Your mom has interrupted valuable quiet time. You shout back,"What?"

"Take this greeting basket to the neighbor's house."

She seems to not understand how this works, "Aren't we supposed to get welcome baskets?"

"I'm just trying to be friendly!"

"Then why don't you take the basket?"

Your mom shouts back, "Because I'm busy unpacking and you're not doing anything!"

"Can't you do it later?"

"Have you decided to finally help unpack?"

"No"

"Then no. Stop being such a lazybutt and go."

do it you lazy butt

Consider the matter carefully. Which is less work? Walking all the way to the neighbor's, or dumping out a few boxes?

Dress and do it!

Make a noncommittal noise that might possibly be misunderstood as acceptance, and then flop right back down on your lazy butt.

Get up and do it. The our neighbors might be interesting.

Mom probably meant left, down the path, but with how much nagging she's been doing, let's be literal here. Turn right as you come through the front door, head up that flower covered bluff. If you don't see any signs of another house, give up, and tell mom nobody was home.

Why are you considering climbing some dumb tree? Get a move on and deliver this basket. The sooner you do, the sooner you can get back home and help your... mother... unpack... Hmmm... Actually, climb that tree and see what's what up there.

It's probably too late to fix it now, but maybe you should have thrown on something more substantial than a bikini. For all you know, the neighbors are huge prudes and will be massively offended with your low level of clothing.

Wow, you outran squirrels. That's kind of impressive.

>>486111
Okay, that's too cool not to check out. The neighbors can wait a little longer.

Take a quick peek inside that temple.

Maybe check out the big dark abandoned place in the woods AFTER you have dealt with the basket and the new neighbors. I mean what if there's more stuff in there ready to scamper off with it? And maybe if you ask them about the ruins in the woods, they will tell you something about them! Like, that is where the picnic basket stealing squirrels live.

Oh, just make sure to keep a death grip on the basket is all.

Go deliver that basket to the neighbors, and then you can come back and explore the ruins. It's not like the ruins are going to go anywhere, and you really shouldn't go in there equipped with only a bikini and a basket of goodies.

Maybe your neighbors live in here! Or not. Either way, let's explore!

You go into the ruins.

Better grab that torch and nifty curvy sword.

It's dangerous to go alone!

Cool. Amazon warrior statues. They holding real weapons?

Down the stairs, take a right.

Quickly! Grab all the loot! After all, you're not an adventurer unless you do so! Besides, having lots of choices would make you best prepared for whatever comes across. Just makes sure the weight its evenly distrubuted and the way you're carrying them isn't too cumbersome.

Ask the nice stone ladies first if they'd mind you having their weapons.

On second thought maybe we should deliver the basket first.

take bow and spear.

>>486374
don't take any weapons.
1) they aren't yours.
2) There's no signs of any danger on this whole island besides squirrels.
3) they're old, dirty, and probably just decorative. dead weight, in other words.
4) Fictional Media taught me that this kind of thing is a trap trigger.

Plus, tetanus. Those things are rusty as heck. What you really should do is go deliver the basket, go home, grab a camera, maybe some slightly more adventure-appropriate clothes and then come back to gawk at everything in sight.

The swords look too rusty to be useful, and I don't think you have a way to light a torch. Try the first door on the right.

take torch.

who cares if it's rusty? it looks badass and will definitely fetch a pretty penny as antiques. grab the torch and curvy sword and everything else you can.

Yeah. deliver basket, report home, then explore neat ruins.

You also take the torch, using the statue's bent arm to hold your basket.

Oh man, taking ancient artifacts and swinging them around. You're a real archaeologist now! Let's go exploring down the hall.

The statues' got some big noses.

They look pretty tasty.

No eating fruit you do not recognize!

For all you know they're poisonous (although that's less likely with that coloration) or they'll make you sick to your stomach. You just left home- you're not so desperate you need to take stupid risks, yet.

Check out the (poorly) hidden compartments in front of the statue. (One in the floor, one on the statue's base).

When we're ready to leave this room, there appears to be another door to the South (in the wall the statue is facing).

You aren't absolutely familiar with these specific berries, but they look like raspberries.

eat one and give it a moment to see if it makes you feel ill. if not then eat more.

Try one of each color to determine which ones are ripe. Just remember that bitter taste usually means its poisonous.

Don't eat the unidentified berries. Just take some home with you, maybe your mom would know what they are.

>>487118

Taste the tiniest bit out of one of those raspberries. Remember the mnemonic:

"Nice and sweet, good to eat."

>They look pretty tasty

yeah, I'm sure Christopher McCandless thought the same thing before he died of poisoning. take some with you if you want, but don't eat any before you get them identified.

check out them little buttons on the statue, but be careful not to stand on the obvious trapdoor while you do so.

Still think eating strange fruit isn't the best idea. I'd recommend pocketing them for later (when you'd either checked, or might be more willing to risk it) but uh, your current outfit is somewhat short on pockets.

>>487126
So antifreeze is healthy

Gather a few, we'll ask our neighbor about them. Now check out those knobs, maybe the statue will give us the BEST SWORD. Oh and search for it's head, leaving it in pieces is criminal.

Despite some heavy last second thinking that started after the update was already being drawn, you try out the the bluest of the berries.

It is sweet and juicy. And seems to have no side effects after a couple minutes of waiting.

You finish off the berry and consider gathering more, but don't know how to carry them on top of your rusty curved sword and ancient torch.

You do figure, however, that you could use your beach scarf as an impromptu carrying case if need be, but would still need a way to carry that.

Unless you can think of a hands free way to carry things, or decide to stop carrying around one of your items, you'll have to, unfortunately, leave the berries for now.

>>487147
That'll be fine, we can always snack on the way out

>>487147
You have two bra's you know. Not that these berries are important.

Well, you can double back for berries. Or if you wanted to fill your beach scarf with them, you could always tie it to your bikini strings?

They're really not important though. They're a nice snack, but these ruins are much more interesting.

>>487147
Just leave 'em. Check out that statue. Are those four things on the front dials?

Girl, this is why God made vaginas.

>>487189

you must be a very troubled person if that's what you think they're for.

use your CLVG.

remove one bikini and fashion it into a carrying device!

They aren't going anywhere. You could fill your basket with berries but you might as well do that some other time. Now that you know they're here you can come back for them whenever.

Now examine the curtain rods; they're awfully shiny. It's probably just brass but that's still a handy think to keep in mind in case you need to hang curtains.

Might as well just snack on some more berries right now. Gotta keep your energy up! Then maybe climb up that statue and take a look at the stuff growing on the shoulder and that sword's pommel.

You look at the things at the base of the statue.

There are four rusted cylinders in the base, the 1st, 2nd, and 4th have swords lodged in them at various rotations, the 3rd, has hole shaped to fit a sword, with something broken off inside, filling up the hole.

There's a panel in the middle that's slightly ajar

4 rusted cylinders? Maybe this is a completed puzzle. Those are old keys that were used to open the panel a long time ago.

Anything inside the panel?

test stability of lopsided tile before standing on it.

You try pulling the raised corner up and lightly putting some weight on the 4 corners.

It wibble-wobbles back and forth from its current position to flush with the ground. Without putting some real weight into it, you aren't able to make it tilt more that it currently is, assuming, of course, that it's actually capable to tilting further.

Are you willing to stand on the loose tile while checking out the panel?

Grab that metal rod from the right and place it across the loose tile, then check out the panel.

>>487362

Take the metal rod, place it across the loose tile, and straddle it while messing with the sword keys.

Just in case it falls away, we have a small chance to avoid a deadly trap.

see that huge rock on the ground? bash the panel with it. it seems like that's the least valuable heavy object.

You consider throwing the the statue head at the tile, but it's like, 500 lbs. So instead you roll the fallen banner rod over and place it across the tile. Then, keeping the banner rod underneath you, you step on to the tile.

Your fall has ended after about one foot of dropping and with you on your butt.

>>487636

everything went better than expected.

>>487636
Wht's down the pit?

Check out that probably looted alcove... and then see if you can't get to the gold and jewel pommel on the stone sword and loot that instead.

Huh. Who builds a tiled floor elevated by a foot?

I don't suppose the collapse revealed anything interesting underneath?

>>487633
Haha, wow. Lotta blue in that berry, wasn't there.

check out that alcove.

then climb the statue and loot the gem out of that sword hilt.

Well, that could have gone a bit better. Could also have gone a whole heck of a lot worse. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and take a peek inside the alcove in the statue base. Once you've confirmed that its been long looted, climb up and try pulling the gem and metal bit from the statue's sword's pommel.

Yanno, considering the panel only fell a foot, it might have been a pressure plate for some long since broken mechanism. Or it could be that something is blocking it from falling down the shaft its over. Best not to linger, lest it's the latter and whatever is holding the slab up is about to break.

Realize that your mouth is stained blue and hope it's not permanent.

Inside there's what looks to be a blue lens.

>>487694

ack ack ack ack ack squish that spider with the pole! Quickly!

and a spider. Brush the spider away with your sword. Then take the lens. Place spider back into alcove so it can care for its children when they hatch. Or eat them. Depends on the spider and how much prey comes by. Careful of those holes to the side, might be another trap.

No, no, no! Don't hurt the spider! She isn't doing anything to you.

Just use the sword to sort of reach in and depress that button. (Or if that's not a button, and it's a thing, you can sort of pick it up with the blade and take it out).

Use the sword to carefully extract the lens without touching the spider or putting your hand in the alcove.

>>487693
At this point I'd go NOPE NOPE NOPE and flee this acursed place before we're trapped here for hours.

>>487697
Yet. We reach our hand in there carelessly and she might. Also could be trapped. I say we brush aside the spider, slide the sword under the lens to hold down what its sitting on then reach in for the lens and remove the sword after that.

...Uh. Yeah, that's a big spider in there. Better keep as far from it as you can, in case it's poisonous or something. 'Cause you are going to have to disturb it to get that blue lens-y thing, and it's not going to be happy about it.

Get that rusty curvy sword, slowly slide it in on the bottom right of the alcove. That'll push the lens-y thing to the left and into the curve of the sword and against the side of the alcove. Then all you have to do is pull it towards you until it's just over the edge, move the sword away, and snatch it up.

i would just like to state that NO ONE KNOWS YOU'RE DOWN HERE IF YOU GET STUCK YOU WILL DIE OF THIRST AFTER A FEW VERY BORING DAYS.

Don't hurt the spider. Just slowly stick something long and hook-like in there to grab the lens.

Maybe your sword?

Carefully kill spider with rusted weapon.

Obtain lens.

Oh yeah there is also a massive spider in there.

You make the reasonable decision to just use your sword to take the lens and leave the totally harmless yet unusually large spider be.

You lower the panel door when you're done.

What do you see when you look through the lens?

LOOT GET! Nice! ...Now what?

Take a closer look at the lens and the shape of its mount so you'll get some idea where it goes; Does it look like it'll fit on the pommel of the statue's sword? Also, look through the lens to see if there's anything odd about it.

>>487741
Look around at the room through the lens.

store lens in cleavage, retrieve torch, and go explore more ruins.

look through lens

>>487741
you clearly need an inventory. go get that pole and rags off the wall and construct a bindle to carry around your soon to be accumulated detritus.

>>487694
Don't kill spiders if you can help it, VERY bad luck. Also, spiders have Death Curses, I think.

Use a stick to either grab that lense, or scare the spider away.

look through it. then store it in your bras.

You aren't quite sure how to take out the bronze ring, but the red lens inside easily comes out.

Combine red and blue lenses- view the world in magnificent purple.

Hmm examine that thing in front of you. Can it move?

Oh look. A locked door, mirrors, light beams. And you're carrying lenses. I smell a puzzle!

Can you adjust the mirror thing by you in order to shine the light on the disc above the closed door at the opposite end of the hall?

Well that's disappointing. You wonder how many of these lenses there even are.

>try both red and blue at the same time
You aren't sure how that would even work. There isn't a place to put two lenses, and they both bend the light.

Hmm. It doesn't look like the lenses would overlap to make the right glyph even if you could use both. Are there any other rooms you could check?

Are the glyphs actually visible on the lenses themselves, or do they only appear in the window?

>>488571
go for a swim! don't worry about not being able to get back to the surface because of underwater currents or not being able to climb back up using wet moss! who cares about safety or staying alive!

>You wonder how many of these lenses there even are.
Well, two would have been a possibility (bifurcation- red and blue). But now we suspect there's at least third somewhere for the glyph you're missing. There might only be 3 (primary colors, kind of fitting for lenses) but heck, who knows?

Hop over the pit, and check if that door is really locked. If it is, leave the lenses here, collect your sword and torch again, and backtrack to the first room (with the three statues) and take the other path.

we probably need to match the glyph on the door. so we need another lens. go back where you found the statues with the weapons and enter the door you didn't enter.

You check the door. You try pushing it, nothing. You can't lift it either.

>Are there other rooms you could check?
Well, there's that doorway, right there, in the middle of the hallway. You think you might be able to squeeze through past the tree.

There's also the hole in the ground, with intertwined vines thicker than your arms dangling down it, and a slow moving river at the bottom.

Oh, and there's that doorway at the end of the entrance.

Where would you like to go?

Trying to sequence break via the hole in the floor is cheating! And probably the most dangerous route.

Let's check the other doorway off the entrance. Grab the torch and sword as you go by, leave the lenses here.

well if you can go through the overgrown door, do it. otherwise the doorway at the entrance because rivers are dangerous and have lethal carp.

Your neighbors live in the most infuriating house. Are you sure your neighbors aren't Umbrella Corporation?

Hallway door!

Guess we should look for more lenses then.

Deposit these lenses in your basket in the entrance and head to a new area.

>>488599

Through the stone head door in the entrance, that is.

Didn't you say the sword you picked up rattled? Check the weapons!

>>488579
There must be a third lens that creates the right glyph. I know there was another door off of the main entrance room, but for now just try squeezing past the tree.

You head back to the entrance to check out the weapons and go through the other door

The other sword's blade is even more jagged than the curvy sword's. At least it was easier to take out.

The bow is less a bow and more a long curvy stick with a short string at the end.

The Spear's head is as bad as the other weapons, but it's got a rotten shaft.

The shield's overgrown with moss and the wood is rotten, but the bronze ring around it is fine if tarnished.

If that's it, you were going to take your curvy sword and torch through the door on the left end of the hall. Is this still correct?

Use the jagged sword to cut through! It'll be more like a saw.

Any idea how long you've been in here? The sun's moved slightly- it's not lighting up that gap in the trees the way it was when you came in.

>you were going to take your curvy sword and torch through the door on the left end of the hall. Is this still correct?
Yes, do that.

You might as well put the other sword back where you found it.

yes.

>>488703
Oh hey, I think this room requires the red lens. Let's go through the overgrown door first before doing that though, since we can bring the red lens here on the way back from that room.

That's the glyph from the red lens.

Put down the torch, and double back and retrieve the red lens.

Grab the basket, stupid. Then put the torch in the basket until you need it.

and once you put it in, get ready to dodge.

There's a grinding noise and a loud thud.

The left door is now open

test if removing it closes the door. if it does leave the lens in. then go left.

Sweet. You are officially an ancient puzzle solver now.

You get the blue lens and go through the left door.

Are those two more doors to either side of the one you came through? Do they open (or disintegrate when pushed)? Are those more lenses all over the dome?

Check the statue's nose to see if there's anything hidden inside, then see what's down the stairs.

>>488808

That's a lot of mirrors.

Use the light to reflect the blue lens into one of those mirrors, and let's see what happens.

Huh. Looks like there are other ways into this room. I don't think either of those doors have the blue glyph on them, though.

Poke around, then proceed down the stairs.

The door to her right looks like the first lens door we found. (based on the symbol) The one on her left looks like it's covered in rubble or cracked. Check inside the big face if you can.

>Are those two more doors to either side of the one you came through?
Yes

>I don't think either of those doors have the blue glyph on them, though.
The cracked door on the right does.

>Do they open (or disintegrate when pushed)?
No

>Are those more lenses all over the dome?
Those are mirrors. the two other doors have lenses over them, but the dome itself has mirrors all over.

>Check the statue's nose to see if there's anything hidden inside.
It's just statue. There's another one of the other side, neither have anything hiding under the nose.

>then see what's down the stairs.
It's a very long spiral staircase, with mirrors along the sides. You can't see the bottom because it gets too dark to see.

>The cracked door on the right [has the blue glyph].
Ah, hard to tell through the cracks.

>mirrors, lens
Hey... maybe when the light comes through those lenses into this room it bounces off the mirrors and does something? (Like light up the bottom). Maybe we should backtrack, and try the room blocked by vines?

>>488812

Still want to do this.

How fragile is the cracked door? If we could reach the other side without having to hack through vines it'd be ideal.

You aren't quite sure how to use the lens to reflect light.

It's still very thick and stone.

Lets go hack through some vines then.

>>488828
Agreed, check behind the vine blocked door.

Hmm, how about lighting the torch with the focused sunlight from the next room and then coming in here to use the torch to cast light on the mirrors?
If that doesn't work at least you have a torch for the stairs.
(hopefully that focused light is strong enough)

>>488827
Let's go back and see if we can put the blue lens in its proper place. Maybe find the last lens too. I have a feeling that the mirrors on the walls reflect the colored light all the way down the stairwell, and the red light is already down there.

And is that a cave or tunnel that leads somewhere under the tree?

there appears to be some sort of creature in the base of that tree.
hopefully its just an ordinary animal. Even if its dangerous, animal behavior is a bit easier to understand than something sentient.

>>488857
I think to retrieve the lens, we'll have to find another lens or lens like object, otherwise we'll probably spring a trap, unless of course you got a string, then we can pull it from a distance.

Grab the lens, then action-dawson your way back through the door.

Oh, goodness. I thought maybe that little black thing I saw was a cat's head. Not the snout of a wild boar!

Get on the other side of the pilar, snatch the lens.

fuck it's shit with the sword.

Hold the sword high above your head, stand tall, look big, and scream.

Actually, wait, this is its burrow. Kind of a bad situation. Can you climb over that wall to the left? Grab the lens and hop the wall.

Giant boar! Run away!

>>488911

Boars are rather notorious for killing people who are sure they've dealt them a killing blow. Plus attempting to do so would just be rude! Barging on in to where something sleeps and murdering it because you're scared.

Getting away from it is probably a good idea though. Climbing is not a typical boar talent so, climbing up to the left there would be wise.

>>488915
Yeah, there're good reasons why boar hunting was done way back when with special spears with crossbars to keep the boar away while impaling it. All you have is a rusty sword.

Agreed on taking the prudent (and climby) route.

The boar doesn't seem to be able to reach you here. What now?

darnit, we still need that lens. Hmm. Whats on the other side of that wall?

>>488967
Look around a bit from where you are atop the wall. We might have to just get out of the boar's line of sight for a while until it calms down, then sneak over and steal the lens.

start throwing things at it. like little pieces of rubble and pebbles. if that doesn't work, do a jump slash.

Survey new situation, don't do anything stupid like attacking the boar.

Squeeze through the opening you're right next to, the boar isn't going to lose interest any time soon.

The top of the wall is crumbling... if you think it would hold your weight, you could go over to that part that looks like it's almost ready to fall out, attract the boar over to the base of the wall, then drop a big chunk of wall on it. Even if it survives, it should either be stunned or have enough broken limbs to be less of a threat.

lean over and hack at it wit the sword from up there.

Go back and grab some more of the berries to feed to the boar, and grab the lens while it's distracted.

Toss one at the boar, see if he eats it.

Taste it.

You know what would be perfect? Finding fermented berries. Get that boar drunk.

>>489132
Toss some to the boar, then watch and see if it starts acting weird.

toss a hugful of them at the boar.

Experimenting on the boar is definitely the right idea here. If it doesn't do anything, you've found food, and if it does, you've solved the problem.

Okay... so is that working? Is the boar distracted at all?

Also, you're outside again. Can you tell how long we've been at this? It may be necessary to take a break from temple exploration to go deliver the basket if it's getting late.

Check on the boar. If hes still after you instead of distracted by the berries try to get him stuck in that rock filled doorway by taunting him.

fuck it, explore your side of the wall. maybe start by following the stream.

It takes a while, but eventually, the boar goes to eat some of the berries.

throw some more fruit so near or even inside his burrow to keep that boar distracted. Then sneak up to that lens and grab it.

Finally book it back over the wall and walk around to the front of the temple to try out the lens in that first receptacle.

Sneakily sneak over to yoink the lens. Then we should go back around to the front entrance to avoid the boar.

Sneaky sneak, yoink the lens, and then back over the wall or through the door- whichever gets you away from the angry board faster.

You can get back to the room where we want to test this lens by going through the building, or going around and coming in the front anyways.

yes yoink that lens
