You pull the torch away as fast as you can, wincing as the black marks spreading over your body sizzle and steam, burning you everywhere from your face to your chest and along your back. You apologize profusely, saying that you were just trying to be a good scientist and poke it with something.

"It's... it's okay, Renne. The feeling is gone already..."

You tell Saffron that you would like to check the lower levels, to see if anything has changed. She nods, rubbing her corruption marks while staying glued to your side. As you descend, the chorus of voices lessens, then disappears. The further down you go, the more dead and hollow everything seems. It gets colder, and even the pulse and movement of the temple is lessened by what you assume is the water outside of the temple. You find yourselves on the bottom floor, the emptiness of the temple practically making you feel hollow as well.

i don't know how we're going to get past the first two to be honest

Also, a fairly important announcement.
With tumblr being down all day, I was unable to complete some things that needed to be done for the Xjuntnxa tumblr and you would be unable to view it anyway if I had. So for all intents and purposes, you can ignore it. I'll find another way around things, but I didn't want you guys to tear your hair out over something that you can't see. If I get a chance to finish it, I'll let you guys know when it's relevant again. Sorry about that.
And no, this isn't a trick. I really would have liked to be able to use it.
>>
>>6516794

You tell Saffron that you'd like to test the depth of the pit. You both travel to the previous rooms, and after some checking inside of the severed golem's hand, Saffron picks it up. With a grunt, she tosses it into the abyss.

I was thinking we could go and take charcoal rubbings of a couple of things, though I worry I'm just putting things off. If we did, I'd want to get

Whelp. That's that. I guess.

Head back?
>>
>>6518922
I'm...not really sure what to deduce from that. Was expecting a splash indicating the bottom of this temple.

Anyway, unless someone's got a clear idea of where to go I'm going to keep spelunking.
Next idea is to stay on this floor and head east into where the pillar was. We dumped four bodies and a golem in that lava pit; while they may have all melted, I'd still like to see where it goes.
>>
>>6519183
We did fill it up with stone when we shattered the tower, but perhaps it's emptied out like the western lava chamber.

I vote we gather up all the torches we find as we go along. Maybe make sure Renne and Saff both have one each, too. Don't know how much more we'll be wanting to explore this place, and having more loot to Macguyver with is always handy.

Quest thread. LK's written up a scenario and is drawing pictures, and the people in the thread decide what actions the player character (Usually a pretty mare named Renne) takes.

Story starts off with an archeologist mare named Renne on a boat out to a new dig site.
The boat sinks, trapping her and her diamond dog friend inside until it breaks open on the bottom of the ocean.
They swim over to a strange temple that happens to be nearby to avoid dieing to water pressure, and then have to try to escape while various horrible things happen.

You can read the story so far over here

You head east, to the wall with writing on it. You pull out a piece of paper to get a charcoal rub of some of the writing, but find a good portion of it to be unintelligible. The wall is covered with old cracks, scuffs, and gouges. Looking at the floor beneath the writing, you can see rubble and dust from the wall.

Yeah, this wall's too damaged from the temple's activation for that to work now, I think. There's still that "Metal and stone control cha" line above to door to the devil's hand to check, later.
Current plan was to go check out the eastern lava room and see what's changed there, snagging some torches on the way.
I wonder if the lava-filled tubes are his legs.
Also where all the lava has gone.

You pilfer the torches in the room with the stairs as you head eastward, two for Saffron and one for yourself. You enter the base of what used to be the spire. No matter what you do, you cannot shake the cold, dead feeling permeating your very being and making your extremities numb.

>cold dead feeling
Damn, it's like a game of hot and cold, except the rules don't make any damn sense
Where else have we encountered that strongly?
I remember it used to get worse the further down we went. I'd figured that was because DP was down here, but now I don't know.
It was also strong in Baldwin's room-all those DD ghosts he was keeping there, maybe?

>Also had cold and numbness last time we went spirit for too long
The other theory I barely even want to think about is this feeling is a result of the corruption taking hold. Renne's corruption has clearly overtaken Saffron's by a good bit now.
Odd that Saffron felt the burning first when we poked the tentacle though, now that I think about it.
Perhaps Renne's corruption's greater, but Saffron's more directly linked since she's got two of the armour pieces?
>>
>>6521757

So, at the top of the temple we've got a million tormented and most likely malicious souls waiting just beyond the veil of the spirit world and bombarding us with their voices, and at the bottom we have a black hole of nothingness that's leeching at us just by being near it.

Rock and a hard place, eh? I won't be surprised if this pit is seemingly bottomless as well, but I suppose it's worth a look.

I suppose we might as well toss a lit torch here and save the trek back to the other room.

You peek over the edge and it seems to be the same as the previous, the sounds of stone and muffled water echoing up. The other sound is louder, however, but you still cannot place it. Saffron is shaking, again.

If the temple has been chilled due to being elevated to the freezing water.. and the black goop is infesting the temple complex... and the black goop is an extension of ourselves..

Logically the reason we're cold is because the chill of the temple is getting to the black goop.

You pull your torch up slowly, trying your best to stay calm. Saffron is trembling, breathing heavily as you hurry to the west. You're not sure how her torches haven't gone out with how bad she's shaking. You open your mouth to reassure her, but she cuts you off.

That's just going to be the slow wet sound of the tentacles that we couldn't hear until we illuminated them, I'm sure.

>Get to top floor

Where should we go now? Some people were saying the gear chasm. I don't know what would be there except POSSIBLY some clues as to how Chance's guts got hauled out of it.

Only place I can think of that we haven't explored yet after DP's betrayal is the Mind. There's also the voices in the upper levels, and checking out the goop with spirit mode on, but we've abused that power a lot and I don't think we should use it much more. Can we get a check on how Renne's feeling in general, maybe? Also, does that cold feeling subside as we leave this place? We might only be getting sensory feedback from black stuff if we're near it.

Also I don't know if we ever checked for spirit reverberations near that altar with the fresh blood on it.

I was the one calling for the gear chasm.
I just wanted to see if there was much action in there, whether those gears are linked in with the golem's movement or not. We're going past them anyway on the way up.

>Also I don't know if we ever checked for spirit reverberations near that altar with the fresh blood on it.
There were reverbs, I thought, but Renne was dead on her feet at the time and we wanted to conserve her energy. Now I'm almost too worried about the effects of going spiritmode any more to want to do it.

You lead Saffron up the stairs, telling her that you want to see if the gears play any part in the temple moving. You pass a massive bloodstain on the ground, coagulated blood and giblets covering the rubble where the decapitated golem once lay. You shake it off and walk east. The blood trail leads right to the chasm of gears. It is not as active as you had imagined it would be, but you can still hear noises from deep within. The grinding of metal gears screeches and echoes up from far and away, making you shudder at the thought of how deep the chasm goes.

So what's our opinion on checking out the spirit at the altar on this level?

Perhaps we're done for the day?
We usually begin to ded about this time anyhow.

>>6526753
<True, but I'll give it a little more time.>
>>
>>6526607

I still wanted to get a reading on how exhausted we're feeling. Physically we might be able to stand another dive or two but I don't know about mentally.

How long were we knocked out in Baldwin's chamber?

>How long were we knocked out in Baldwin's chamber?
No more than an hour.
>>
>>6526843

Okay...

Unless anyone has any objections, I'd propose heading back up toward the Mind.

Wasn't there a place to put the daggers?
>>
>>6527041
Looks like the only option. I say we do it.
>>
>>6527103

If there was, I don't remember it.
>>
>>6527041
The only other thing I can think of to do before getting into the headspace is to see if we can get anything more out of a charcoal rub of the cryptic "-l -nd stone united -ntrol cha-" line. I can't even imagine what that could have been.

>>6527128

a couple weeks back an anon pointed out a wall mural where we could potentially stick the daggers.

Had two slots. Everyone thought it was a good idea but then his suggestion got forgotten in the midst of shit happening.
>>
>>6527103
One was set into the top of the chair with a forcefield around it, and there was a slot in the back of the chair. We put the one that was in Baldwin's skull into the slot, and unlocked the forcefield so we could take the second. There have been no other places for them that I remember.

You sit down for a moment to catch your breath. It only takes you a few seconds to realize just how terrible you feel. You've been feeling progressively more out of touch with things, the coughing getting worse every time you travel to the spirit world. You feel absolutely exhausted, both physically and mentally, not quite sure how you've managed to stay on your hooves as long as you have.
>>
>>6527162

I'm skimming through the archives but if you could link a post or something that would be helpful. I don't see anything.
>>
>>6527255

Fuck I can't find it either. I'm positive something to that effect happened. Maybe in a non-archived dud thread.

Do we have every mural saved in a single image somewhere?
>>
>>6527349

I remember someone saying something like that last week or something but they never elaborated either. I'm pretty sure I'd remember something like that but I'm going back just to be sure.

I'm even more angry at Baldwin now reading through the archives. What a stubborn prick. He could have avoided this...

Maybe we should... sleep? It seems counter intuitive given that we're now running on borrowed time but our body and mind are really pushed to their limits.

This is something I really regret not suggesting before.

I was thinking more about the time before the golem gets to wherever it's going, but that too.

Oh, and another bit of what I assume is Chance's handiwork in the goatroom.

And that's all the wall designs I remember, apart from all that insanity in the Mind.

Where can we even go?

Oh! Wait, you weren't talking about this, were you?

I can't remember anything about another slot for the daggers either, so I'm just gonna say that our plan should be to move towards the mind. The rest of the temple is dead, if we can do something somewhere, it's over there.

I mean, that Baldwin cutie mark look-alike symbol there wasn't the thing in the mural related to the daggers you were thinking of, was it?
>>
What would happen if we stuck a dagger in a corpse?

Like a severed head?
>>
Where's Celestia in all of this quest?
>>
so
we go to the Mind?
>>
>>6527772
In Equestria. We're still outside the borders for now, I think.
>>
>>6527758

I was wondering that too...

>>6527654

Seriously what is the deal with that goat. We never got any answers to that shit. The closest thing I can manage is that his blood was spilled to trigger the spires that took down the ships, but if so, then who killed him? Why was the blood more fresh, and splattered about in the room below this one? Who put that stone in his mouth?
>>
>>6527830
>goat
Never again
I can complete the quest and live my life without knowing what the deal is with the goat
>>
>>6527758

Further thought on this, a talking skull companion IS pretty much a requisite for a good adventure game...

Anyway it's good to remember that experimentation with the daggers is still an option open to us.
>>
so what are we doing?
going up or going to stab some shit?
>>
>>6527993
But what heads are there that we can use for a companion? There's the goat, but that's not going to do us a lot of good if we can't understand him. We crushed or lava'd everyone else's heads, except for Gaston who's head we never found.
...I just had a mental image of Renne with a Chronicle head hanging from her hip à la Lollipop Chainsaw.
>>
>>6528078

Well, if we stuck a dagger in him, maybe it would be Baldwin's soul that took over the body, not the goat.

Which might be dangerous, but I don't think goats can do magic anyway...?

Who wants to play Dr. Frankenstein?

You tell Saffron that it's finally time you investigate the upper floor. As you ascend, the voices begin to come back, like the trickling of a stream. Before long, it is an ocean of cries and screams. You muster up your wits and press on. The cold feeling from before begins to leave your body, but not the numbness. You stand before what once was the skull door, Saffron wrapping a paw around your shoulder. The entrance of the doorway seems to shift and move, pulsing with the beat of the temple that pounds in your head.

Also, sorry about going to the door if you guys wanted to go elsewhere, but that was the plan when I started. You can always change your Mind.

Boo, that was a terrible pun. Thanks for the session!
Are we on for tommorrow as well?

Yes, things will resume as planned tomorrow, we had a much better turnout today, I'm really happy. Thanks, everyone, so much.

>>6528539
Sorry I wasn't a show last week, IRL stuff came up, which of course comes first.
Thanks for going to the effort of running the thing. See you tommorrow, then!
