So…

Quick question:

Who are you guys, anyway?
>>

Okay! So! Sorry for taking so long. Had a lot of work to do. And I had to repost this like three fucking times because my computer is shit. Also, i might have accidentally deleted someone's suggestion. SSO SORRY!

This is my first quest so Im sorry for all the mistakes i will make!

Fucked if we know. We've been called a lot of things, whispering wind spirits, hidden mind voices, the whispers from beyond, schizophrenia, take your pick. Hell there was one time in which we were part of an orb of infinite psyche. Honestly, we kinda just exist to help out adventurers and the odd passersby (and some of us can be a little naughty at time, hint hint wink wink).

We're called a lot of things, but thw general gist of it is that we're a gestalt of voices that are here because you have the potential to be very interesting. Most folks who hear us go on to do incredible things. We can help advise you, see things from an angle you can't, and in general act as a sort of advisory committee.

We can also be pervs from time to time and/or suggest you do certain things out of aheer curiosity.

Look, you spend millenia giving advice to countless other beings without any ability to experience it yourself, you lose track of certain things. Like consistent morals.

Like sanity. Sanity's a big one.

No. 787994 ID: 8d4593

Oh. You realize we are not your own thoughts.

The answer is complicated and the implications have driven greater creatures than yourself to insanity.

Just know for now that we are on your side.

Do somthing great, and when our time together runs short ask us again. The truth will surprise you.

Oh! I guess I never properly introduced myself.

My name is Loomr. I am pretty sure that I am a boy. And I have no idea how old I am.

>>787994
To be honest, I don’t really care what you guys are. You guys helped me out and don’t seem to be an immediate threat, so that’s enough for me.

But you guys sound pretty cool! Like, You’re a bunch of voices that follow like heroes and adventurers and stuff? That’s pretty neat!

I guess I should read these now. I mean, they’re right here. They might have something useful to say.

I… uh…

I’m kind of scared.

I’m… I’m just one… person. I don’t think… I don’t think I want to do this.

Can’t I just go back and hide the room? I mean, it’s gotta be safer in there than out here.

No. 788001 ID: 398fe1

No. The note explicitly said not to stay in one place for long. Remaining here is more dangerous than exploring.

Go check out the other cells. Bring the bucket so you can get up to see through the bars.
>>
No. 788002 ID: ba506f

well like bob here said >>788001
I think you should grab your bucket and check out the other near by cells and see who's inside them if anyone. Maybe you can find some physical friends to help you out. Or at least someone taller to reach stuff on the top shelf.

You want to stay in a cell and starve to death? How long do you think it would take to someone else find you hiding in a corner?
Face it, whatever danger that lurks in the paths ahead of you will find you sooner or later, so it's better to venture into the unknown and find out what you are dealing with.
What is this "Darkness"? Who is this "G"? And who were you? Those are questions that need to be answer.

Okay then. I unlock the door using the key with three teeth.

On the back of the first page, there is an old hand-drawn picture of a guy making a silly face.

The name Relt I. H. is written below it, making me believe that this is a picture of the author.

He doesn’t seem very professional at all. But that little smile puts me at ease in a way. It’s almost contagious and makes the corners of my mouth twitch.

On the second page, the first chapter begins.

“You just threatened to eat my flesh! A-and my… p-penis! I also just got done reading a bunch of notes about buried evils! How can I be sure that I can trust you?”

“Well… there’s some l-eye detecting spells in that book there. You can tr-eye some of them on me if you feel so incl-eye-ned.”

Should I try looking for some spells? My Soul Level is not very high I think… I might only be able to learn two other spells.

Then again, is this… Oculoblin even worth saving? He might be. I… kinda want to believe him. I don’t think I wanna travel through here alone.

What do you guys think?

Might be nice to not be alone. Besides us that is.

>Lie detecting spells.
Those will help you decide if you want to take him with you.

Well you're probably gonna find others. The lie-detection spell will come in handy more than once, I'd say. On the other hand if you load up with combat spells it won't matter as much if someone lies to you. Are there any combat spells in the book?

I don’t want to travel around here on my lonesome. I’ll risk it.

“Okay. I’ll be honest, I want to trust you, so I’ll have to use one of those spells you mentioned.”

“It’s cool, dude. I’ll wait right here. I suggest Spell 25. Very helpful for quick thought readings. Allows the caster to make a quick read of the target’s surface thoughts and their current intentions.”

“Don’t try to help me. I still don’t trust you. How do I know that you didn’t somehow booby trap that spell or something?”

“Heh. Kid, listen, there’s no way ANYONE could mess with that book. Last time I tried destroying that annoying thing, it somehow replaced itself with one of my ears.”

The “Oculoblin” holds one of his ears which is considerably shorter than the other.

“Still hurts every now and then.”

Huh. now that I think about it, I feel a strong, protective aura surrounding the book. I guess it has been enchanted to protect it from harm? But what’s the point in that? It’s just a spell book, I’m sure it could have been easily replaced.

But whatever.

I flip through the pages and find the spell the little eyeball goblin was talking about.

Oh hey! This is one of those runecodes! They were made to help people learn simple spells much quicker without having to study the processes. Efficiency at its finest.

I can feel a deep magick pulsing through the symbol.

Weird… How do I remember that? Ugh. Having these blank spots in my memory is kind of frustrating.

I guess I just gotta… stare at it-

*BZZZZZZZZZZ*

Uh. That doesn’t sound very-

“...Did… did you just use the runecode?” Dolda asks in an incredulous tone.

“..I… I think so?... I can’t see anything. Everything is white.”

My eyes and my head hurt. A lot.

“Uh yeah. That’ll happen. Didn’t expect you to actually use it. There IS a reason they were made illegal, you know. Don’t know why that one still has one, though.”

Oh yeah. I forgot about that. I remember now.

Ow.

I’m not going to use another thing like that ever again.
