Last time on Crypt Quest Andelia got replaced by her evil reflection and the party gained entrance to a large, circular chamber. After a bit of looking around and investigation Andelia was freed from the mirror and her reflection was banished. Once the entire party had entered the circular room the door disappeared into the stone and a mysterious voice spoke to the party before four skeletons were teleported into the room with them.
The party faces four skeletons. Every bone of each skeleton is covered in bronze and their joints are held together with wire. Each one is armed with an axe and an ornate shield. One skeleton is missing a leg and using its shield as a crutch. Please resume where you left off last time.

>>112659
You focus your healing powers on Anelia and completely heal her bruised face and loose teeth.
>>112660
The skeleton deflects your swing with its shield and leaves you open. Before you can do anything it brings the flat end of its axe up under your jaw. The force of the blow flips you over and you land on your back, Helpless.
>>112661
Thin tendrils shoot up from the cracks between the heavy floor tiles and wrap around a skeleton's back legs. It can still attack and defend, but cannot move.
>>112662
Your arrow deflects harmlessly off its shield. It's axe does not deflect harmlessly off of you, but your leather armor softens the blow a little.
>>112664
The bronzed skeleton is heavy, but you in your armor are heavier. You slam into the three legged one and send it flying.
>>112668
Your bolt pierces the skull of a nearby skeleton. The force of it pushes the skull back, but the wires mitigate the damage.

>>112679
Before the skeleton has a chance to attack her again you rear up and strike at the skeleton with your forehooves. The skeleton, rattled slightly backs off a few steps.
>>112680
You fire a bolt at the rooted skeleton and dent its metal skull.
>>112681
The skeleton uses its shield to deflect your charge. The weight of you pushing against it is enough to break the roots holding it down.
>>112683
You jump backwards onto a table and put a bolt into its skull, making it look like a unicorn.
>>112684
The skeleton that Andelia hit was pushed into your path. It smacks you aside with its shield and sends you rolling across the ground. You are too dizzy to stand up.
>>112685
After using your tongue to make sure all your teeth are still in place you roll over and stand back up.

>>112688
>>112689
Your lightning bolt causes the metal encasing its skull to glow for a few seconds before it starts dripping down. When the metal cools bits of white skull are exposed.
>>112690
You bump a table trying to stand up and bring several things down on top of you, including a large number of books, a stone cutting board, and a jagged knife. Before they can strike you…
>>112692
>>112693
Both of you pull him to safety and help him back to his hooves.
>>112691
You turn around and slam back into the skeleton, denting its shield and forcing it back a few feet.
>>112694
Your arrow denigrates as soon as it touches the skeleton.
"What is this? You have spirit, little necromancer, but you are out of your league."

>>112696
The metallic skeleton grazes your flesh with its axe before you can rear up.
>>112697
The cut where the axe hit him seals shut, but some light bruising remains.
>>112698
You take aim and fire at an exposed patch of skull. Your bolt bounces off, but leaves a large crack in the skull.
>>112699
The skeleton knocks your morningstar aside with its axe and headbutts you. The force of the impact causes you vision to go blurry for a few seconds, and when it returns to normal you are Helpless.
>>112701
>>112702
Your beholder fires a ray that fails to even warm the skeleton it was aiming at, but the other ray hits the skeleton with three legs and causes it to fall out of synch with time. +1 to all rolls against that skeleton this turn.
>>112703
The voice remains silent and your bolt pierces the shield of a skeleton.

The voice remains silent and your bolt pierces the shield of a skeleton.
>>112709
Your bolt puts a dent into one of the skeletons shoulders in slow motion.
>>112717
Your bolt scrapes some of the bronze off of a bone.
I will speak to each of you when your vermin bodies lie broken and unmoving.
>>112718
You lift your hoof and wipe some blood from your nose just in time to avoid an axe blow. You are still down, but at least your hoof is still attached.
>>112721
Before it can chop at her again you pull her away and help her stand.
>>112727
You rear back too far and fall over backwards. Luckily a blue beam from Olga's minion strikes the skeleton and renders it motionless before it can attack you.
>>112732
You pick up the axe. It is well made and the blade is unmarred by chips or rust.
>>112712
>>112730
A beam of fire strikes one of the skeletons, causing the bronze encasing its bones to glow before melting and forming a molten puddle beneath it. The wire holding its joints together fared better, but it has also taken some damage. Rays design to exhaust and knock out targets hit two other skeletons. One skeleton stops moving as its energy is temporarily sapped and the other, being undead and therefor not requiring sleep, is unaffected.
The final ray, a beam of loathsome, black energy, strikes the temporally troubled skeleton. In slow motion a dark corona forms around the skeleton as its bones begin to twist. Slowly the bones lengthen and split; forming new shapes even as the bronze runs along its bones. The skeleton grows taller and its bones become thicker and denser. Claws sprout from its hooves and its mouth fills with fangs. Two large, scythe shaped talons sprout from its back and the flowing bronze runs upwards and coats them, forming a razor sharp edge. As the time around this fresh horror returns to normal its changes finish and it stops growing as it reaches roughly the same size as Celestia.

A few seconds after the skeleton's transformation finishes the voice begins laughing a hateful, scoring laugh.
>>112766
>>112767
Before you can fire your bolt of electricity the skeleton that was stopped by Olga's minion begins moving and crashes into you, knocking you off your hooves.
>>112769
Your swing knocks small chunks of bone off of some of its ribs, but doesn't do any real damage.
>>112770
You hit it in the same spot that Korrin did and manage to crack a few ribs.
>>112771
The pink glow that surrounds the monstrous skeleton is quickly snuffed out by the vile darkness surrounding it. The voice stops laughing laughing long enough to speak.
That was clever, I must admit, but this new creature is blessed by lord Grogar. You will need more strength if you wish to harm it that way; strength I do not believe something as vile as you possesses.
>>112774
Your arrows bounce off its thick bones. While you are distracted one of the regular skeletons comes up behind you and slices at you with his axe. The blow lands in the same spot that the previous one did and bites into your flesh. The force of the the attack and the pain cause you to collapse and become Helpless.
>>112775
You pour a foul smelling liquid across her back that is quickly absorbed by her skin. A few seconds later her bruises and cuts vanish.
>>112777
Your stone flies true and hits one of its bronze talons, snapping off the top few inches of it.
>>112765
The fiery ray once again fails to manifest, but the yellow ray strikes it and slows down the time around it. +1 to attacks against it next round.
>>112783
Your beholder fires another black beam, but it aims this one at Happyhorn's spider. The things convulses as it swells to twice the size of a pony and all the damage done to it is replaced by new, but dead, flesh. A few drops of acidic venom drip from its fangs. As these things happen the voice stops laughing.

>>112794
>>112801
You stand back up.
If what the voice said was true, and you have no reason to believe it isn't, and the giant skeleton is blessed by Grogar, then one of several things could happen. The resurrect spell could overpower his infernal protection, it could be nullified by his power, or it could be twisted around and kill you.
DC1 to not be killed instantly, DC9 to kill it instantly by using ressurect.
>>112795
It's dark aura surrounds it like a shield and absorbs both rays easily.
>>112798
It kicks you away before you can attack it. Your thick armor keeps you from being hurt or knocked over, and instead you just slide backwards until you hit a table.
>>112799
Your stone hits it in the mouth. While it does not take the monsters head off, it does knock out most of its fangs.
>>112800
You trust your faith to protect you from an advancing skeleton, but before you can try to turn your faith against it the skeleton swipes at you with an axe, but you are lucky and get away with a simple cut.
>>112808
You bandage his cut.
>>112810
A few of the floor tiles split in half as thick roots climb and twist 'round the large skeleton. They constrict and hold it in place, but it wastes no time before trying to cut them away with its talons. It is immobile for two turns and cannot counter attack.
>>112818
Once Mirabelle finishes bandaging you a string of web hits you on the back. Your spider pulls the sticky strand and you go flying up into the air before coming down on its back. You have a good firing position from up here, but you might slip and fall off.

>>112824
You lower your head and charge like an angry ram. The roots hold it in place as you smash into it and several of the bones it its leg crack.
>>112825
The bronze skeleton blocks your punches with its shield then cracks you across the head with it. You are now Helpless.
>>112826
You smash one of the large roots holding it down as hard as you can and turn it into wood fiber and pulp.
>>112827
>>112829
None of your missiles penetrate the black cloud surrounding it and instead vanish.
>>112831
Your rear up and bring your hooves down on its cracked ribs. They break off and the skeleton's dark aura trembles.
>>112833
The skeleton's movements become jerky as a pink glow engulfs it. It starts advancing towards you once the glow glow vanishes, but some white powder falls from inside its dark eye sockets.
>>112835
The spider charges Pomelo's skeleton and tries to bite it. The skeleton has no flesh for the fangs to find purchase in, but the acid dripping from them dissolves some of its protective metal. Some white powder pours out of the new holes.
>>112839
The eye it keeps trying to fire heat beams must be damaged, but a yellow ray strikes the beast as it frees itself with Mirabelle's hopefully unintentional help. +1 to all rolls against it this turn.

>>112844
Your spell has not effect on the skeleton, but the heat of the lightning does cause the metal coating its talons to melt slightly and lose a bit of their edge.
>>112845
You get back up and take a few steps back from the skeleton.
>>112848
You hit a particularity hard spot of bone. The skeleton notices you hitting it and swipes at you with a clawed hoof, drawing red lines across your back and side.
>>112849
Your stones make it through this time. They hit its head and crack its jaw, knocking out the remaining fangs.
>>112850
This was never meant to be an offensive spell, but that doesn't stop you from trying. The three regular skeletons convulse as pink light surrounds them and more powder pours from the damaged one, but all three remain standing. The large one is unaffected. The prayer takes a lot out of you and you collapse Helplessly.
>>112852
The skeleton is hit by another yellow beam, but one of your beholder's eye stalks catches fire. The fire goes out on its own, but reduces the number of operating eye stalks to 5. You take out your talisman and focus your power through it, but come up against a power that makes your skin crawl. The large skeleton turns its gaze and looks at you, though you. Your power fails and you fall to the ground, Helpless. +1 to all rolls against it this turn.
>>112853
It kicks you away before you can attack it again, and you hit a wall this time. You stay standing despite the pain.
>>112854
The skeleton hacks off one of one of your spider's legs halfway up, but your arrow punches all the way through one of its bronzed bones and some more dust falls out.
>>112855
The severed half of the spider legs falls on you, and some of its blood leaks onto your exposed skin; stinging and burning.

You try to get up as the skeleton, sounding as if it were full of stand draws closer. It raises its axe, but before it can bring it down two things happen.
>>112861
You pull Pomelo away from the skeleton and help him back to his hooves.
>>112862
And you strike the skeleton twice, breaking the now hollow tubes of bronze and watching as white powder pours out. The metal skeleton falls down, held together only by its wires.
>>112863
You stand up and watch in horror as something goes wrong with your beholder's slow ray. The yellow beam strikes the massive skeleton, but instead of stopping the skeleton seems to cross the room and slice at your beholder in the blink of an eye. When time returns to normal your beholder as several holes in it, and only three eye stalks.
>>112863
Moonlight surrounds your body and pushes back the dark aura around the skeleton. When the moonlight fades the darkness returns, but not as strong as before.
>>112865
Ramming the same leg would require running under it, but Discordians do unexpected things and you figure that this is stupid enough to work. Long story short: It isn't and you get kicked across the room again. At least your armor takes the blow for you.
>>112866
Ignoring the acid on your back you toss the leg away and run over to Mirabelle. Opening a small jar you scoop out a greenish paste and spread it over her cuts, causing the pain from them to fade.
>>112867
Your spider turns and fires some web at the large skeleton. It's dark aura dissolves some, but the rest stick to it and hang off without impeding its movement.
>>112870
The skeleton that was disarmed by Korrin bucks you in the side while you are trying to aim at the large skeleton.

>>112873
Focusing on the black goop on her back your let your power flow into it. The black stuff quickly becomes inert.
>>112874
Not being trained in how to use long ranged weapons at close range, your shot misses. You are able to dodge its attack though.
You fly over to the other armed skeleton and deliver a series of blows, destroying it's shield and breaking many of its bones through the metal that protects them. It is still standing, but only by virtue of the metal and wires.
>>112876
You maneuver around the skeleton this time and chop its leg like a lumberjack chops a tree. There is a loud crack and you take the bottom two-thirds of its leg off. The darkness shrouding it trembles and shrinks.
>>112877
Unphased by the sudden assault your minion fires a red and yellow ray point blank at the monstrous skeleton. The beam of fire chars the skeleton's backbone and the yellow ray slows it once again. +1 against all rolls against the skeleton this turn. You shakily murmur words meant to cleanse you, but when you try to use your powers on the skeleton a fell voice whispers in your head. The shock of the intrusion knocks you Helpless.
>>112878
>>112878
You strike one of its rear legs and cause a small fracture to form.
>>112879
Your stones hit it on its cracked jaw and take the entire thing off. All that is left of its face are two empty, dark eyes. The shadow surrounding it flickers every now and then.
>>112880
Thin roots snake up from the floor and tie around the large skeleton. It cannot attack this round as it is busy cutting itself free.

>>112892
You unleash a flurry of blows on the skeleton faster than eyes can track. The thing deforms under your vicious attack. When your last punch lands the skeleton goes flying into the other bronzed skeleton. They both explode.
>>112894
You strike its rear leg again and widen the crack. A few bits of bone fall off.
>>112895
The smell of a fresh grave fills your nose and takes the strength from your body. You collapse like a marionette with it strings cut.
>>112896
Your beholder tries to aim its fiery beam around the roots holding it in place, but ends up missing because of it. The yellow beam misfires and the tendril it fires from is erased from time. The sight of your minion failing discourages you and keeps you from getting up.
>>112897
You rear up and fall over again. Maybe the lack of a tail is throwing off your balance.
>>112898
The skeleton your were fighting is no more, so you zap the bronze talons instead. The metal melts like butter, but the bone talons are still sharp enough to cut away the last of the roots.
>>112899
Your stone breaks apart the rest of its head. The skeleton sways back and forth, but instead of falling apart some of the darkness surrounding it is drawn off and assumes the shape of a head.
>>112901
You ram the leg that Mirabelle was working at and snap it off.
The darkness shrouding the massive skeleton is now just a faint shadow.

>>112920
You manage to get rid of the deathly smell and stand back up.
>>112921
Your bolt strikes a fire-weakened vertebrae and pulverizes it. The back half of the skeleton falls away. Some of the darkness fades away, but the rest collects around the front half.
>>112922
You get up, but the darkness that has gathered around a smaller area absorbed the ray of flame.
>>112923
You pour some water on him.
>>112924
You are still on the ground.
>>112926
>>112927
The two of you help Pomelo stand up.

Your stones glow pink and tear off chunks of darkness as they pass through it.
>>112933
>>112934
You wash off the burns on her back with some water before bandaging them.
>>112935
You place a hoof against his wounded side and let your healing energy flow into it. The bruise that was forming there disappears.
>>112937
You hit it in the chest and hear some bones crack.
>>112938
You drink a fortifying draught and shiver as the pain leaves your body.
>>112939
No sooner are the words out of your mouth than one of its bone talons slices you from your ear down to your hoof. The slice isn't even an inch deep, but it burns like fire.
>>112941
The yellow beam hits it once again and it slows down. +1 to all rolls against it next turn.
The voice speaks again.
What? How? This isn't possible! Not again!

>>112944
>>112945
Your lightning bolt fractures the skeleton's bones as lightning arcs between it and the pool of copper beneath it.
>>112946
The darkness takes on a shade of pink and grows even fainter.
>>112950
>>112951
A talon lashes out at each of you. Korrin's armor protects him from the attack, but Andelia receives a cut that stretches from where her mane would start all the way down to where her tail would start.
>>112952
Pure moonlight shines from your body and banishes all of the darkness except the black skull.
>>112953
It does not respond to your challenge, but the yellow and red beams that strike its face cause it to collapse.
>>112957
As the last of the darkness disappears your stones break apart its talons and neck.
No! Impossible! How? HOW?

Previously in Crypt quest the party fought with four skeletons, each one with bronzed bones and wired joints. After a few minutes of fighting the party learned what happens when you pump something reanimated by necromancy full of even more necromantic energy. Despite the mishap the party emerged victorious.
The party stands in the center of a dark, circular room. The room is large enough that the walls are shrouded in darkness. All around them lie the scattered contents of tables and various bones. The voice that spoke to them during the fight speaks again.
I see now. This was a test from Grogar, a test I nearly failed. I will destroy you parasites myself.
Everyone roll a DC7 spot check.

The three of you cannot see where the voice is coming from.
>>114237
You don't see him, but you see lots and lots of things in need of cleaning. Some of the tables here are absolutely filthy.
>>114232
>>114236
The two of you can spot movement in a part of the room that looks darker that the rest of it. Looking as hard as you can each of you can see three skeletons standing in front of a large ball of inky darkness, much like what surrounded the massive skeleton.
I should have done this sooner. It would have been faster.

Pinkie doesn't say anything, but you can feel your skin tingle.
>>114251
Looking through the darkness hurts, but inside the black sphere you can see a pony shaped figure.
>>114253
You unleash a string of insults at him in Fancy.
That's quite a mouth you have. It needs washing out before I burn each and every one of you.
The three skeletons start walking towards you.
>>114254
You mix up something and drink it without paying attention. Nothing happens for a few seconds, then your body itches all over as your coat, mane, and tail regrow.
The ball of darkness grows more solid and the party can smell magic hanging thick in the air.
Not much longer until all of you are ash. Not much longer after that until all of your friends are ash too.

>>114265
A black tendril lashes out from the sphere, causing you to jump to the side to avoid it. You don't get hit, but you bump against a table's sharp corner and bruise yourself.
>>114266
The bolt hits the skeleton in the head with enough force to spin its skull around backwards. +1 to all attack against this skeleton.
>>114267
You close your eyes and try to picture you beloved moon, but all you can see is an expanse of stars and the night sky. Cruel, mocking, regal laughter fills your head and you collapse Helplessly, having somehow been touched by your goddess's anathema.
>>114270
You charge into a skeleton and scatter its bones across the room. The ones that hit the black sphere vanish instantly.
>>114271
You rear up and bring your weight down on the third skeleton, snapping off a few bones.
The smell of magic in the air grows stronger and the dark sphere begins to pulse.
Soon, so soon now. This is all your fault, too. If you had followed the agreement you would have never galvanized me into action.

You murmur a prayer and water and the skeleton's joints are gummed up with silly string. +1 to all attacks against this skeleton.
>>114282
Your arrows fly into the sphere. It is impossible to tell if they made it through.
>>114283
You quickly run through a set of calming exercises. You clear your mind of the feeling of Nightmare Moon's touch and feel your faith burn more strongly than ever. +1 to your next Divine Wrath.
>>114284
Your bolt hits the skeleton's skull and explodes it into small fragments. The bolt keeps flying, ricochets off a wall, and hits the third skeleton, taking off a silly string coated leg.
>>114285
>>114286
Black tendrils lash out at both of you, stealing your breath away. They make you want to sleep, to give up.
What agreement? It is far, far too late to play stupid. This is the end for you little bloodsuckers.
The coruscating ball begins pulsing faster and faster. The surface of it begins to writhe and squirm as mad laughter echoes around the room. All sound dies as a bolt of dark lightning strikes upwards from the ball to the stone ceiling.
Everyone roll.

>>114295
The two of you huddle together.
>>114294
You try to run but fall into the basin in the middle of the floor.
>>114297
>>114298
Both of you run into each other. Pomelo goes flying while Korrin keeps going and runs into a table, getting tripped up by the wood and debris.
>>114304
Your spider pulls you off its back and places you on the floor before laying down on top of you to try and act as a shield.
More bolts silently lance upwards. Each one comes soon than the last until a wildly dancing beam connects the sphere with the with the ceiling. The beam grows in width and a darkness, distinct from the one caused by a lack of light, spreads across the ceiling. As the last bit of it is covered the silence is broken by a loud crack and the ceiling seems to disappear as the room is flooded with sunlight.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YES! YES! IT WORKED! BURN! SCREAM AND BURN!
Pomelo, roll to see where you land.

>>114322
As you try to climb out of the basin…
>>114320
You land on top of Dreamkicker and both of you tumble down to the bottom of the stone basin. You are both tangled up with each other and Helpless.
>>114323
You help her stand back up.
Joke? You are the joke! You and all your kind!
>>114324
The yellow beam is swallowed by the black sphere, but the red beam burns away some of it. Squinting reveals the outline of a pony shaped figure. Your is answered when…
>>114326
A root slither out of one of the broken patches of floor and pulls you upright. Once you are standing the root disappears back into the ground.
'Think'? What do you mean 'think'?
>>114334
You jump from the ground to a table, and from the table into the air. Channeling the spirit of the eternal wrestler you elbow drop the skeleton and smash it to pieces beneath you.
Wha-what is going on? Why aren't any of your bursting into flame? How have I failed?

>>114342
Your cheeks flush and you cannot stand up.
You are still Helpless.
>>114343
You get up, making the awkward situation even worse given your close proximity to Dreamkicker.
You are still Helpless.
>>114350
You try to pull Pomelo out of the basin, but >>114357 stops you.
>>114348
>>114354
>>114357
Not vampires? Why didn't you say so? Do you have any idea how hard it was to cast that spell?
The black sphere sphere shrinks and becomes translucent, revealing something in the shape of a pony behind it. The figure is wrapped in old, cloth bandages that sag and are loose in some places, revealing bare bones beneath them. It wears ancient barding that looks like it was meant as decoration rather than armor, and has a sword hanging from it. Covering its head is a funeral mask painted with a stylized unicorns face that is similar to the one in the paining in the mausoleum.
If all of you really are among the living you can be useful to me, and I can reward your usefulness. First, though, tell me why you are down here.

"Mirabee…" I look sadly at Dreamkicker and Pommy but leave them alone.
To the skeleton pony, I step forward and kneel. "If you are truly the guardian of this place, maybe you have the answers we seek. Ponies have been vanishing at an alarming rate, my search lead me here. Do you know what happened?"
Rolled 9 = 9

Both of you stand up this time, but are still at the bottom of the basin. DC3 to climb out.
>>114371
Disturbances in the graveyard? Yes, he and his children have defaced some of the buildings and monuments. To answer your question, I am Trotston, Lord Trotston. I founded this town long ago with my family and a few others. I must say that I am surprised to see a necromancer goat who does not follow Grogar.
>>114373
A follower of Discord? One of my dear friends in life, a minotaur, followed Discord and helped me come up with some of my favorite traps. I still speak with him every now and then.
>>114374
He looks at Andelia.
>>114378
Ah, they still teach ponies to respect their superiors. This is good.
He motions for you to stand, but becomes silent when you mention the disappearing ponies.
A vampire has been abducting them and bringing them back here. When he broke into my home I did not realize what he was until it was too late. The fight with him left me…weakened. He spared me on the condition that I would keep this place clean and maintained, and I was able to convince him to limit the number of his victims. He did not listen of course, and now all of you are here.

You climb out of the basin and, blushing like a schoolgirl, rejoin the others.
>>114413
Your reward will depend upon how helpful you are. At the very least I will let each of you leave with your lives and promise a peaceful rest to any of you that die fighting the vampires.
>>114416
You also climb out and rejoin the others.
>>114418
It doesn't move, but it starts to laugh. The harsh, dry laughter fills the room and grows in volume until it can almost be felt. After a while the laughter dies.
Your people must not know much about necromancy, my dear, for I am no spirit. I am a devotee of Grogar and a lich; my very existence glorifies him and is proof of his power. You know little about your art, goat, but you are wise to bow.
>>114423
Bones creek as he turns to look at you.
Your assistance is appreciated, young Andelia. I saw that two of have been blessed by your goddess with powers that can hurt the vampire and his spawn, but the rest of you are sorely lacking. There are…multiple ways that I can help.

You can help me by killing the vampire and his minions in the crypts below. If you help me repair my phylactery I can aid each of you myself. If you do not wish to do that I can put a silver edge on each of your weapons, and give silver weapons to those of you that do not have anything.
>>114452
The lich laughs again.
Your ignorance is amusing. Once the vampires have been destroyed maybe I will let you remain here so that you may learn. Grogar has seen you, child, and he has taken an interest in you. This is why your life was not snuffed out when you attempt to resurrect the skeleton that you changed.
>>114449
A castle is too obvious. My place here is close to the town, close to a source of emergency labor if the odd adventurers or pack of diamond dogs is not enough, and not easy to find.
He pauses.
If the nature worshipper rejects my offer, I may extend it to you. I would be…pleased to train a goat in the ways of necromancy, but only if the goat can prove itself worthy.
>>114454
You blush but contain, among other things, your spaghetti.
>>114458
Many things are possible. When I was just starting down the path of the necromancer I met a vampire that worshiped Celestia, of all things, and was even granted a modicum of her power.

>>114473
>>114474
>>114481
Excellent. So eager, too. I am starting to like you all. Decide on whose soul you will use while I am retrieving weapons.

Prove yourself by performing the sacrifice, or even offering your own soul. Grogar rewards those who embrace death, and I reward those who help me.

He nods. His horn glows behind his face mask and he disappears with a small flash of light.
It is very fun. Collecting a soul in the fashion that is needed here always is.
>>114473
>>114474
>>114481
Excellent. So eager, too. I am starting to like you all. Decide on whose soul you will use while I am retrieving weapons.
>>114484
Prove yourself by performing the sacrifice, or even offering your own soul. Grogar rewards those who embrace death, and I reward those who help me.

He nods. His horn glows behind his face mask and he disappears with a small flash of light.

"We're not telling him that we're not helping him with his phylactery problem. As far as he knows, we'll do both."
"And we're not coming back to him after we've done the deed. Or at least I'm not."
>>114538
"A lich is not a stain on the carpet, maid. It's a wizard more powerful and ancient than you can understand."
>>114539
"I trust that if we help him any more than is absolutely necessary, none of us will leave this tomb."

There is a small pop and flash of light as the lich reappears with a few weapons and bars of silver. He whistles, a noise that sounds like dead leaves being blown around, a jaunty tune as he levitates a knife out of his wrappings. The blade looks like a sharpened rib, possibly one of his. He looks at the the party standing together.
Well? Have you chosen a sacrifice yet? The victim does not have to be willing if that is a problem, but it does have do be one of you that performs that ritual. I have not known any of you long enough to have formed any of the bonds that must be severed.

He is quiet for a few seconds.
They have covered their accents much better than you have. Do not worry. Miscommunications happen to the best of us.
>>114568
>>114570
>>114571
>>114576
The lich chuckles.
You will return after defeating the vampires with a sacrifice? Perhaps you will return with wealth and gems and corpses for me too? Or perhaps you will return with Inquisitors and holy warriors of the princesses to burn me out? This is not the first time I have been discovered, and would not be the first time ponies have come back looking for me. Once you leave this place you will not be coming back.
>>114566
>>114567
Are you absolutely sure that none of you wish to sacrifice a member of your group? Perhaps one of you has a personality that the others find grating, or one of you has not pulled you weight, or one of you has endangered the others and must be taught a lesson? What about you goats? Are any of you willing to sacrifice yourself? With Grogar's aid I need not use all of your soul. Your rewards would be rich indeed.

That is true only if Grogar extends his blessing to the ritual, and he will do that only for goats and necromancers. With his help a little more than a quarter of the soul will remain, and it can be repaired by rituals similar to this one. If any of you goats volunteer I promise to return your mind to your body and put what is left of your soul in a safe place where it will last until it can be repaired and inserted into a popper phylactery. I will also take you on as my apprentice and teach you what I know.
>>114608
Are you absolutely sure? I can over you power, knowledge, and immortality.
He looks at the rest of the group and sighs. His horn glows behind his mask and the bars of silver melt before streamers of molten metal stretch outwards towards the party's weapons and wrap about staffs, blades, and arrowheads. He then levitates weapons over to those who requested them.
If all of you are absolutely sure about you answer I will open the way for you to proceed.

What a pity. I had such high hopes when I saw the number of goats with you. I must admit to being surprised that one of you would purposefully try to push a companion through a mirror, but not sacrifice her when the end results are much the same.
>>114634
Soul. You meant to add soul in there. If you had wanted to say something else you would have said it.
>>114645
>>114649
Because I am not only a Trotston, but the head of the Trotston line. My age, status as a lich, and choice of deity do not change that. I was raised to honor my word.

Yes.

I will have to look into those. Thank you, Bessy.
His horn glows and a floor tile by the group disappears.
Down those stairs are the crypts where I take the bodies of the decedents of the town's founders after they are buried. Down there is also where the vampire and his spawn make their homes. All I can tell you is that there were no traps down there before he took them over. I have no knowledge of the modifications he has made or the number of children and thralls that he has.

Previously on Crypt Quest the party faced off against against the lich that built this underground structure. After a few rounds of building up power the lich unleashed his ultimate attack: Sunlight. Once the lich learned that the party were not vampires he ceased his attack. After a bit of conversing the party agreed to kill the vampire and his spawn for the lich, and even agreed to help him fix his phylactery. Before leaving to fetch the party weapons he revealed that he would need a soul to do so. When he returned the party convinced him that they did not know what they were agreeing to, so he let them off the hook. The party turned down several more offers by the lich and he eventually gave up and opened a staircase leading down for the party.
The party is in a large circular room that is lit with sunlight. It shows sign of a recent battle, and there is a hole in the ground leading downwards. The lich stands by the basin, managing to look dejected despite a painted mask covering his face.

The party descends the twisting staircase. After half a minute of walking the smell of the air changes from a stale dryness to damp, rotten scent. The reason for this is made evident when the party reaches the bottom of the staircase. The light from their lanterns reflects off of murky, stagnant water that comes over the first step of the staircase. The room is of a more traditional square shape and his supported by four pillars. The sound of trickling water can be heard and a few pony corpses float in the water. There is a flash of light and Happyhorn's spider appears in the room.

>>116267
You sling a few stones into the water. Each of them land with the same sound, except for the last one which lands in the middle of the room, between the pillars.
>>116269
You cannot see any traps.
>>116270
All of the corpses look like they have been floating in the water for at least a few days. Their bloated, saggy flesh makes it hard to see, but there are puncture wounds on their necks. The much more obvious wounds on the bodies are chunks of missing flesh. The toothmarks on exposed bone tell the tale of sharp, pointy teeth, but the size of the bitemark tells you that ponies did this. All the corpses are missing at least half their flesh. They are dead right now, but there is nothing keeping them from being raised.
>>116274
There are four walls, four pillars, a bunch of water, and some corpses.
>>116280
You jump up on your spider's back and survey the room. You can see everything that Happyhorn can, plus a crack on the left wall that water is trickling out of.
>>116287
You look at the corpse with your magical sight. You can see where the flesh was torn off the body, the rottenness of it, and puncture wounds on the neck.
Two voices speak.
"Well well, what is this?"
"It sounds like visitors."
"It sounds like snacks."
"So nice of our undead friend to send us snacks."
"Why would he send us snacks?"
"Because he thought he was sending us exterminators."
"I want a better look at them."
"Me too."

"They'd look so cute together."
"I hope he let's us keep them."
"Me too."
>>116301
"A maid?"
"How useful."
"Master will be pleased."
>>116302
You stick your head under the water but cannot find them. You take your head out of the water.
"Oh look."
"What?"
"Canned food."
"Do you have a can opener?"
"No, but it came with one."
>>116303
The two voices give an impressed whistle at the same time.
"Look at her!"
"She's huge!"
"We could feed for days!"
"Weeks!"
"She's trying to hide behind the cute goat!"
"So silly."
>>116307
You close your eyes and let your mind look at the room. Seeing nothing at ground level, you turn your gaze upwards. Two ponies are at the back of the room, standing on the ceiling as if that were a perfectly normal thing to do.
"Why does he have a bald butt?"
"Is he sick?"
"Does that mean he's no good?"
"Do you feel like we're being watched?"

Your bolt sinks harmlessly into a zombie's flank.
>>116359
You slip on something you don't want to think about in the water. One of the zombies starts to gnaw on your shoulder.
>>116361
You cave in part of a zombie's head with your mace. Bits of flesh, bone, and teeth fall into the water.
>>116362
You swing your axe at empty air and hit nothing. A zombie bites down on your armored leg and the force of its jaw crushes the armor there.
>>116366
You shoot at the same zombie Dreamkicker did, but hit it in the head. It tries to walk forwards, but one of its legs no longer works.

You swing your morningstar with both hooves and hit the zombie's head so hard that it collapses, along with the neck, into its chest. It dies.
>>116396
It bites harder and you can feel water against your hoof as it rends that small bit of armor in its mouth.
>>116398
Your zombie is dead, so you headbutt the zombie trying to chew throw Korrin's armor and push it away.
>>116402

Roots burst from beneath the water and hold the final zombie steady. You stab it harmlessly in the gut a few times.

Hooves running on stone can be heard through the open doorway at the back of the room.

You splash around in the water, but your heart wasn't in it. You can spot three false walls along the hallway. One on the left, one on the right, and another on the left. The water clears for a brief moment and you spot a metal line before the first false wall, after the last false wall, and separating every one in between. The space between each of the metal bars can fit four ponies, or two ponies and a buffalo or spider.

A voice fills your head, leaving no room for any other sense until it finishes speaking.
WHY DID YOU YOU DENY MY SERVANT, OLGA? DID HE NOT DEMONSTRATE MY POWER?
The party can hear flash snapping and bones cracking as the five corpses in the room stand. Their missing and damaged limbs and heads are remade into forms more terrible than they were before.
The party faces five zombies, some with fangs and claws.
>>116672
You pull the switch. Four metal walls rise from beneath the water and stone grinds and the false walls are lifted away. Each wall has a square of mesh big enough to look through in the center.
"What did they do that for?"
"Mortals are stupid."

Your shot misses.
>>116700
You strike one of the unmutated ones in the head a couple of times, cracking its skull.
>>116701
One of them, fast as lightning, lashes out with a freshly grown leg. It doesn't impact with much force, but the area where it hits your aches and burns.
>>116704
Your bolt bounces off a set a freshly grown teeth.
>>116706
You large spider begins climbing up a wall as you shoot one of them in the side. It does not notice your attack.
>>116709
>>116710
Some roots wrap around one of the mutated corpses, but wither and die after a few second of contact.
>>116712
You have to quickly move from from attack to defense when one of them swipes at your with a new leg. The tip of its hoof brushes yours and makes it cramp.
>>116715
Neither ray is able to fire from your heavily damaged beholder. Your staff is knocked aside by a zombie and it lightly brushes you, causing pain and discomfort.

Your shot goes wide and bounces off a pillar, then another pillar, then a wall. It continues to bounce and ricochet and when it finally splashes into the water three of the five zombies are helpless.
>>116749
You strike the zombie in the head again. Its weak skull splits open and its brains spill out.
>>116751
You manage to land a hit first, your silvered staff splitting the flesh on the head it hit.
>>116755
Bessy's iron nugget, before it finishes it's flight, hits you on the head and knocks you out cold.
>>116758
It is dead, so you turn you attention to Pomelo's zombie. You strike with as much strength as you can muster and crack its skull.
>>116759
Your beholder sears one of the zombies, unable to ignite the waterlogged corpse. One of its two renaming eyestalks vanishes as a time anomaly unmakes it. You can hear laughter, cold as the grave, as your powers fail and the zombie nips your leg.
>>116762
Your bolt useless hits its dead flesh and another one lunges at you, missing but touching you. The touch causes agony.

Your shot goes wide and bounces off a pillar, then another pillar, then a wall. It continues to bounce and ricochet and when it finally splashes into the water three of the five zombies are helpless.
>>116749
You strike the zombie in the head again. Its weak skull splits open and its brains spill out.
>>116751
You manage to land a hit first, your silvered staff splitting the flesh on the head it hit.

Bessy's iron nugget, before it finishes it's flight, hits you on the head and knocks you out cold.
>>116758
It is dead, so you turn you attention to Pomelo's zombie. You strike with as much strength as you can muster and crack its skull.
>>116759
Your beholder sears one of the zombies, unable to ignite the waterlogged corpse. One of its two renaming eyestalks vanishes as a time anomaly unmakes it. You can hear laughter, cold as the grave, as your powers fail and the zombie nips your leg.
>>116762
Your bolt useless hits its dead flesh and another one lunges at you, missing but touching you. The touch causes agony.

Dreamkicker didn't have anything, but your botched spell infected him with Bessy's girl germs.
>>116787
You kill one of the helpless zombies with a bolt through the head.
>>116789
All the zombies are helpless.
>>116791
You crush one of their heads with a single hoof.
>>116793
You are already up so you finish off the last zombie with your morningstar.
>>116802
They are all dead.
I need to call it here. I am too tired to run this and play Raisin quest at the same time. If you want to make any rolls I will be here, but leaving this room will have to wait for another night.

The party was confronted by two mysterious voices, which were revealed by Dreamkicker to be two ponies standing on the ceiling. When they realized that they were discovered they raised a few of the corpses and left the room. Once the party had put down the corpses they navigated around a trap in the center of the room and checked out a hallway. The party found signs of a trap in the hall and saw a level with one of them pulled, sealing them in the room. At the same time as this, Olga botched a prayer an raised all five corpses in the room, turning them hostile. Once the corpses were again laid to rest the party started to fool around, attracting the attention of the twins. After a bit of banter and talking Andelia convinced them to let them pass, and Olga convinced them to give nature worship a chance. To seal the deal the Twins let Andelia through the hall, fed, and returned her to the group. Andelia was then healed by Mirabelle.
The party stands in a dank, dark room. The water comes up to their knees and continues down the hallway they are standing outside of. There is no sign of the Twins.

"They aren't evil, they are being controlled by their master. He took their souls without permission, the same could easily happen to any of us-" I think back to what the twins said to me earlier. He likes pairs. Maybe you and baldy butt. rolling to see how embarrassed I get.

"Yes, it's not as if vampires are known for their powers of charm and manipulation."
>>117965
"It's a basic tenet of strategy that it's easier to destroy an enemy piecemeal rather than as a concentrated force.
"Furthermore, don't underestimate these creatures. They've managed to cow a lich into submission."

A bright pink with of paper with pictures of blue and yellow balloons on it appears in your mouth. It looks like an invitation to a party, but there is no writing on it. It tastes sugary.
>>117996
You spot a small vial under the water. When you pick it up and look more closely you can see that it is filled with a clear liquid, and that its stopper has a red cross painted on it.
>>117997
The writing only the paper is a messy scrawl that was made worse by the water, but you manage to read most of it.
Slow too slow too long go fast Master wakes up soon plan…..hunting…good luck.
There is a small, odd symbol beneath the writing. As soon as you glance at it the paper crumbles into dust.

There is a loud grinding and clanking as the first and third walls rise like the fourth one did. False walls one and three lift into the ceiling.

Pomelo is trapped by the now open third false wall. The rest of the party is trapped by the first false wall.

"Master is awake now."
"He says he can deal with you."
"He will watch."

"Go out and get snacks."

"Only two groups instead of three."

You can see the hallway revealed by the false wall make a sharp right turn up ahead. There is no sign of any trap in the hall.

You stick your head underwater and try breathing.

The rising metal wall bumped against your helmet and spun it around. It is now on backwards and you cannot see.

It is thick metal with a small, meshed window in the center of it. The window is too small to crawl through.

The beholder taps you on the back with an eyestalk and points out the meshed window on the fourth wall at the lever that controls everything in the hallway. The levers handle is missing.

You get to the end of the hallway and look into the room. It is small and flooded just like the hallway. The walls are stone and there is a thick, metal slab in the middle of the wall on the right that is probably covering a door. You can see a few ponies milling around in one of the corners on the other side of the room.

The red beam burns a hole through the wall approximately half the size of your hoof in diameter.

It's still stuck…

The thick slab is flush with with the wall and has no opening in it like the ones in the hallway did.

There are five of them. A few of them are lying down in the water while others are standing around. They occasionally twitch or scratch at bald patches on their pale, mangy coats. None of them have seen you yet.

Both of you carefully watch for traps as you round the bend and walk down the hallway. Both of you reach the end and look into a small, dark, flooded room. The walls are all stone and the only sign of a second exit is a slab of metal on the left wall. In the far right corner there is a large pile of ponies.

You can see a metal slab set into the left wall, a lot of stagnant water on the ground that comes up to your knees, and the thick stone walls and ceiling.
>>118120
One of the ponies in the pile twitches.
>>118125
You can see that there are fifteen ponies in the pile. Each of their necks has at least one set of bite barks. Their eyes are large, milky white pools and their mouths are full of needle sharp fangs and bits of meat.
>>118127
You cannot find a lever.
>>118128
You poke one of the ponies and yell at it, demanding it tell you about itself. The pile of ponies comes alive like an anthill and they each begin to screech and howl.
Everyone but Pomelo and Happyhorn roll for initiative and remember to tell me what your attack is.
>>118129
You can see that all of their eyes are large and white. Each one has a mouth full of needley fangs and a pair of puncture wounds on their neck. None of them notice you standing there.

One of them leaps off the top of the pile and lands on your back. It starts chewing on you, but your thick coat means the fangs only scratch you.

Your bolt hits it in the nose causing it to try and break off its attack. Unfortunately the water causes it it trip and crash into you. Both of you are still standing.
>>118138
Your beholder's final eyestalk catches fire and withers away. The other stalk fires a blue ray that hits one of the ponies and causes it to collapse.
>>118139
The pony grabs one of your hooves and starts to chew on your leg.
>>118140
The water keeps you from moving any faster than a walk in your extremely heavy armor. A few of the ponies jump on top of you and start trying to pull your armor off.
>>118142
You bang on the slab a few times, hoping that someone on the other side will open it. The five ponies in the room look around with blind eyes.
>>118143
Your roots snag one, but another one lands next to you and starts beating on you with its hooves.

A few more jump on, forcing you down into the water.
Roll to get them off of you.

It remembers its teeth and bites you before you can stab it with your spear. Unlike when the twins bit you, this actually hurts. Biting down hard, it yanks its head back and flips you over into the water. You are now Helpless.
>>118161
You grab it by one of its legs and can hear the bones snap. You then throw it into a small group of ponies and knock them all over like bowling pins.
>>118162
It grabs your other leg and starts chewing on it instead. The amount of pain is making it hard to stand.
>>118163
You stab its cheek and your blade comes out the bottom of its jaw. The thing screams like a wounded animal and tries to break free.

Your load a silver coated iron nugget into your sling and shoot it into the pile. It strikes one of the ponies in the head and smashes bone as it sinks into its flesh.

The spider crawl up onto the roof. The two of you, having no way to stay attached, fall off into the water. You are both Helpless and the five ponies are starting to walk towards your location. The Twins are laughing in your heads.

You try to strike at the one attacking you, but lower your defenses and allow two more to get close. One rips a large chunk of flesh out of your belly and the other tears out a large part of your neck. You cannot feel any pain, but you feel almost as cold as you felt in the mirror. It is hard to see anything, but the water around you is stained red.
>>118206
Your beholder cannot reach the one attack it, but the ghoul has to keep moving around to avoid the beam. You beat the one attacking you over and over again until its blood has turned your staff black and the pony floats in the water in front of you, dead.

The vampire that was struck by your horn is wounded, not dead. It grabs your helmet and starts trying to pull it off.

Your spider shoots the slab with some web and pulls. A bit of rock falls from the cieling, but the slab doesn't seem to budge.

You can't see the pony, but you can feel it tear some of your flesh off.
All of the ponies in each room suddenly go still. After a second all of them that are still alive begin to hiss and convulse, but move away from the parties and the slabs. Both slabs slide open, but Pomelo's slab ahs a bit of trouble thanks to being pulled slightly out of alignment.

One of them bucks you and hits you in the face. Your beholder manages to hit the pony chewing on it, setting it on fire and sending it running.
>>118225
You crush the pony up against the wall. It is still on you.
>>118227
>10
Despite the fact that you are Helpless and being eaten alive, you mix together a little something and drink it. You can feel your heart start to beat slower and your blood run thicker in your veins.
>>118229
On of the ponies tries to intercept you and gets hit instead.
>>118230
Your spider shoots the slab with some web and pulls. A bit of rock falls from the cieling, but the slab doesn't seem to budge.
>>118237
You can't see the pony, but you can feel it tear some of your flesh off.
All of the ponies in each room suddenly go still. After a second all of them that are still alive begin to hiss and convulse, but move away from the parties and the slabs. Both slabs slide open, but Pomelo's slab ahs a bit of trouble thanks to being pulled slightly out of alignment.

>>118240
You fly over to one of the ponies and snap its neck.
>>118241
You nearly trip over a sunken floor tile.
>>118245
You keep lying in the water and think of your friend and the two vampires while you slowly bleed out.
>>118248
You only saw one slab open.
>>118252
They start throwing rocks at you and your beholder.
>>118255
So you check the slab instead. It has sunken down into the floor, revealing a dark hallway behind it.
>>118256
Your spider silently crawls forwards across the ceiling and into the hallway behind the slab. You and Pomelo can see the hallway open up into another room ahead.
The largest group (not Pomelo and Happyhorn) hear the Twins inside their heads.
Slow.
Stupid.
Move quickly.
Stop breaking our broken toys.
Time is short while the Master is gone.

You mix something up for her and make her swallow it. Her missing flesh starts to grow back, but at a very slow pace.
>>118270
You trip and your heavy armor carries you to the floor. You are now Helpless and your head is underwater.
>>118272
You drop off the spider and go into the dark room. Without a source of light you cannot see anything.
>>118273
You slowly, painfully stand up.
>>118275
You walk down the hallway and into the next room. You lamp light it up and shows that it is much like the others, except there is an opening to your left and your right. More importantly, Pomelo is here.
>>118274
The pony shudders as you command it, and opens its eyes.
It starts to scream.
Horrible, terrified, pained screams.
The only time the screaming stops is when it draws more air into its lungs.
The screams go horse and raged as bits of its throat start cracking a peeling away from the force of its yelling.

The two of you follow through and can see everything that Bessy saw.
>>118285
You fall flat on your face, but >>118287 picks you up and carries you to the next room.
>>118286
You stand up and follow them.
>>118290
You remove your hoof and the pony falls limp and silent, but the look of terror remains on its face. You join the others in the next room.
>>118293
You give him something to take away his bruises.
>>118294
He is already up.
The sound of ponies walking can be heard from the room that Bessy and the others just came from, then the sound of voices speaking to the party.
"Finally."
"Finally."
"Time is short before the Master gets back."
"If any of you want to ask questions do it now."
"There are still things that need doing."

"Names?"
"We had names."
"When we were ponies."
"We can't remember our names."
"We almost can't remember being ponies."
"We are twins."
"We are the Twins."
>>118300
It looks like a health potion.
>>118301
"The Master is the Master."
"He found us."
"He made us."
"He is like a father."
"He keeps us safe and fed."
"He teaches us skills and secrets."
"Sad to see him go."
"We will miss him."
"Miss the food and shelter more."
"You and the not-as-cute goat are a good pair."
"Like us."
"That's why the master chose us."
"You look cute."
"And she looks fun."
"All four of us will have fun together."
"If you fail."

"Kill him."
"Kill the Master."
"If he dies we are free."
"We cannot let you kill him."
"But there is a loophole."
>>118304
"Just us."
"And the Master."
"Did he mean threats?"
"He should have said so."
"Tell him anyways."
"There are ghouls."
"All of them are in here with us now."
"We think this is all."
"He may have others."
"Maybe."
>>118305
"Not a real her?"
"Was it the arch?"
"We had fun with the arch."
"Fun for days and days."
"So many ways to have fun with the arch."
"Some of our toys had fun with us and the arch."
"The Master is out."
"Grabbing some snacks in town."
"One for each of us and himself."
"He thinks most of you will be the meal."
>>118307
"Really?"
"You don't like him?"
"Maybe you will."
"Maybe it won't matter."
>>118309
"Like a foal."
"It's not right to have fun with a foal."
"But he isn't a foal."
"Maybe just simple?"
"Maybe."
"Kill him."
"Kill the Master."

"That is the plan."
"Go to the lair."
"Hide."
"And kill him when he gets back."
"If you are too slow."
"Kill him when you get there."
>>118312
>>118314
>>118316
"We can tell."
"We have to try to save the Master."
"But if we cannot get to him."
"If we are trapped."
"It would take us a long time to help him."
"Maybe too long."
"Maybe if we were trapped here."
"Trapped once none of you want to talk with us anymore."
>>118315
"The arch was very fun."
"Very fun."
"You are a cute goat."
"Maybe a cuter girl goat."
>>118317
"You will know."
"If you fail."
"We will teach you."
"Teach you to have fun."

"Teach you to have fun."
>>118326
"No."
"We don't want to."
"He is fun to tease."
"You are wooly."
"You look warm."
"You would be a good blanket."
"If the Master wins."
>>118327
"Don't be upset."
"Unless you are cuter when you are upset."
"Are you?"
>>118330
"She learns fast."
"This is good."
"She can help us teach the cute goat."
"If the Master wins."
>>118331
"Under the water."
"To the right of the doorway."
"Pull it."
>>118333
"We will meet after you kill the master."
"And maybe after again after that."
"We have a name."
"We are the Twins."
Your roots fill the tunnel.
"Clever."
"Very clever."
"But they are brittle."
"Can be chewed through."
"Pull the lever."
>>118336
"We don't need saving."
"We don't need freeing."
"But we want freedom."
"We think we want it."
"No."
"We don't want to."
"He is fun to tease."

"We said where the lever was."
"You have a small brain."
"But a nice butt."
"Just the right amount of muscle."
"It looks good without the hair."
"We almost hope the Master wins."
"We will try not to break you."
"At least not too soon."
>>118339
>>118342
"Not yet."
"You have lots of blood."
"You would feed the goats."
"And we would feed you grass."
"Once you finally ran out."
"Then you would be a blanket."
"The rest of you food for the ghouls."
"If the Master wins."
>>118340
"Goodbye."
"For now."
You pull the lever and the metal slab clanks and groans as it rises up and seals the room off.
