You check through your pack one last time as you use the paddle to push out into the water. One bindle of the chilly black silk, one bindle of the weird royal-red silk that felt wet to the touch, despite being dry. They both felt really nice. You look back one last time to the hidden Camp, and wave goodbye...



The grand lake was never truly still. The rain waterfall from the everstorm of Jandoubi created irregular turbulence. You have West's Kayak, an excellent vessel that's easy to use. You depart from the Hidden Shore, and make your way to the Hideout. The first leg of the journey was through the deep waters under the mountain, the most dangerous part.

(Kayaking) 12 - [6]+[6]+[1] = 13 - Failure [By One].
[+2 bonus for West Kayak]



You go in circles for a while, fighting against subtle currents in the dark stone waters. You panic, holding on for dear life when the kayak bobs up and down, until it becomes obvious a half hour later that you're not going to just be dumped out unless you REALLY mess up. Which you nearly did.

It was going to start getting dark pretty soon.


FP: [ 8 / 14 ]
ANXIETY: [ X ][ X ][ 30% ]


After a lot of paddling and stopping, you come to the edge of the mountain and the deep water. It'd be easier from here. You hope. It was reassuring to see the grassland coast far ahead, giving you sign of progress through the uneasily silent journey.

(Kayaking) 12 - [2]+[2]+[1] = 5 - Success!!
[+2 bonus for West Kayak]

As a matter of fact, it gets MUCH easier. The water was shallow, you could keep close to the mountain coast, the storm had less power this far down, the currents were weaker, and you finally had the hang of the kayak's balance. It was kind of fun, even! With your newfound strength, you could gain serious speed, a water sword cleaving the coast to safety. You don't even need to try your hand again on the final third of the journey, making up for the time lost as you slide the kayak into a drift finish onto a tiny grass shore right under the hill that hid the waterfall school. You're exhausted! But you felt good.



FP: [ 6 / 14 ]
ANXIETY: [ X ][ 20% ]


You hurry out and hide the kayak to use later. You climb the hill slow and steady, working over the long distance of bronzy stone with your haul, Camp t-shirt now worn under your dress shirt, a secret testament you just couldn't let go of. If Black Crows always gonna win, then...

You'd be seeing your chicken soon. Gotta feed the baby. At the very least, the nightmare of the last few days was finally ovvvvVVRRRRGGHHH YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE BOAR


ANXIETY: [ X ][ X ][ 30% ]

Sweaty, soaked, sore - you force yourself up the last peak of the hills, taking you over the top of the bisecting school. You could spot your new hideout room from where you crouched, and make a note to seriously map the place out later. You just had to get some rest before darkness came, and tomorrow could be productive. But the boar... is... right there? Right there!! Right in the courtyard, dragged out from the hallway where it was left, but it was a skeleton now it was picked clean now it was STRIPPED BARE-

ANXIETY: [ X ][ X ][ X ][ 40% ]

You have a hand on your gun, and your stomach tenses so hard you stop to flinch. You stalk down to the skeleton with a growl, sweeping the area, sweat stinging your eyes and soaking your neck.

You do this for a good while, getting even more tired until you realize there's no present threat. This happened days ago it looks like, maybe right after you left. The skeleton was gnawed on and had hundreds on little claw marks. It was surrounded with small piles of puke and hair. There- oh. There was something left in the center of the pile, next to the perfectly clean boar skull. A single CrunchCoin, with a piece of gold string tied tightly around it. You pocket the stringcoin, and examine the skull nervously.




...

...KWIAT-












The door to the secret room slams open. You scream her name.










A storm of clucking responds.

You close the door, lock it, bar it, rush to the cage and it was intact they didn't find it she was SAFE-
Chicken was then cage-free and in your arms. You exhale with terrified relief, laughing, overwhelmed, neurons fried and muscles ground down from the nightmare of the last few days. But you were back, and Kwiat was alive. You weren't hurt too badly, you had new gifts, and a cool scar!


ANXIETY: [ 10% ]

You collapse onto your back, allowing Kwiat to walk all over you and your everwarm new cloak, before she roosts on your stomach. You pet her and heave a sigh of relief. You dangle the colorful coin from the string above you, the chicken pecking at it when the waterfall blue light catches off its surface. You were so, so tired... but still so wound up and troubled. You could take Kwiat and go for a walk with the two hours left before night was here. Or just try to trust the Silver Mind to ease you into immediate sleep. Had to make up your mind. While you do so, you wrap Kwiat in the divinely-fine reddest silks you found in the mountain chest. She settles into them with easy chicken regality, looking starvation fabulous in her nest of red.

I’d be cool with spending part of the coin on some nice Hunter-brand cat treats if there are some. It’s not like that boar would have been any good to us for anything more than horrible rotting mental trauma by now - they helped us out a lot by taking it and leaving payment.

Black August

You roll back and forth enough to rock Kwiat. She sticks her wings out for balance, refusing to leave the warmth of your cloak. You sit up and hug her, quickly rearranging your pack to make room for the chicken within a cocoon of black and red silk.

Sword... gun... chibby... you're very tired, but you have the survivor's exhilaration making the last reserves of your energy burn the brightest. Just two hours. Snack run. Way to chill out after a long day at Camp. You take off into the warm evening, passing by the remains of the boar. You stashed the skull in your room; it was really clean, and kind of cool, so why not? You're delirious in the night air as you stiffly jog down the dark paths to reach the fractal convenience store, imagining in your mind you were doing so with the other Black Crows, regaling each other with brags about your best Camp exploits. You speak aloud in a whisper to Kwiat, letting her be the stand-in for the phantoms of your imagination. You're most proud to boast about how good you are at word games. She listens with steady clucking.



Soon, you reach the store. The second you arrive, you receive two quick shocks- the first is from remembering that the store is closed today... the second is that the store appears to be open anyways, lights on, door propped open, no music playing. Was someone here? You felt... something tickling your psychic senses, making you glad the Silver Mind was so dully quiet right now.



You're too tired to think straight, and duck inside despite the uneasy feeling. No music. You approach the currency-conversion machine by the front door, peering over your shoulder as you insert the broken blue gem that Blue paid out to you for winning the match against her. The MC&D-branded machine quickly swallows the gem, processes it, and spits out one more coin. Nice! You can get something for Kwiat and for you. You pocket the coins just as you manage to pick up a distant sound. You duck down and begin to stalk through the aisles, out of sight and away from reflective surfaces. You try to be stealthy as you approach where the noise came from.

(Sneaking Mission) 10 - [1]+[2]+[3] = 6 - Success!



You actually are keeping very quiet, despite your fatigue. Maybe having Kwiat with you makes you extra extra careful, even if lifting your legs takes effort. You peek over some shelves and see- HIM. Deimos! His back is turned to you while he bums through one of the liquor cabinets.

ANXIETY: [ X ][ X ][ 30% ]



He was walking among the shelves, staring at his crystal phone, carrying a bundle of items under his arm. He was pretty far in, which means you could be quick and grab some grub from the front and get out before he saw you. Was there anything good up front?

(Quick Search) Rndm - [2]+[3]+[2] = 7 - Good!

Thanks to the way fractals work, yeah, there was some far-back stuff just around the third aisle by the front left. You rush through and grab what you see, adding it up to two coins. You make sure you grab a huge bag of 'Bugsnax' for Kwiat- it was a colorful bag filled with a bunch of actual insects fried to look and taste like various snackfoods. Burger, strawberry, pizza; you name it.



But for yourself... one quick grab, one quick pay, and you'd be out on your way.

Just caught up, and have to say this is incredible.

It’s not the first time glitches have been used to try alternate pathing, but the results are unprecedented. Not just banishing the spiders of Leng, but doing it at so low a level, and without using Tyranny. Even now, most guides encourage if not outright rely on Tyranny for trying to power level through areas 5+ levels above you.

As far as coin choices go, we can more or less rule out the pebbles. Single stat upgrades can already happen with aggressive rolling of random events in most outdoor areas, and Tyranny (as mentioned earlier) can mitigate the worst results.

While a new sword would be complimented by new sword techniques, getting a new spell this early really opens up the magic system and gives way more options for both combat and exploration.

FAT BATMAN
Dec 12, 2009

I want to vote for a sword technique, because with how treacherous these glitches have proven, we can’t keep hoping to luck ourselves out of hosed situations, and we’re due for some honest hard grinding to survive the challenges yet to come. I keep thinking, there’s no way we can keep getting lucky. But...some utility spells would be great. We’ve done a remarkable job not making enemies of
anyone yet, true, but...
...poo poo, it seems crazy but I guess I talked myself out of a sword technique. It still feels luck-pushing, but I doubt there’s many sword techs that will enable nonlethal solutions if we intend to keep our promise down the road.

Also we should definitely, uh, try to not glitch when it can be avoided. There’s no metric for it but I think every instance is definitely going to make crashes and horrible consequences more frequent. I have a feeling the game can only take so much glitch abuse before it corrupts the save file or something.

and you're out into the night, a Camper's soul sparking in you with the thrill of the getaway

you're out around the back of the store with your prize as though you plucked it from the dragon's nest still breathing hard into your arm to hide the sound, so aware of Kwiat's weight on your back as she anticipates her big bag of sinful snax

You take a deep breath, and wait a moment, listening. Kwiat seems to be aware of your need for her silence, but it doesn't stop her from pecking you and her bag in demand. You quickly set her down, still tied up with just her head poking from the sack in case you need to run. You open the bag of insect snax and position her and it against the wall for her to feed from. She quickly consumes any escaping snackbug, swallowing a burger-like rhinoceros beetle as her first prize. You squat and watch her feed with sleepy satisfaction, dozing off for a second before you wake enough to remember the need to be cautious, and the delicious soda you had. You immediately pop it open, slowing when it starts to let off a piercing hiss from the sheer size of the bottle, bleeding the rest off with your shroud thrown over it.




Oh, what a smell! You start to drink it. Incredible flavor. Cherry vanilla in the way you'd expect an expert bourbon cherry vanilla syrup to taste. It didn't cloy or sting the teeth. It- well it tasted like magic. That was MC&D for you; capable of megaminimarts overflowing with a thousand and one magic item products produced automated with minimal effort for mythic returns. In this case, 'mythic' happens when the concentrated Mana used as the syrup for the soda starts to have a powerful reaction with your enchanted biology. You aren't paying attention to that though.

You feel the magic already starting to coalesce in your mitochondria, channeled there more smoothly by the mutation and mushroom of your neurons, and the midnight divine of your soul. It was changing colour, and becoming a little ritual idea that'd turn into a pattern which would reveal a spell, secret to you.

Blue seemed mostly oriented towards incredibly powerful buffs, which won’t work so well for us. I don’t want to lean into the Tyrant. Right now I think we’re in a good place offensively speaking, especially with the tchoblade, so I’m going to go cyan - healing magic could be very useful given that we have a dependent to watch over in Kwiat.

I went with healing, it should let us lean on the Darkness skillset more without as much long-term consequences. Even if it doesn't heal up THAT much, some is better than nothing. Why go for magic that will probably cost us HP to use when we already don't use the skills that demand HP that much as-is? Plus it may give us something that lets us heal others as well, which could help when dealing with other groups.

Hi.

ANXIETY: [ X ][ 20% ] [Ahhhh]

The little four-legged skittery thing has wandered up to you, meowing loudly, showing zero fear as it climbs into your lap and stares expectantly, purring. You think back to the few briefings you had in your forgotten life.

(!Darkness - Occultism) 14 - [6]+[4]+[4] = 14 - Success.

You shift and cough some more form the soda intake, which has solidified into a lovely cure-blue pattern, tempting your brain to recreate the exact mental state you were in when ingesting the bubblegem pods. The midnight inside doesn't even make you pay blood; it just hands you a mental placard that reads "CATTE = GOOD / ULTHAR = DO NOT PISS OFF"

You-







You reach down and pet the cat.

It mewls again and pushes into your hand. Aware of Kwiat in your pack, you take it off and settle it so your chicky baby is safe while you play with the kitten- it was too tiny to hurt Kwiat, but you were ACUTELY aware of what the cat would do if given a chance. You dig through the bugsnax bag, fishing out a wiggly salmonpede, staring in fascination at the out-of-control snack technology making the union of a bug and a fish dinner possible.

The staring ends when the kitten climbs up and snatches the salmonpede from your hands, crunching and chewing it with happy little sounds. You decide to entertain the kitten some more by pulling out the golden string. It spots the gleam, and starts to loudly meow. You put up your hands to shoosh it, staring nervously around the back of the store, and hand the string over.

It takes and plays with the string, sniffing it intently for a good thirty seconds before it leaps out of your lap, begins a continuous meow, and walks around you in a repeating rapid circle. You begin to get anxious about the noise when the kitten stops and begins to slowly gag and hack. You look at the little thing in concern, especially when its belly distends, followed by its neck; the kitten stretches in uncomfortable ways as it effortlessly regurgitates a...

A big chunk of bone, and a small card bound in hard clear plastic. The kitten makes a show of pushing the goo-soaked case at you with its paw. With trepidation, you use a napkin to wipe the plastic off, pop it open, and look inside. Very nice black paper, with embossed gold print. It reads ~ YOU ARE INVITED ~ on the front. On the back was the Seal of Ulthar.



Event Log posted:

You are now Friendly with The Kingdom of Ulthar.

You look at the kitten, and pocket the card. Ok? Thanks? Not sure where you're invited to or why, but thanks. The kitten rolls around on its back, play-clawing at your pack, sending Kwiat into a frenzy of clucking. You pick the pack up until the kitten is hanging from it, waiting patiently until it drops to the ground. It presses against your leg, doing that weird cat thing where they seize up like something was giving them shocks as it rubs past you.

One more pet, and then the kitten is running off into the night, chasing after something only its sharp eyes could catch. You wander after it for a minute into the dark trees beyond the soccer field, trying to stay out of sight of the mart's entrance in case Deimos was still around. You just had to make it back to the Hideout with an hour left, and you do so taking a circuitous jogged route. You were calmed by the cat encounter but still aware that it was very late, you were VERY tired, and that there was far too many people wandering these dead silent lands. Plus you had a smelly tasty clucking snack fresh in your pack. But you make it back safely the second that deep night crawls its belly over the sky, turning the world monochrome with hate. The rushing waters of the school welcome you back from the risky snackrun, giving you that final burst of energy necessary.
