somewhat and let us get shit done, but wouldn't make it easymode like best-out-of-three.

>>3707406
Also, modifiers to raise/lower the success threshold according to our skills and the difficulty of what we are doing would be much more attractive than the flat 50. For example, our skills have apparently have been increasing, and this could manifest as a decrease in the success threshold for the relevant task.

>>3706445
>>3706491
>>3707375

You decided to take it easy for the rest of the day by continuing reading the intricacies of Khzifltas. The author has given you a great insight on how precise giant dwarven mechanism can be. In all of your years studying the Machinus, you have never heard of The Mtzdr Manuscript.

It was in its purest essence a special set of commands carved out on Liviusr, a magical 'living metal'. Now, this is of itself wasn't much of a reveal; dwarves always used steam cores for power and Liviusr for the brains so to speak. However, The Mtzdr Manuscript was carved out with Vivekv or the 'root of rock belly' according to the author who was also puzzled of such nomenclature . It did enable much higher functions for the automatons giving them much needed autonomy but not to the extent of a free will.

Vivekv was the true secret of the dwarves, some archives mentions kingdoms fighting over unclaimed veins. Some societies has abandoned gold all together for a currency, going for Vivekv instead. Only them knew how to extract it and process it. Such Knowledge is lost to time...

The author had different illustrations of Liviusr, it resembled a small multi-shifting cube with thousands of commands written on it. Another illustration showed a raw living metal cube surrounded by countless brass arms dripping with Vivekv. Next up was the ruined city itself. Hauntingly beautiful it was.

> You have continued reading Book: Intricacies of Khzifltas [Focus:???, Page 89 out of 200]

[Tremendous Success]

Juno has been relentlessly working on the rubble while you were at the comfort of your bed. The second crowbar lasted a bit longer at least...

>The crude crowbar is now broken
>Progress on Making a temporary door currently 0/150
>You have rubble (40)
>Progress on Clearing the way 33/100

What is this? The darkling has something for you tucked between her sharp teeth.

>You have a leather diary.

"Good Juno, Good." You took it from her maw, luckily, her spit didnt soil the cover or its contents.

"What are you doing?"

"Bed dead bad, need new for notcold." She was pulling out the carcass in her fungus mound "Poor Juno bad?"

"No, no...I...Continue."

"Need new dead...Master! Where Juno put bad dead?!" Gods have mercy, the stench!

>Chuck it over down below.

Orc's corpse is consumed by Blue Rust. Nothing really to loot from it.

>>3708840
The Orc's corpse is Rusted. Methinks it wouldn't be very good for her health, even as a darkling.

Masdus, 4th of Uolk (Summer) (-9 Ar)

You started your day by having a delicious frozen chunk of fish with Juno. In all honestly, it wasn't that bad. You would have started a fire if you had something for your flint to light up.

The darkling seemed a lot less active. Her skin was slightly paler than usual when you handled her the food, her hands were notably cold. All of this seemed to change when an arrow whizzed right above your head harmlessly bouncing off the wall.

Juno had let you an instinctive howl, she went on all four slamming the axe repeatedly on the ground after shoving you behind her. You also went for your bow (and your carving tool).

"NO HURT! NO HURT! HORAAGH!!" Wailed Juno against the white wind which was obscuring the assailant.

"Quite the company you got there..."

"Stand down, Juno. 'Friend' ahead." You knew that venomous tone all too well. Juno was still hyperventilating, ready to chop up limbs but she reluctantly heeded your words.

Venalath was her name, She outbest you in pretty much everything during your younger years. Long flaxen hair, golden with the rarest flowers in your home unlike your sickly grey one. Of course, she had to show off her arcanus prowess by erecting a dome around her.

"Mingling with the scum of Mother Guiana? I expected more of you..." She spoke in elvish further agitating the darkling.

>Leave, you are not welcomed here.
>What do you want?
>She is my slave, i wonder where is yours? Oh, you don't have any.
>Write in

>>3708984
>She is my slave, I wonder where is yours? Oh, you don't have any.
>What do you want, anyway?

>>3708984
>>What do you want?
>>She is my slave, i wonder where is yours? Oh, you don't have any.

>>3708984
"Ah, Vena, such a displeasure to see you again. As much as I know you love doing it, I also know you wouldn't come all the way out here into the Great Silent just to gloat. You're clearly here for something, so I'll get to the point, because the quicker you leave, the better. Whaddya want?"

>>3709026
>>3708993
>>3708999

"Yes, What a feat you have accomplished. Having a walking dung about must be thrilling, I'd wager."

"Why are you here?" You asked, brushing off her insults.

"Your mother wanted me , the best tracker there is, to check on you. I am in shock, to see you alive and well is something to behold. How is your ''''cure'''' by the by? Was it worth your exile?"

"MASTER RESPECT, YOU RESPECT!" Juno stood up, barely holding herself.

"Please tell your mongrel to stay silent. It offends my delicate ears." She whipped her hair in pure arrogance. "I almost pity you. Almost. No matter, I will tell your mother that i have found your corpse, ravaged by wolves and filthy humans. Hardly a lie, that. You will die out here sooner or later..."

"Y-you can't just say that! You heartless bastard! I...i..."

"...will remain helpless to stop me. There is nothing you and your puss-riddled inbred hound can do about it. I will save her some heartache this way." She laughed it off as she was leaving. Your eyes were swollen with tears, her sharp words has stabbed you like always. Always reveling in watching you squirm like an insignificant worm. You,You...

>watched her perfect figure disappear in the horizon. Your heart is burning with hatred.
Someday, bitch. And it will be sweet.

>>3709097
Killing that elven bitch would kill of one of our bitter enemies, get Juno a corpse to sleep in, get us whatever she has on her, and save our mother the heartache of thinking we're dead. It would also remove the morality that separates us from beasts. We can't let go of that just yet

Supporting this

>>3709143
In this way, the mere act of staying alive is a middle finger to her. And we can look forward to seeing her face as we stroll in with a steam-spewing giant death robot and pound her perfect bitchass into the dirt.

>>3709174
Revenge fantasies are fun and all, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. She probably won't care that we're not actually dead and I'm not sure a death robot is exactly feasible. Still, once we're established we might be able to find a way to send a message back home. Even something as simple as "Gaeleath Yesthyra sends her regards and a kind thank you to Vera for informing her mother of her continued survival" would humiliate her.

>>3709097
>>3709143

You are the better woman, you won't allow your hatred to influence your actions.... actions that you may regret later.

You retreated to your bed, plagued by a surge of horrible memories, you started to cry. She was right, you ARE helpless but it was your CHOICE. This stark difference mattered to you the most. You didn't feel productive at all today, opting for the relative comfort of your bed instead.

Juno, in attempt to appease you, decided to work harder than usual this day.

>You won't have any actions for this day.

We can always dream. But yeah, she'll probably be far from the last person able to bring word home.

>>3709218
>Order Juno to try and forage/hunt something
See if she can find materials on the mainland to make a new rope with. Strict orders to stay away from anyone she sees, and to run if a fight isn't avoidable.

>>3709232
I would say she should take the axe with her and defend herself if she encounters a hostile. She does need a corpse and if somebody attacks her, then her decapitating somebody in self defense wouldn't exactly be the most immoral thing we've seen today.

>>3709251
Makes sense. Bring the axe and if a fight can't be avoided then chop their head off and make them into a bed. That feels weird to type.

You gave your slave strict instruction on what do now. Since you won't be around, you had to repeat certain parts for her slow mind. Going back and forth alone will take several hours, should you give her one of those Neosm's doodads ?

[Average success]

Plants and trees in general are a rarity in a climate twisted by the frostblight. Those who endured the crisis have developed their unnatural ways of surviving. This is why your kin is overly protective of the Everblossom; one of the few pre-frostblight flora. You know nothing about the frozen trees in the wilderness in your brief exposure to it but you gave the darkling a brief description on what to bring back home.

It was...relaxing not to be overly stressed out for once. You had a lot of time to reflect on your life. 137 years are seemingly a lot of time for other fleeting race; a 'lifetime'. Pah! Elves can live up to a thousand year. The way your kind perceive time is vastly different.

You waited and waited in your bed until darkness has swallowed the great silent. You were begging to worry about little Juno. This worriment was dissipated in the air when the little darkling has arrived crawling on all fours with quite a haul.

"Master! Master! Poor Juno timenot? Flashy good, not?"

The darkling was intelligent enough to tie some strange branches around her waist using some sort of a strange leaf. Both came from the same tree , they had a faint glowing red strings all over them which were slightly warm.

>You have found red string branches (10)
>You have found red string leaves (20)

" Ju-...what is this?"

"New dead! Poor Juno good" The darkling had also a voluptuous human woman with crystal blue eyes, pale skin and black short hair caked with frozen blood. She wore a mishmash of hard leather, It had a gaping hole in the abdomen with frozen torn entrails jutting out.

You looked again at Juno, Her belly seemed to juggle with every excited swing of hers as she waiting for another compliment for her hard work. Doubly so for not using the doodad. One final thing to note were her eye fungus which appeared to be livelier than before all flared up.

Give the corpse another once over.

>>3713726
>Order Juno to do something about the corpse other than burying it in her fungus mound
Remove the remaining rib bones, I can think of plenty of uses for them (such as for another rope hook.....). Then put it in the mound.

>>3713740
>>3713745
>>3713745
i do wanna like loot the corpse just figured we should ask how she came by it first

>>3713747
Of course. I don't think that wound is Juno's handiwork, though I might prefer it if it was.....

>>3713726
*to jiggle

>>3713726
Have Juno strip the clothes off and remove the rib bones. We should examine them to see what can be salvaged and how they can be used. Also, we can exsanguinate the corpse for the blood we need for the machine later on. Perhaps we can use what's left of her cloths (pants, boots, etc) to store it. Might as well start collecting now
>"Juno not use heat ball good. Juno go restrest for big day next day."
Tomorrow we should make that improvised grappling hook and haul ass searching the lower spire. This time let's try really hard to not roll a 1.

"Huh? Oooh..." Your slave scratched her head in response to your question stirring it up a bit inside her simpleton head for a while before spewing a reply "Juno chopchop axe flashy tree. Hmmy man speak to poor Juno, Poor Juno turn, Hmmy man say AAAAA."

Juno pointed out at a handful of her scales on her arm, battered and about to fall off "Hmmy man strike hard , Poor Juno strike hardererer!!"

"Juno, Corpse is notman..." A sense of dread began to creep on you as the darkling continued"Ya! Ya! Hmmy man miss hand bit, very quick to big four runner with notman on it. Poor Juno no chase BUT BUT, Hmmy notman fall off runner and Hmmy man no stop for notman."

"..." You remained speechless while Juno spoke more of what happened "Notman hurt from fall, leg broken, very dead in short or long time. Poor Juno hungry and...and..." She looked at you, fear swelling in her face "Poor Juno ated flesh seed in notman's tumtum? Notman scream then dead...Poor J-juno bad?"

>Write in.

>>3714419
What I gather from this is that a man and a woman arrived, the man attacked Juno on realising she was a darkling, he legged it on a horse and the woman fell off, was injured and KOd and Juno took a bite out of her while probably still alive. While this is definitely quite disturbing, a regular darkling would have probably killed and eaten them both.

"Juno not bad, but.....[sigh] make sure they dead before eat next time"

>>3714550
"Master, Yes!" She was nonchalant about her heinous act. It was all instinct to her.

"Ribs out for Master?" The idea was horrible to you; desecrating a corpse like that but you didn't really have a choice. Is this too far? You try not to think too much about this.

The darkling stripped the body clean, you were slightly taken aback by her breast size; elves mostly adhere to similar body type not because of inbreeding mind you but rather due to the fact that your kind has reached perfection in that regard...humans on the other hand tend to have way more variables than you would like. The idea was both fascinating and revolting at the same time.

Juno happily mired her hands in the woman's insides for you ripping out the ribs with relative ease. Your slave has set everything on the side for you. There wasn't much on her sadly.

>You have human ribs (24)
>You have a torn bloodstained coat
>You have a small knife
>You have a blood-soaked journal.

It took you a while to sleep, your last thoughts were about how deprived you will have to be in order to survive and to eventually find the cure for the frostblight.

Yardus, 5th of Uolk (Summmer) (-10 Ar)

You woke at the groaning sounds of Juno hunced over her bone banner.

"Oooh Master..." She hiccuped "Flesh seed not good.." Not a second later, She regurgitated a set of broken bones followed by a small, jawless skull.

>Juno is feeling sick today, her efficiency will be 25% for the rest of the day.

Let's hope it goes better this time. There's not much Juno can do usefully today, so I'd rather have her on standby to bail us out again in case exploration goes badly and help us bring back anything we find if she's up for it.

(waiting for other people)

>>3714765
Primary focus on the grappling hook as stated above. Secondary on exploring the lower level to find stuff. Tertiary focus, because we have to select one, would be continuing the book (although I'd rather go all in on exploring.)

[Critical Failure!]

As you were coiling the absurdly long leaves, they started to glow more and more. You didn't know what caused it but it suddenly self-combust in a shower of flaming hot crimson sparks. Said sparks latched on your clothes before...

>Your tinkering skill has increased

1= you quickly rolled on the cold floor, suffering from from virtually nothing aside from your charred clothes, still wearable to some extent
2= It caught up with the rest of the leaves and branches nearby, creating a pillar of crackling flames, you stand bare with naught to wear as Juno is doing her best to deal with the fire
3=It has swallowed the leaves, the branches, your clothing AND your bed. A tempest of fire is in full force. Juno has managed to save you and the precious ladder before it was too late. The fungus mound is surprisingly unscathed

>>3714900
Juno offers her non existent clothes to you while blushing at your current state. You refused for various reasons, going for a dead woman's clothes instead. The sizable hole made it impossible for you to step outside without dying in few short minutes.

>Your tinkering skill is increasing.

You honestly just wanted to laugh at your misfortune, the gods above and below are toying with out at this point. You are far away from giving up. Your resolve is unwavered.

You looked at Juno, still suffering from a stomachache. You were still terrified of what you had seen this morning. An unborn child chewed straight out of his mother's womb. This malicious thought escalated in your mind prompting you too to empty your stomach's content. Can this day get any worse?

>Choose another 3ry action.

>>3715094
*any macguffin, something can be of worth to the Neosm

>>3715094
I think those small dudes don't really care much if we fail since we're pretty weak. On the bright side, we still have 2 days, so hopefully the gambler's fallacy will prove true and we'll get some good rolls for once in this thread. We only need one set of exploration rolls to succeed on that in theory

>>3715095
lets build another couple crowbars

i think we should just focus on clearing our way up top

how did you not figure that out when she said

well, you got enough ribs for a very short ladder, one that is for small gaps. Better than nothing, right?

this will consume 22 human ribs and 1 small iron scraps under the construction skill.

By ladder, I meant attaching them to the wall in crevices and cracks as handholds rather than a literal ladder.

i get what your saying but a small ladder to put over holes seems like itd be best since we're kinda stuck in the lower levels, unless you think we should risk going upstairs again?

>>3715156
>>3715163
i got you, same rolls but without the scrap parts and it will be best of three instead of average

>>3715186

Rolled 4 (1d20)

Install our not-ladder for level 2. We need something permanent rather than chancing it every time.

I'll give it a bit before I do roll #3

>average of (13+2+4)/3 = 6..3
Yeah, we're dead. With these rolls we couldn't even make a snowball

>>3715270
I'm pretty confused about what we're doing but I think we were making the bones-in-wall "ladder" with its best-of-three?

>>3715282
As I understood it, using bones in crevices and cracks as pitons to get us down temporarily is a bo3. Using them as well as scraps to form a more permanent ladder is an average of 3. Based off of "we need something permanent" I assume we're going for the more permanent solution of a more secured in ladder which requires an average of 3 rolls to beat an unspecified DC.

[Slight Success]

For the time being, your improvised ladder can hold your weight. You should be careful with each step; no clue when it might snap for your unfortunate doom.

The second level was a treasure trove, you called Juno down to help you to reorganize your findings. It took you the whole day to reorganize the whole place. this level was a lot more stable compared to the previous underground level with only two gaping holes instead of troublesome platforms. The only notable problem were the fireflies who were uncomfortable with to bipedal aliens so close to them. They kept flashing painful lights, it was too dizzying to concentrate properly. You are fairly certain that this used to be a storage area. Lucky you! Lucky you!

>You have found culinary ware (5 pots, 5 spoons, 3 forks, 4 plates, 1 large cauldron)

What is this? An iron safe with a silent rune on it. You may not know the way of the arcanus but you have seen a lot of it by others like dear Venalath. You stopped Juno from touching it. It wasn't elvish, no, something more vile and wicked...Touching it can be quite dangerous

You threw a small rock at the safe prompting it to unleash a grey miasma within a small radius around the safe. Everything was turned into stone, even the ice. A prettifying rune? The damn rune is still there? curses. That could explain the handful of stone feet found in the snow. You were not the only one who tried to open it up.

You will need someone with Arcanus knowledge to disarm it. Runes are often made to last for a long time. They are not infinite though...if you got the time and the effort to safely trigger it, you may find yourself depleting its original charge.

You are tired, Juno is tired. Both of you are yearning for some sleep.

You two enjoy a cold dinner (with actual plates and forks). It felt good not to be an animal for once though Juno quickly abandoned such notion. She did try to catch a firefly only to get dazzled by a bright light enough to make her blind for a couple of minutes. It was off to bed/fungus mound afterwards

Vendus, 6th of Uolk (Summmer) (-15 Ar)

The frozen winds were licking your exposed feet forcing you to wake up, It is so cold...even with the trapdoor closed, it manages to seep through.

"Master Gogo!" Juno hugged your legs, her tantalizing warm was quite something. "Best Master! Very Best!"

"Thank you?" You were a very lenient master so far, maybe you deserve some praise. Not bad. Juno climbed up to the trapdoor only to fall on her behind retreating back to your legs once more, shriveling.

"What's wrong, Juno?'

"G-giant. B-big horns! Poor Juno scared. Bad Giant! Bad BAD BAD BAD!!!" She was absolutely going hysterical as her clutch tightened to the point of discomfort.

You held her rancid breath with your hand to listen to this Faroi. You heard a cheerful whistle followed a brief grunting sound then a playful humming of an old Giant, a man by how gravel it was.

"Poor Juno scare, Master H-help?"

>Write in

>>3715849
"Why Giant Bad juno?"

"use when we say to okay juno?"

Grab our bow, get Juno to grab the axe, and have a hopefully friendly chat with the giant.

>>3715898
>>3716002

"No! No! BAD NO GO! NO GO!' She was soaking your naked belly with tears and snot.

"Easy,easy...Juno stay close to Master. Juno Fine" In truth, you wanted to use her warm body as a temporary insulation against the weather.

"Who's there?" It worked too well in fact with her dropping the axe to coil around your proper. Well, it didn't matter. Outside, The Crossbreed sat on the floor, peacefully fishing with his rod.

It was a size to behold, A least four holds your size, long bread so flaxen, you would mistake it for a maiden's hair. Same with his grey hair. His horns were black, thick and burly much like his body. His face had hints of youth spent nothing but waves of silent wrinkles while His nose was the size of your head, all rosy from the bitter cold. His free hand was drumming over a gigantic axe capable of bringing down a small hut. He had a huge backpack made out of patched leather of various creatures.

"Hmmmm...." He didn't pay you much attention, just a peripheral glance here and there as the methodically changed his bait (some animal's limb) "No luck...A livelier bait is in order perhaps?"

"PLEASENONONONO" Juno's screams were muffled by your steaming navel, The giant pulled out a worm longer than your arm.

"Hmmmm..Ahaa." He caught one of those invisible fish, much, much larger than the one you stole "No...It is the Bait. I wonder..."

"You are scaring my fish..." He replied, nonchalantly. His human tongue is pretty decent actually, you know nothing about the giants and how they speak. You heard it is mostly grunts , groans and sighs.

Junp was still trembling from his rather peaceful aura surrounding him " I am G-"

The giant has let out a sighing gust out of his hidden mouth "...you scared them, you and the Black one." He stood to stretch his back before packing up his belongings "Shame to leave this good spot. Don't follow, I won't be ever so kind to pestering little people."

How large is the wooden container? Because I've got an idea brewing here that might just help a lot regarding the door.

>>3717247
not much, slightly larger than a coffer

>>3717274
I hope I don't sound stupid, but how big is a coffer?

>>3717279
smaller than a treasure chest.

>>3717283
So, like, a cubic foot perhaps?

The plan here is to pull a not-the-intended-use with the safe's lithification field to manufacture quality building materials out of the one thing this world has fucktons of. Pack the box full of snow or crushed ice (by the sounds of it we can get it down here on level -2) as a mould, tip it out like a sandcastle, cut them into blocks, place them around the safe and then lob a stone at the safe to trigger it and produce a batch of stone bricks! Having a supply of them should immensely help with bricking up the door properly.

>>3717339
It can work out i guess, on the account of critical thinking. You will have to roll for it to avoid some mishaps in this seemingly easy task

>>3717339
We can't build real good stuff using just this as we don't have mortar or other stuff. A bunch of stone bricks will still be a massive improvement over what we have (i.e. nothing). As long as the runes have magic we have infinite stone. If the runes do run out of magic, we'll have access to the mystery box.

>>3717415
You should have seen the giant grin I got when the idea popped in. We'll wait to see what the other people have to say.

[Tremendous Success]

With your utmost care, you have about a dozen of icy bricks around the safe. It was a tedious task but it sure paid off after the stony miasma has claimed them.

>You have stone bricks (12)

This is definitely a better choice compared to using rubble; so uniform and efficient. Juno has faithfully carried them away as per your command. However, you were really tempted to get what is inside the safe choosing to pelting it with stone until the rune was no more. You wouldn't trust Juno with such simple task, she must get herself petrified by contrived means. You wonder how long this will take....

>Specify for how long you will keep throwing rocks at the safe
>Choose another 2ry action
>Write in.

>>3717723
I quite like our new stone brick machine and I'd much rather keep it for future production, but it seems very likely a macguffin is inside of it and we lack the means to go up or down further.

I'd like to create one more batch of bricks (2ry) and then spend the rest of the day stoning it (3ry). Maybe turn Orko McRusty upstairs into a statue.

>>3718067

This precious part could be useful in future projects. Your new set of bricks are looking quite promising.

>You have stone bricks (12)

You decided to work on making the door using both the bricks and the rubble with Juno's sludge being the sap that will hold them together. Naturally, Juno was by your side (for insulation purposes)

>The temporary door's progress (0/150) is divided into:
-50 Makeshift Door of any sort for passage
-100 for the wall itself which can be completed using either 100 rubble or 50 Bricks (or a mixture of both) and 2 bone barrels worth of sludge.
-You currently have 60 Rubble and 24 bricks
-While this is a construction roll, it will be average of d100 due to magnitude (reduced to d80 due to Juno's combined effort)

>Specify rubble/brick ratio to be use and roll d80, average of three

>>3718114
I don't think any of us requested to build the door, did we? We don't have enough materials (both rubble and brix).

>>3718144
hmm youre right i think, i thought i missed it earlier

>>3718144
> spend the rest of the day stoning it . Stoning=building door
we do have enough sans the door itself. maybe i thought of something else.

>>3718144
>>3718154
you could choose another 3ry action if you want. Nothing is set in stone.

>>3718157
stoning the safe homie like keep throwing rocks at it to trigger the rune to burn it out is how i read that
>>3718165
and thats good to know, sometimes in other quests we're totally locked in

>>3718165
Except the bricks, of course.

And yes, I meant just throw stones, snowballs and other useless items for entertainment value at the safe to burn it out.

Unless.....perhaps the Neosm possess the Arcana knowledge to open it when they come back in a day or two?

>>3718185
right.

>>3718201
throw stones like a lovestruck teen and it's his crushes window late at night

>>3718185
>>3718214

It was rather fun in the first hour or two. As time went on, it became a mind-numbing chore. The rune still persists to spite you hissing its content at the slightest contact. You need this distraction as mundane as it was.

Before retreating to your bed, Juno came up to you whispering "Master, Night hide walking four or six. What doing?" Unlike your morning guest, you heard an inquisitive snarl followed by a sniff. A ruckus had soon erupted before a painful shriek echoed in the great silent.

You took a peak from the trapdoor, it was pitch black but you could see the faint glow of the afflicted scrap parts scattered all over. The creature must have touched them, death will soon follow.

[Tremendous Success!]

It was hard to exactly know what was going on up there thanks to the howling winds. Your darkling was more than eager to let out the primal beast inside of her as she waltzed right away, axe in hand.

Some time has passed, it made you anxious and uncertain of the final outcome. The cries of pure joy is soaring in the starless skies dispelling anything foul; Juno has returned!

She was dragging a headless corpse of an animal with thick white fur and a scaly tail, its six long limbs had fleshy feet, bulbous in a fine way. The body itself was relatively small in comparison " Head Blue, Blue! Poor Juno No head!"

The headless body continued to spill vicious red blood on the floor. "What Juno do in dead?"

It was gruesome and exhausting to rely on the faint lights of the fireflies. You desperatly need a light source so you won't squint at everything. You dropped dead on your bed, ignoring the bloody mess of the floor. Time to sleep.
