PirateQuest: Chapter 4.4: Endless Evil Wf+6 No.401471[Last 50 Posts]
Throughout time there are (and thus have been) those who have sought (or had sought) to claim themselves to be (or to have been) impartial observers. The matter of semantics aside, at no point does this actually become true. There is one impartial judge, and takes the stand as the eternal witness. And in the end, it always wins. And so those who play anyway? Well…
Tela, Emrille, and Curry, roll for saves.
Summer, Spring, Light Heart, Borders roll for saves.
Seekkill, Chip: you are in a metal cubic room with a metal door before you. It is closed. It looks unlike other doors you have seen: it slides open sideways instead of swinging in and out.
Felfire: You're still on the ships.

Jettisoned out into the void, you feel the effects begin to set in slowly. You black out for about half a second before you burn every ounce of magic you've got until you've got one hoof tightly gripped around the Curry-shaped hole. You're… on… just… gotta… pull… in…
You also notice something jerking at your leg. You look back for a moment and see Tela gripping you for dear life.
>>401478
After you black out, you feel a huge pulse of magic, and you see Curry jerking non-linearly through non-euclidean space toward (and simultaneously away from) the hole in the ship. He's much too far away for you to reach, so you reach one arm inside your belly and take a hold of his hind leg, and you feel yourself pulled through the fourth dimension. It looks like he has a grip of the window… but you've only got a grip of his leg.
>>401473
The darkness overtakes you and you float away into the void. It is a bad pain. Roll.
>>401474
>>401471
You and Skylight get a grip and drag Sitar into the nearest room door (which is slowly becoming more difficult to open as the cabin depressurizes), but Wark slides toward the window in his heavy armor. He'd probably slide through, but Spring beats him to it, and he uses the brief positioning gap to get a hoofhold below the window frame, locking himself in place.
"WHA AH YA LOOKIN' AT YA WARY ALDERTOAD?"
>>401476
Having bravely stuffed medication into Light Heart's mouth, you have no hoofhold at all and slide flatfooted until you go airborne and fly out the Curry hole into the void.

The door seems safe, but it sounds like there's a ruckus on the other side.

Your vision churns and warps and you suddenly find yourself at high altitude. You're zooming down extremely fast, and your filly wings aren't enough to stop your descent, though you do slow it over time. You burst down through the cloud layer and see ships below.
They get closer… too fast… closer… still too fast! They're upon you! PULL UP! PULL UP!
SPLAT
Goes the sound of water as you miss the ship and plummet into the bay. You reactively gasp and take in a lungful of water. Fuck. Better surface and figure out what the fuck just happened.
>>401484
It sounds like a door sliding open. Wait. Fuck.
Your wings are out and immediately catch the huge depressurizing wind current and fling you into a crowd, and tear you out a pony-shaped hole, past a few hangers-on, into the darkness of the void.
You immediately sense that this place is not right. Save.
>>401487
Most couldn't care less, but some naturally look uneasy around you. Only natural. No one tries to stop you.
>>401488
Skylight drags Wark over to your group. The cabin is now nearly at equalibrium and opening doors will be extremely difficult.
>>401489
You struggle and lose your grip on Curry and begin to float away.
>>401486
You're able to drag Spring to you, but you're too low on juice after that rocket lightshow to get her all the way in. She takes Tela's place grabbing you.
Air is becoming a precious commodity here. Everyone but Emrille and Felfire should roll a constitution save in addition to their action.

You surface miserably, gripping an anchor chain for dear life as you cough up sea water. You feel awful.

You did hear some odd splash. You also find a map!
>>401494
You feel extremely lightheaded. Funny, aren't you supposed to be light heart?
>>401495
Your lungs burst. Looks like overexertion after that burst of magic was not wise. You die incredibly painfully as you shove Spring Water toward the breach. Maybe… that's enough. Did she make it? You think she did… but you have no oxygen in your blood right now.
But you think she's safe. Maybe that's enough. One last act of protection. Now you go to Luna.

You grab onto a glowing Spring Water and hope that's enough as she jets inside.
>>401498
Curry goes limp, and you imitate his rocket magic, burning whatever reserves you've got to get yourself, Tela (now latched onto you), and Curry inside.
It's only once you've made it through the breach that you realize he's dead. Burst lungs. He must have gone out thinking he saved your life, because there's the faintest hint of a smile on his face.

Your mighty scrunch protects you from the lack of air.

The bodies from before have collected at the Curry-hole and stuffed it, preventing further falling out into the void. However, there is now no oxygen in the room and you've already been deprived for some time. Everyone roll for saves in addition to your action. Because equilibrium has been reached, the room begins to warp, and doors will be difficult to open.

You'd be in a bad way if not for being jerked into the safety of the room by Light Heart.
This room is a quiet military-style bunkhouse. It looks suitable for eight bipedal creatures like the corpses in the hall. There is a single end table with a lit lantern and a book on it here. The lantern is sealed with glass, which prevented it from going out when the room decompressed slightly.

Complex Theories
By: Albartus
~~~
Since the beginning of time and space, the universe has kept evolving into a very complex system of interacting elements, from solar systems to microorganisms. We, the observers of time and space, have witnessed every aspect of the universe from every possible angle. For us time and space has no mysteries, no end and no beginning.
It was not always like this. Once we were a race of beings roaming the universe on a search for answers and knowledge, but only found more questions and misery. Eons had passed since the first member of our people realized that there was a deeper structured process behind the common reality we were able to live and see. But to observe this alternate reality was only possible if the observer had no memory of the common reality.
The theory was: once a person was raised and lived in a certain environment, he or she could no longer see the alternate reality because of the doctrine of their own memories and experiences.>>401540
He pauses and puffs a few more times on his cigarette.
"I don't think you have the talent to emulate the harmonic frequency code. If you could get someone else to emulate it, it might be possible."
>>401541
Inside the end table you find a crowbar. That'll make prying doors open easier. You already feel like a physicist.
>>401543
Or so you think. You cough and sputter and nearly spin out as you continue. Your eyes water from all the smoke.
>>401542
When you open your eyes next, you open them to a purple chrysanthemum inches away. Working your way up, you look around. It's dark. You're in some sort of forest grove, but it looks like deeper into the clearing the moonlight gets brighter. There's a vague obstacle barring your passage, but it's too dark and distant to make it out.

That's an interesting philosophical question.

The Mystery of Time and Space
By: Albartus
~~~
Understanding parallels between quantum worlds begins with understanding the joint possibilities at time branches, but this is introductory compared to the latticed structure of multiuniversal freedoms. In other words, keeping to branch formation is an incredibly limiting factor when all possibilities are made possible. Not only is this axiomatically true, but it has proven empirically true in the future when sufficient technology exists to prove the theory. This might beg the question: if proven true beyond all doubt, how does any proposition remain a theory? The answer lies again in the latticed multiuniversal network. If something exists as immutable law in our common perception of the universe, that does not necessarily imply it always proves true. Traveling backwards in time is impossible. This is what has allowed me to travel backwards in time.Light Heart [Warlord] No.402752

You fly to the top with ease. It seems to be a regular tree. If you wanted to make firewood, you wouldn't have to cut it all down: there are many branches.

She gets him up, at least.
You're about to get pretty stoned when Chip jumps in the way to take the blow.
Sitar sings,
"She packed my bags last night, pre-time reset
Zero hour: Nine AM.
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then."
That… sure was something. He flies about high as a kite as he gets smacked out of the way by the troll. You think you hear him yelling about being a rocket stallion.
>>404883
You clip his shoulder, and the bolt skips harmlessly.
He slaps you away. "NOOOOOOO BIRD!"
>>404885
Fervored lovingly helps you bandage yourself. It would be perfect if Magenta wasn't staring at you with a shit-eating grin.
She prods at them. "If you think they'll work, eh, we'll see! Eh heh heh heh heh heh."
>>404886
"Alright then…"
Transaction complete.
>>404887
He takes a drag on his cigarette.
Illusive Guy: "I've been helping you for some seven hundred years now."
There's a key hanging on the wall. You wonder why the unicorn didn't just levitate it over.
>>404882
It smashes brutally in to the stone face of the stone troll.
"GRAHHHH."
>>404889
You slide right in front of the stone troll and fire straight into his face. He groans and flicks your gun, sending it sliding across the room. You're disarmed! Kinda.
Chaos: 4
>>404892
You jump in front of a shit-slapping slap, and take the worst of it, but your adrenaline keeps you up for now. Your return riposte goes unblocked.

"If you have to mix it, it is very important that you don't mix it into anything acidic. Use a base."
>>404915
Skylight does no harm, but she doesn't get him any better either.
You put a sharp piece of metal in its eye, which makes it stomp in rage, before smashing you in response to your other shot going wide. Wark is forced to intervene.
Wark chips away at the base.
>>404912
You scrape your blade across its legs.
Chaos: 6
>>404909
As the trident returns to you, it clashes along the troll's back, chipping away at the stone.
>>404910
You grip the cold stone and wait for the flow of life.
…Where is it? You search and search, and slowly realize you're pouring your own essence into the beast, healing it! You tear away, sickened, as he smashes you away.
"I SAID NO BIRDY!"
>>404914
This is actually just a +1.
You repeatedly strike the stone leg of the troll, cracking it slightly.
Your adrenaline fades, and you suffer the weight of that block.
>>404916
As moonlight slowly surrounds, you, it catches the eye of the troll. Inside his eyes, moonlight is quickly replaced my murder, and he tears after you, giving you a bashing slam smash. It isn't pretty.
>>404918
He looks like he's feeling a lot better, but the troll flicks your horn, making it sting. You're silenced for one turn.

Illusive Guy: "You can't kill the Reapers. Not permanently, anyway. But that's not important. You should try to get the key to the emergency controls while the troll is distracted. Press any of the three colored buttons, which you press doesn't matter. Whatever you do, though, don't make a deal with them. You should end the time loop right now."
>>404929
"Milk of magnesia, baking powder, corn syrup…"
>>404930
You try to dash over to help her, but the troll slams down a fist, cutting you off and shaking you up.
>>404932
He takes a deep breath and expels a huge gust that knocks you back against a wall.
>>404933
"I'll teach you some basic Tartarian…"

Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly, I'm not half the stallion I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly."
The song makes you regret even coming through this relay in the first place…
Negative Inspire.
Wark gets beaten up, bruised, and abused protecting Sitar, but manages to get a couple hits in. The troll is looking unstable…
The troll gives you a half-hearted shit slapping before you shoot him in the other eye. He groans in rage, and lashes out at Rosemary. The interruption causes her to magically shock Chip.
>>404938
You combat roll to your pistol, jerk it up, and get off a couple shots, causing the troll to topple onto its back. The whole station shakes.

>>404960
They are behind some sort of "glass". You call it class because it is a see-through crystalline mineral, but it looks a lot sturdier than glass.
The cloaked Reaper holds up a clawed hand. "Stand back, mortal. These buttons would end the time loop permanently. That is undesirable for all of us. There is an alternative answer. We can reset the time loop from inside of this structure. This would, effectively, double our gains in the suffering of the Reptilians, and save your mortal lives. We just need to kill a foal."

You know that Luna will protect you with all of her power. And so, you stand, once more bravely unto the fight, an inspiration and symbol of courage in this dark and dreary hour.

You are Summer Seas, and you will not give up hope!

Looks like he's feeling too shell-shocked to get up. He's a limp noodle.
"Are you prepared to retreat yet?"
>>410460
You normally wouldn't, but Cheese's urgings help you to your paws.
You can't die here. We can't.

You are emboldened by your faith. In your darkest hour, you remember what's most important: it's not about one petty fight, or your personal aspirations. You know that Luna will protect you with all of her power. And so, you stand, once more bravely unto the fight, an inspiration and symbol of courage in this dark and dreary hour. You are the beam of moonlight the cuts through the oppressive dark! The stars the cut through the clouds at night! The great vine that conquers even the mightiest oak! You are Summer Seas, and you will not give up hope!

"Mortal passing is meaningless and unstoppable. She would have expired in a short period from old age regardless of our intervention. Her death was caused by your foolish failure to retreat from the Stone Troll. Your actions will only result in others you care about dying. You cannot begin to comprehend your own actions, much less ours. Retreat."
As you close, the cloaked one catches your arm.
"Earth magic. Manipulation of minerals to create powerful carapace. Mitigates damage to own hoof, while multiplying it on victim. Useful. Reaping."

He grips your blade with a hand and jerks it away before slashing you.
"Your actions are illogical. Go and live instead of dying here, mortal."
>>410485
You work your way to your paws.
>>410487
He sidesteps. "Your weakness has been pinpointed. Camaraderie weakens your resolve."
He uses an Earthen Strike to punch through the floor, and the room begins to decompress, moving everyone – particularly those still down – toward the hole in the floor.
>>410489
The cloaked one speaks, "I head this vessel and serve Tirek directly."
At least you didn't burn yourself! He uses the downtime to heal himself.

You grab him and you both get flung out into the void.
He speaks calmly, using the rest of the air in his lungs, "I cannot die. You can. Illogical."
He then grips you tighter as you float off into the void.
>>410504
You rebubble yourself, and are jerked out the hole into the void.
>>410507
You charge directly out over the hole and are sucked out into the dark abyss.
>>410508
There's something covering them. If you can get the key or smash it… Yes.
"The red–"
Curry jerks him out of the vessel.
Your heal fails.
>>410510
You go wide and are sucked out into the great dark along with the others.
>>410497
You're up! And out. You fly out into the void.
>>410494
You can't get close enough to Light Heart because she's no longer in the ship.

You get Summer back into the hall.

The Stone Troll's body (remnant) slides over the hole, ending the decompression. No need for more saves.

You try to shoot, but then remember you can't have an explosion without air, which means no firing your weapon. You black out.

You rip out his throat. He gives you a smug look as he bleeds out. You float off into eternity.

It's not quite glass. It's some kind of highly resistant see-through material. But you do smash it repeatedly until cracks start to appear.
The remaining reaper taps you on the 'shoulder'.
"That is a highly ill-advised action. Cease that."
>>410529
You wander off into the ship and get a little bit lost. At least you didn't do something really stupid, like get sucked out a hole.

He seizes both of your guns, disarming you, and fires into you twice at point blank. You're dead by far too wide of a margin to roll to save.

You sob miserably.

You wander through winding corridors and end up in the brig room. The Illusive Guy and his unicorn companion are there.

I'll frown a bit.
"Do not joke about that, Emrille. I have made it quite clear to miss Heart that I would remove the limbs of any pirate foolish enough to think my sister an easy conquest. No matter who they might be."
I'll shrug slightly.
"Fine. How about this: Should I lose any such wager, fairly and without interference, then I would forfeit a percentage of my earnings from any mission the commodore sees fit to put me on to you."
I'll pause for a moment.
"There are, of course, conditions. Namely you cannot bet me to do something that I find morally repugnant, or impossible to do."

I'll sit down for a minute.
"After a time I'd likely try to find someone the same way my teacher found me. If they wanted to stay, and not be reunited with family, of course. I wouldn't forcibly tear a child from their family, after all…"
