Do you know what your name is?

Okay then keep your left eye shut. That'll probably be best. Also try to get your feet under yourself and stand up a bit. Get your weight off your wrists. What can you see in the room you're in?

>>124690
You look a real mess.. remember anything? A name... gender.. age?

Check to make sure you weren't... uhh taken advantage of. I'm trying to be polite here.

I think I see your missing eye.

It needs to be reattached. Hopefully.

There's a knife and some blood and... something you don't need to worry about right now. For the moment you need to recover your senses, take a few deep breaths and reorient yourself. How exactly are your hands tied?

... Err, the rope binding my wrists goes into two holes through the wall behind me. It feels like something's pulling me from behind it, but not enough to actually push me up against the wall.

Can you reach the rope and nails with your teeth? You might be able to chew through the rope and pull out the nail. But it'll hurt. Also I suppose we need something to call you. How's the name 'Janus' strike you?

Try the teeth plan...

Carefully swivel one arm on its nail, reach up, and pry the other one's nail out with your teeth.

I struggle, but I reach the ropes. I cut one of them... There it goes! But there's still another one...

... Okay, I got both of them.

Try to sneak around that corner and grab that knife.

Embrace the pain. Make it your own. It is what tells you that you are truly alive. Pain is power.

On a more relevant note, you got the nails out too? Impressive. Move over and take the knife, then take a moment to recover. Tell us about your surroundings.

Oh, jesus shitfuck someone has it out for you. I am certain they plan on killing you. If they wanted to keep you they would not have injured you like this.

I only cut the ropes off. The nails are still intact. I don't feel like pulling them out; I don't have anything to bandage the open wounds.

I... I guess I'll keep them on until I find some bandages.

I grab the knife. It seems to be fairly new, save for the fresh blood stains over it.

So the nails weren't nailed into anything? If they we set into the wall, I imagine that would've been tough to pull them away. Anyway, stop looking at your hands. They look fine (oddly enough). So take a load off for a moment and study your surroundings. How many doors? Windows? Other useful bits?

They're nailed through my fucking wrists, that's what.

... This room does not have any windows. The walls are made of stone. It seems that I'm underground.

I haven't checked past the single opening of this room. That, and the holes behind me that seem to go to another room.

They didn't lock the door? : |

If they are too dumb to properly restrain a Sergal then they deserve a knife in the gut.

Go forth and let the stabbings commence. Stealth is key.

Well the point of nails is to Connect Object A to object B, like a portrait to a wall. But to just put it through your wrists... well we may be dealing with a sadist. By the way, hungry much? You kind of should be. Also examine the holes first, carefully, and then the door if there's nothing more of interest in the room itself.

I agree, check the holes. If there's nothing of interest, proceed through the [insert building type] and stab everything that looks like a douche bag.

We can check through the peephole, or just go straight to the route and turn right.

Mhm, a rat. I'm so hungry right now...

Chase it down and eat it.

Well, lacking the ability to catch the mouse, you'll definitely want to check out the peephole, though it looks more like an observation window than a HOLE... but of course be cautious at first. There may be something inside to observe YOU.

Check the peephole.

Can't tell if it's the same rat, but it's a tail of one.

Seems it got squished by this stone. Doesn't look like this fell down or something; it would've had cracks, otherwise.

Well that suggests traps. And, oddly enough, there's no clear indicator where the thing that crushed the rock came from. No indentation in the wall or the ceiling. Anyway, proceed carefully, eat rat-tail if you must, but beware of any sort of anomaly

>>124856
Look at the splatter, the stone slid out horizontaly from the wall, you twit. It's a crippling trap.

Use the knife to remove your pinkies and any surplus teeth.
Then commit suicide for being an abomination before Rain.

i get it. the left eye was tooked out because going left is easier. the traps come from left and thus we fail to see it.

I look at my left. There is a spot that seems... out of place. I guess just going under it will not activate the trap? I don't know what the rat triggered that caused the stone to move, anyway.

Wave a hand in front of it. If it fails to trigger, just duck beneath it and go past. continue looking out for such things.

>>125170
It's probably activated by moving between it and the wall, so that it wouldn't trigger unless something's there to SMASH (like your head). So, ducking under it would not activate it.

>>125170
I don't like this. It's too easy. Uuh... go slowly and cautiously. Rush back if you hear any stranger noises.

Um, don't wave a hand in front of it. That thing could shoot out extremely fast and you don't want to lose the hand.

The low trap reset itself. Grab the crushed rat by the tail and yank it away so you can eat it.

>>125218
The stones retract back into the walls. Take it slowly and methodically down the hallway. Make sure that you check the roof, the walls and the floor before you move forward and then to it again after a few steps.

Don't. Move. I think the first trap, the one that got the rat, withdrew. Which means it's probably rearmed and will GET YOU if you move forward. I know it's a bit difficult to be perceptive with one eye, but you've got to make due. When you feel you've got a good idea of your surroundings, step over the first trap, but beware because I think there's another one, mid-level, on the right, coming up.

My lower body and limbs don't seem to be hurt. I can make this jump.

You know, on second thought it'd be a better idea to retrieve the rat tail and then drop it in the trap's path to re-trigger it. That way there's no chance you stumble or otherwise fail your Jump Check.

Looks like another trap on the wall, there.

Do cameras exist in this day and age? Most people would want to watch their victims suffer. Not many are content with simply knowing a victim is suffering. They want to see it and feel it and hear it. They are watching you somehow. Yes, you are their entertainment. But something will go horribly wrong and you will escape beyond their grasp and then you will seek them out and kill them. The important part is being alive and unhurt enough to kill them when you get there. Rule number 1: Don't get hurt.

Terrible afterthought: you might need to get your former eyeball to use as a trap triggering device.

That mousehole back there is possibly trapped with a guillotine device. It still might contain something useful if you can bypass the maybe trap.

Cute some bandages from the sheets. They might not exactly be clean but hey you have possibly rusty and dirty nails still embeded in your arms so I don't think infections are a primary concern right now.

Also twist some of the sheet into a rope with a knot in the middle. Use it as an improvised garrote. One can never have to many weapons, atleast not when you're trapped in a dungeon owned by a sadist who likes to gouge out the eyes of little kids.

Hmmm check the last drawer then. If you're lucky you might be able to remove it entirely and get to the next drawer without having to unlock it.

I open the top drawer.

Something gaseous comes out.

>>126471
Don't breath it!

>>126471
Get out of the room, fast.

>>126471
Hmmm looks like it was trapped. Get out of the room and wait for the smoke gas to dissipate. Trapped stuff is usually important stuff.

My breathing suddenly became heavier!

I cover my nose out and run for the door.

Gah! I close the door in hopes of containing the gas in. This won't hold for a long time. If we're checking the other room, we can only do so much before the gas leaks out of the room and into the other.

Should we go ahead, anyway?

>>126482
Yeah.

Check for traps. Examine books without moving them. Poke books. Pick up books. Read books. Break a leg off the table to use as a club.

>>130218
Check out that picture.

>>130218
Well since we can't stay here for long... Look at the picture then just grab everything and retreat to a safe place to read the books.

Also check out all the walls.

> Break off one of the legs of the table

I'm still in pain. I can't risk exerting any moderate force without hurting myself.

> Check for traps

... And how do you suppose I should do that?

> Grab everything

I can only grab two more items. I'm already holding a lot of stuff.

Gather everything in a big pile on the floor and set it out so we can see it all (it's called an inventory screen). Do a quick scan of each of the books to get the general idea of what they contain.

Is there anything of significance to the left or right, or are they just blank walls?

I check the walls around me. Nothing seems to be of importance.

>>130231

I lay the items down. What I have are two NAILS, two pieces of ROPE, an improvised GARROTE, a KNIFE and a SCROLL.

I don't have time to inspect the picture frame, but I can see two guys in it. Their faces are ripped off the picture.

One of the books is in poor condition. Looks like someone's been scratching the cover. The other says "Spells" by a certain "Gezzono". The last one is untitled, but has blood on some of its pages.

>>I don't have time to inspect the picture frame
Time? What is rushing you? Examine spellbook. Can you use it? Hold the three books under one are and the knife in the other hand. Leave all else. Get somewhere safe to examine the books in detail.

Do you still have your eyeball? ............If you can stomach it, eat it. You've got plenty of other stuff to toss around. No other use for it and it's not much but it's edible. Logic can be cruel.

>>130253
Ditch the garrote (we have a knife as a weapon), take all 3 books. Then get ye back to a safer area to read the books.

use spellbook to reattach eye

I can't read it yet!

I run out of the room just before the poisonous gas from the other room starts to fill the hallway. Seems we'll have to ditch this place, and fast.

>>130271
Start moving down the long hallway.

shit shit shit maybe we should have closed the drawer that was spewing gas. Can we hold our breath and make a run in to shut it and run out again? If you can't go that far in, shut the door to the room and book it.

>>130261

>>126482

And as >>130262 said: Ditch the garrote, take the books and get the hell outta here!

Yeah. No use standing around here.

I can probably read a book while we're walking... though that means I'll be a bit distracted. An alternative would be just us talking to each other. Wouldn't probably get any good information, but at least I'm alert.

Should I read a book or just talk with you while I walk?

Mhm. Suit yourself.

... I just realized that I'm still feeling every pain I got. Back from that room when I tried to break myself free... Then that small accident by the moving stone traps... Then the poisonous gas.

You guys have any theory why I'm feeling something like this, or maybe something that might easen my pain?

>>130288
You could try sitting down and taking a rest for a bit?

I already tried that when we were in that room with the drawer. Didn't do any good. It's like my body system's messed up.

... So uhh, what are you, anyway?

>>130288
You're fucking cursed man. Some sick shit is doing this to you for his own enjoyment. You've been tortured and staved for 2 weeks prior to this scenario. If you somehow manage to get out of this place your "prize" will be a knife in the gut.

>>130294
Well, on the other hand you could try focusing on the pain and willing it to go away.

As for us... uh... Perhaps your torturer put something in your eye socket, and we're speaking from it. That, or you're going crazy.

>>130294

"Empty shell"? Are you referring to me not remembering anything? ... Well, it's not that I exactly DON'T remember anything... But the images are more of a blur. Can't make out anything out of them.

... There's a weak light just after this turn.

It seems you're in some sort of tonberry dungeon, I'd presume. And if I had to further conjecture, I'd say you've been used in some sort of ritual. What the purpose of the ritual was and what kind of effects it had on you I cannot say.

Ready knife. Take a peek.

I pull out my knife and take a peek. The light's coming from near the ground, so I crouch down.

... It seems to be some sort of illumination device installed to the wall. I wonder what it's for.

I'm guessing a trap. What kind I'm not sure. Be cautious.

How can something shiny be a trap? Mhm.

I take a step back to look at where I'm going. Most notable is that hole by the ceiling.

>>130326
Well, we've gotten away from the gas so let's check out the books before avoiding/disabling this trap.

Check the spellbook first.

Toss a nail at the shining light... and if possible under the hole. It's possible for something to be both illumination and motion-sensitive.

I open the spellbook. It doesn't have any table of contents or anything. It goes straight to the spells.

What are we looking for, exactly?

Point your finger down the hallway you came from and yell "APOY".

I guess it's worth a try?

"APOY!"

HOLYSHITFLAMES

>>130349
Looks like you've got some talent there.

What's the next page?

Look around for healing spells.

Are we talking fireball or cigarette lighter flame? Healing spells. Now.

>>130358

and failing that...

>>130288

Look for some item that seems to help a lot more than it should, and is entirely consumed in doing so, even if it wouldn't make sense to consume it. These "level-up" items are probably the best, or the only way to lessen your pain, at least until we beat this game and get you healing normally again.

>>130253

Holy crap I recognize that purple anywhere. One of the people in that picture is Gezzono.

All Tonberries wear that purple.

>>130353

I flip through the book for healing spells, though I got disinterested after five pages or so. Didn't find anything that could heal me.

Here are the spells that I found out, though:

Fire: Lvl 1 - No Req - Verbal - "APOY!"
Water: Lvl 1 - No Req - Verbal - "TUBIG!"
Earth: Lvl 1 - Target must be underneath mud or stone - Visual - Wave left hand, scooping motion from floor to target.
Air: Lvl 1 - Can only be used when around air - Visual - Wave left hand, swinging motion from left to right
Stone Wall: Lvl 2 - No Req - Verbal - "PADER NA BATO!"

>>130358

It's just a very small flame, probably the size of my hand. I don't know why it's that weak, but my condition must be related to it.

>>130379

You sound like a geek to me, but you do raise a point. Maybe there's something that might help lessen my pain. Probably any drugs or something.

So uhh, what are we supposed to do now?

>>130525
That light is probably a trap. Do you think you can tumble over it at the thinnest point?

Check worn book and blood book. Cover light emitter with least useful book to see what happens.

Can only be used when around air? That's just silly. You're always around air, unless you're underwater. Anyway, I suppose it's time to get moving. Examine or poke at the light source, but if there's nothing interesting about it CAREFULLY see if you can see anything up the hole in the ceiling.

The light weakens, and the scratches on the books are gone.

Take the book away and wait to see if the light strengthens.

They're gone... permanently? WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?
