I wake up. My back hurts. I don't get how I was able to sleep in this lump. Morning, guidance spirits.

I... I guess you can call it a bed. I wonder where Rojo is. She disappeared a week ago. I hope she comes back today. It's my birthday.

How's your tribe? How's your sister? Seen Carg around? Or Shaw? Or the litch?
>>
No. 145589 ID: 1ac39d

darn, we time jumped again. last thing we got is you telling carg off.
>>
No. 145594 ID: 34470e

>>145587
My tribe is fine, though I can't really see how it was possible my vocabulary was so bad. My sister is fine as well. I haven't seen Carg around. I've had occasional Mary Shaw nightmares, but you always told me to wake up before I scream. I haven't seen the lich around at all.
>>145589
You really need to stop doing that. It confuses me. Wait, try to remember what you told my tribe leader the day I arrived here. You told me what you told him.

You told him to watch out for Kasparov. When I asked who it was, you spirits got all defensive and weird. This is really strange.
>>
No. 145621 ID: 1ac39d

oh no, we didn't get defensive. we have no clue who Kasparov is. meaning that when you asked "who's Kasparov" we responded "we don't know. don't ask us. who?" and the like. rather odd.
>>
No. 145624 ID: 34470e

>>145621
No, you got defensive. You told me stuff like 'you don't need to ask that stuff' and 'don't you dare ask things like that'. You know something, but you don't know what you know. When I tried to ask Xom, you told me you went to him and got him to shut up about it.
>>

goddamn it, that doesn't sound like us at all! get Xom here right fucking now. he better not be trolling us. dammit.

No. 145630 ID: 632862

Wait a second, let me try to force a memory...

[try to remember]
>>
No. 145635 ID: 34470e

>>145625
You told me you screamed at Xom to shut up, and Xom told me that you guidance spirits chewed him out. He was even holding his head in pain. I told you I was going to trust you until it happens again.
>>145630
Uuh, what exactly are you trying to do?
>>
No. 145636 ID: 632862

I was trying to remember what we forgot. It didn't work, I guess.

I think you should summon Xom again, and we can go into his head and ask him WTF IS GOING ON.
>>
No. 145639 ID: 34470e

>>145636
Are... will you yell at me again? I really don't want to be yelled at.
>>
No. 145640 ID: 632862

You aren't going to ask about it, right? We won't yell at you so long as you don't ask about it. We're just going to ask Xom. He's not going to tell you about it. This is just information for us.
>>
No. 145642 ID: 34470e

>>145640
O... okay. I promise I won't ask. I think about wanting to summon Xom. He appears out of thin air.
Xom:"Yeah, what do y- oh, um... I- I... left my houses on fire. Water fire. Fire made of water. I do that sometimes. I need to go put it out."
Xom laughs nervously. You go and, uh... do your thing.

Wait a second! What's going on? We lost memories and have no idea why we yelled at you or anything. Who is Kasparov?
>>
No. 145653 ID: 34470e

>>145650
CRAP IT'S YOU AGA- Wait, wait. Wait. You lost your memories? So... You're not going to yell at me again? That was truly terrifying!
>>
No. 145659 ID: 632862

>>145653
What did we even do? You know what, I think I can guess. Shock images and lots of loud yelling right?

Anyway... it's probably a good idea not to tell Nir about whoever Kasparov is, if we were that intent on keeping him a secret. The only person with that name I know of is a master chess player, and that hardly seems important.

So, who is he? Why is the kobold elder supposed to beware of him?

Also how come you don't know why we would lose our memories like that? It's almost like there's two separate 'guidance spirit' entities, and we wind up sharing time.
>>
No. 145663 ID: 34470e

>>145659
Oh, more than shock images and lots of yelling. You also posted images of Britney Spears. Kasparov is under the employ of the lich. And your memory problem is something the DM hasn't figured out what direction to go in yet. I think he needed to think things through more fully. I mean, remember the lime? That was originally a green apple. Then he changed it into a pear! Then into the lime you all know and love. Dear god, I sound like Iffy!
>>
No. 145729 ID: a85626

Oh I get it. Nirblim is switching spirits without realizing it. You were talking to someone else earlier.

Either that or we're about to go on a temporal journey that Andrew Hussie would be proud of.

wait so basiclly that means there diffrent versions of us.
so the one he talked to was the one of pure rage I guess? Is there one of pure compassion to?

Those are very sound theories, but unfortunately, I'm sorry I can't tell you what the truth is. Is that all you ask of me?

no I think that's pretty much it. sorry for what happened before. whatever happened it was not right of us.

No. 145769 ID: b71223

sorry about yelling at you
we have problems with us...
(that was horrible grammer.)
We seem to be losing time, like a split personality or something. it's weird.
either way a nice fill in on what we've helped you with this past week would be nice. also did Rojo say where she was going or if she was comeing back? also how you holding up man?
>>
No. 145773 ID: 34470e

>>145767
>>145769
Oh! You're back! Um, I didn't know you spirits had a split personality. Um, the past week, I've just been guarding my tribe. Rojo never said where she was going, just that she has something she needed to do. I hope she comes back soon.
>>
No. 145781 ID: a85626

Obviously we have a split personality. Otherwise we'd be just one spirit. The problem is why are there groups of personalities who can't communicate...

No. 145785 ID: a85626

Wait, if we're the departed spirits of Nirblim's tribe then that means...

oh god... we're all cutebolds...

Well how's your village so far? seeing as you are the well...smartest bold there you ever thought of teaching? if nothing else at least grammar. we can help you with math.

Actually, you spirits have been helping me teach my tribe.
???:"Nirblilm? I'm back!"
I look. It's Rojo. Magun and Iffy are there as well. They're each holding a bag.
>>
No. 145804 ID: b71223

Ah yeah, Rojo went and got the band back toghether again. they're probably gonna help you take down the lich so...
have any ideas on how to take down the Lich?
of course we should case the place first. going in guns a blazing isn't a good idea for a magic cult
also How is the teaching going?
>>
No. 145816 ID: 1ac39d

ask what's with the bags? maybe they are going to draw some kind of anti-dream circle.
>>
No. 145818 ID: 34470e

>>145804
That's nice of her. I... I have no clue how to take down a lich. What's a gun? The teaching has been going somewhat good.
>>145816
Nir:"What's in the bags?"
Magun:"It's stuff for your birthday. Which one do you want first?"
>>
No. 145821 ID: b71223

well... it's your choice Nir.
make sure you thank them.
they are really good friends man
>>
No. 145822 ID: 1ac39d

um.... a gun is like a very small cannon that you hold in your hand that shoot very small cannonballs.
anyway. yay, birthday party!
>>
No. 145823 ID: d60b9a

Actually.. how long has it been since you/we returned to your tribe? We didnt even realize you told Rojo or Magun or anyone your birthday.

But as for the present thing, Magun's first. Mentor's privelage.

Thanks for the definition.
>>145821

Nir:"Thanks, guys. I choose Magun first."
Magun hands me the bag. I open it. There's a mage hat inside. It looks very fancy. Should I try it on?

Izzy? Do you mean Iffy?
Nir:"Rojo, I'll take yours next."
Rojo:"I think you'll like it. I hope."
She hands me her bag. I open it. There's a small shovel inside. I take it out.
Rojo:"It took me almost a week to gain the money in order to buy that for you."

awww, she remembered.

Yes, she did. This really means a lot to me. I really hope I never lose this.
Rojo:"Do you like it?"
Nir:"I love it, Rojo!"
She smiles.
Rojo:"I'm glad."
Now it's Iffy's turn. She hands me her bag. It's kind of heavy. I open it. There's a box inside.
Iffy:"Careful with that."
I open the box. Inside there's a... thing. On the thing it says 'Happy... b-... birth...day.' I don't know what this is.

No. 145951 ID: 1ac39d

is it colourful? if so then that is a cake. a pastry which is a type of baked food. it is made kinda like bread but with more sugar. it is very tasty. also does it have candles in it? if so then you need to open it all the way, light all the candles then everyone sings a birthday song for you. afterwards you try to blow out all the candles while making a wish.
>>
No. 145954 ID: 34470e

>>145951
There are 5 small candles in it, and it's colorful, so it must be a cake. I open it all the way. Um, I look around for something to put it on. I don't see a table or anything. A little help here, please?

No. 145957 ID: 34470e

Oh, I can probably use my shield as a table. I do so and put the cake on the table. Iffy fires out a couple of fire spells. The candles are lit.

No. 145969 ID: 34470e

I... I wish my tribe was safe from anybody who threatens it. I blow out the candles. I wait a while. Nothing happens. Or at least nothing seemed to happen.

Anyway, where are you? The only thing we know is you woke up in a lump. What is your tribe like? Where do you all live? It might seem silly, but would you show us around again (even if you have already)?
>>
No. 146000 ID: 34470e

>>145986
Well, I don't know if anything is supposed to happen once a wish is made. I've never had to blow out candles in a cake before. It's weird. Why exactly do you plow out the candles right after you light them anyway?
>>145989
That lump, or bed, was where I slept most of my life. It's made of hay. I don't know how my tribe is compared to other ones. It's in a clearing in the forest. It's just the huts everyone sleeps in, a fireplace, a farming field, and a small shrine. The shrine is where I met you spirits. So there's really not much to see.
>>
No. 146004 ID: 1ac39d

let's fix everything with magic and brain power. magic a tree apart and turn it into a proper bed-frame.
>>
No. 146006 ID: a85626

>>146000

It's a challenge, to see if you can blow them all out in one breath. Since you get a new candle every year it's always more challenging. If you left the candles lit they'd burn down quickly and melt on the cake anyway. So you light them only right before blowing them out.

A clearing, huh. There's a shrine to us? Neat! What do you plan to do today? What do you grow in the field, not mushrooms? If there's anything we spirits can do to teach you or your tribe let us know!

I was thinking just making the straw softer... if your bedding has more "give" to it, it can conform to your body and thus ease any uncomfortable points of tension. Too much "give" though and you go all the way through to the floor, so a proper balance is best.
>>
No. 146014 ID: 1ac39d

>>146012
ah yes, the point of the bed-frame though is so you are not on the floor. being off the floor keeps you warmer at night as well as cleaner.

I'm telling you, futons are the way to go. Bed frames are just a mattress covered torture device.

No. 146016 ID: 632862

Well, you should start slicing up the cake for starters. Give Magun and Iffy a slice each to go.

Tell them it was nice seeing them again, and to be safe.
>>
No. 146020 ID: 34470e

>>146016
Nir:"Wait! Magun, Iffy, don't you want some cake? It was nice seeing you again."
Magun:"Oh, sure. You have a knife? If not, I can probably turn my hand into a claw and cut it up that way."
>>146006
That seems fun. And for what I'll do today... um...
>>146004
>>146012
>>146014

I think I'll make a bed for myself.

Wait what, we lost time again. Did we say anything interesting?

But yes, you should make beds for everyone.

Do the other spirits ever mention lost memories? I wonder... Perhaps they're watching right now.

They might even be the orb spirits Magun has, somehow hitchhiking along with us after we spoke to Magun.
>>
No. 146105 ID: 34470e

>>146103
Oh, a week? Well, you taught me how to make a bed. Magun went back to his tower and sent some carpenters to help out making beds here.

No, this is only the third time you said you lost your memories. And this is the first time I've heard about orb spirits.
>>
No. 146106 ID: 632862

I mean the orb voices. The ones that tell Magun to do stuff? We told you about that before, apparently, during those missing 7 months. I suppose they might not really be 'spirits' though.

No, I won't yet. Not unless he gets me really mad. And I've practiced making the mana balls a different shape a bit. But so far, no luck.

No. 146265 ID: 632862

Alright. For future notice, don't wear the black robe in public. It makes you look like a servant of the lich.

But seriously? You have his phylactery? That's crazy. How did you get your hands on that?

No. 146267 ID: c0f3bf

The last time we saw you you wanted to sell off Nir's entire tribe, can you blame us for being a bit... jumpy?

You're not just a phenomenal thief, but an infiltrator as well? Okay, send us back and we'll ask him to unfreeze you.

No. 146268 ID: 34470e

Nope. Sorry. You hate me, so I'm not going to fuckin tell you anything. If you're willing to fuckin apologize, then I might let a few secrets leak out.

I'm gonna leave after the fuckin kobold unfreezes me. And I'm going to keep my lips shut until you fuckin apologize.

Sheesh. We don't hate you. We dislike you.

Sorry for freezing you, we're a bit paranoid. And sorry for yelling at you, we're a bit ruthless. So don't run off, alright? Do you want to get unfrozen now, or after you tell us stuff?
>>
No. 146272 ID: c0f3bf

We're sorry. We should've waited longer to see what was up, but we've had to deal with some mind-altery stuff lately, and with the black robe we thought you might've brought cultist people with you.

How about Master Thief Carg? We've obviously underestimated your skills.

Tell us all about how you defeated the Lich's traps.

No. 146280 ID: 34470e

That's much fuckin better. See how easy that fuckin was? You've been good guidance spirits, so maybe you deserve some info. 2 months ago, I approached the lich's domain. It looks fuckin small when you're outside, like a small fuckin hut. Inside, there are 5 people including me. Their names are Mary Shaw, Neophyte, Androgyn, and Kasparov. The Lich never tole me his name. He just said to fuckin call him 'master', 'lord', etc. I think that's all the info you deserve.
>>
No. 146283 ID: 8ecfd4

>>146280
So what do you intend to do with the phylactry?

Oh and the other voices telling you they're ruthless isn't really true. It's true about me though. Threathen this kobold tribe and you will get fucked up in all new creative ways. There are such intersting things you can do to a person if you have a knife, can restrain them and have someone casting heal on them at even intervals.

Good job by the way master theif Carg. I hope you have some plan for the future.

Fuck you! I'll have the lich permanently banish you! Then I'll have the entire fuckin group slaughter this fuckin tribe, so shut your fuckin mouth and apologize, fuckers! I might even fuckin return the phylactery!

Just so you know, he CAN do that.

No. 146292 ID: 8ecfd4

>>146289
Just kidding. I would never hurt such a wonderful theif as you. I'm very happy you're here in fact. That damn kobold was starting to get really annoying. So stupid and naive. He never actually learned magic, not really. He got it as a gift from a god.

Let us just zip over to him and we can tell him he sucks and then go with you. Pretty please can we go with you? You're so amazing and awesome.
>>
No. 146293 ID: c0f3bf

Oh goddamnit.

Alright here's some for you. The lich brainwashed Mary Shaw somehow, probably with some kind of torture or mind control, or she's doing it of her own will. She attacked Nir in his dream, if that happens to you, you need to wake up by any means necessary. And don't scream. Ever. She attacked him outside it too, but Rojo fought her off. Her goal is probably to convert people into slave drones for the lich.

That's much fuckin better. See how easy that fuckin was? You've been good guidance spirits, so maybe you deserve some info. 2 months ago, I approached the lich's domain. It looks fuckin small when you're outside, like a small fuckin hut. Inside, there are 5 people including me. Their names are Mary Shaw, Neophyte, Androgyn, and Kasparov. The Lich never tole me his name. He just said to fuckin call him 'master', 'lord', etc. I think that's all the info you deserve.

That was all he was willing to say. He also hinted that he managed to steal the Litch's phylactry. Can't confirm if he has it or not.

Kasparov? No, I shouldn't ask that.

Wait... something's not right.

What... Ask him why he isn't swearing anymore. Prepare to refreeze. Send us over again.

Well for one thing he is actually polite. Which we have only seen him be when he is intending to rob someone.

For another he has spent time near the Litch. The one Mary Shaw insists will save everyone. I don't care how good he is at physical infiltration but they're bound to have some sort of thing set up to make sure anyone attempting to join them is fully commited or they make them commited.

What I think you should do is call up Rojo. Lead him into an empty hut. Freeze him. Tell him to come completly clean or you're going to listen to an advice from your spirit guides. If he talks then kill him, if not then kill him. The guy is completly unreliable.
>>
No. 146329 ID: a85626

Oh he also said if you or any of your tribe look at him funny "the whole place is going to be wiped off the planet." I think he's bluffing, if that's not obvious, but what a mean thing to say!

And I didn't mean for you to go alone. I meant for the whole tribe to go underground. If Carg could find the place, it's probably not safe to stay, since you know the lich is after you.

He smiles. Is... Did he really change that much? He's like Rojo.

it is his most valuable item. but for anyone else it's nearly worthless because if the lich's body is destroyed then the lich will pop out of the ring and kill anyone who happens to be nearby. no one wants that kinda risk. if it is detroyed then the lich will be gone once his next body is gone.
>>
No. 146380 ID: c0f3bf

Because the lich "saved" Mary Shaw, and she wants to "save" other people. Note that Mary Shaw tried to kill Nir twice and her definition of "save" is probably close to brainwash and torture.

i think Nir's birthday wish may have done something. for all we know xom tweaked it so it came true. cause it seems he was working for the lich for a while, then suddenly 4 days ago he steals shit from him. he also keeps going "i just want to protect the tribe... i mean until i find a buyer, of course, yeah." which to me speaks of imposed justification. he is being compelled to protect the tribe but is given free reign to decide why he wants to. that's why it speaks to me that Xom did something.

That's why you should get Magun somehow. Either go see him yourself with Carg, send Nir to get him and bring him here, or stay here and send Nir and Carg to him.

I think he's behaving this way because he honestly doesn't want to make you or Nir mad. I guess he doesn't realize how obvious he's being.

I still remember exactly what I said. After that, I went on, ruining the lives of other people. Then, one day, I met Nir. I tortured him and abused him. Then I met Magun. The first thing I did when I met him was try to kill him. For that, I was almost cooked alive. Magun instead had a curse placed on me. I couldn't eat any meat for 7 months."

A thief is supposed to be manipulative. A thief is supposed to be a complete bastard, do you fuckin get me?

Your conscience is showing. Why is it that you want to protect Nir's tribe? Is it because they're so vulnerable? People just walk all over them, they can't even defend themselves. Sold into slavery because people think they're stupid. Yet they have potential untapped. They could be just as useful as any goblin or human. They're not stupid, they just aren't developed. You know this.

We met him in the tavern here. He stole some money from Rojo, then we bumped into him again and Nir froze him, so we could talk to him. Found out about his various personal motivations, and he was very interested in stealing shit from the Lich. At first we didn't want him to go alone but he turned out to be a giant asshole so we told him anyway. Nir guilt tripped him a bit because he said he wanted to sell his tribe into slavery, and apparently Carg's a bit of a softy so he's working to protect the tribe now.

He got a black robe from the lich, since he's basically infiltrated their group. He's still wearing that. The lich might actually be feeding him false information, though. The ring could be fake. I assume you have some way of confirming that.

You did what.

Okay then.

Got any idea how to pierce an illusion? Or is it just a matter of seeing the incongruity in it? If freeze doesn't stop his illusion making, Kasparov could make anyone in the city look like him (if he's as powerful as they claim), and could make himself look like anyone in the city. More likely Kasparov can only mess with people whose name he knows, same as Mary Shaw can only send nightmares to people who've met her eyes.

Kasparov's illusions might depend on knowing the name of the victim. I suggest this because when the fake Magun ran up to him, the first thing he did was shout out the name of his pursuer to Kasparov, after which many illusions ensued. Your name is too well known to not know, but maybe if you know someone who Kasparov hasn't been able to get a name from?

No, I just want to destroy the damn phylactery and get back to the tower with Iffy. Today has been such a shitty day. Carg hands me the phylactery.

It looks like we've accomplished everything we sent out to do here. Though I guess not without a bit of a clusterfuck in the process.

Yes he is rather naive. But ever since he ran into you a second time in his village he has been acting even more naive than usual. He was also alot more unwilling to listen to us than usual.

That's one of the reasons we wanted to get to Magun. To get him to find out if anything is affecting Nirs mind.

Rojo. You agree that Nir was acting strange at his tribe right? Can you think of anything that would make him act that way. Because if you can't then I think we might need Maguns insight for it.

I think he meant the platonic kind of love. Non-sexual. You obviously care about him deeply. It doesn't have to involve physical attraction to be called love.

Would it really be that important for him to be a foxfolk anyway? As for his age, I think kobolds mature faster than most other races. I guess you could say that the naivete is an issue, though.

I don't know what a kitchen is. Sorry.
>>149071
One doorway leads to some room with a lot of boxes. The other leads to a somewhat larger room with lots of different things in it. There's a chess set, and a big ball, and some small things that look like tiny people. There's also a small bow and a weird-looking arrow.
>>149072
I look around some more. There's a room with a toilet and a large white container in it. There's a room with a large bed and a dresser and a mirror. As I approach another room, I think I hear crying.

I enter the room. Inside, there's a person crying on the bed. I don't know who it is. It looks like Rojo, only smaller.

Nir:"Rojo, are you okay?"
She turns to me. One of her eyes is closed shut, blood is coming out of her nose and mouth, and I think some of her fur is cut off.
Rojo:"Wh- who are y- you?"

Tell her you're someone who won't be mean to her. Then give her a hug.

Nir:"I'm someone who won't be mean to you."
I take a step forward and she backs away. She continues to cry.
Rojo:"Y- you'll o- only h- hurt me... S- stay away..."

Make a mana ball in your hand. Tell her you're a black mage, you wouldn't hurt her for wanting to be just like you.

no no no!!! bad idea, that may just scare her. besides i don't think magic works in dreams.

ask why she thinks you will hurt her. and ask what you can do to prove you are telling the truth.

The reason she's crying is she wanted to be a black mage and her village hated her for it and beat her up. A black mage wouldn't attack her for that, so some proof could help. Nir, TRY to make a mana ball, but if it doesn't work, ask her why she's crying.

I try to make a mana ball. It works. Rojo looks at it.
Nir:"I'm a black mage. I wouldn't hurt you for wanting to become one."
She's silent and just staring at the mana ball.

The mana ball disappears. She looks at me and stares at me for a moment.
Rojo:"Why a- are you tr- trying to m- make fun of m- me?"
>>

Tell her you're trying to cheer her up. Do a pratfall, try to get her to laugh at you.

A pratfall by the way, is when you fake falling to try to be funny.

I try to fall down and make her laugh. I don't hear her laugh.
Rojo:"Y- you think i- it's f- funny? Wh- what do y- you think i- it's doing t- to me?"
I guess it didn't work.

Nir:"I'm sorry. What do you mean?"
Rojo:"You're t- taking your turn l- lashing out at m- me. I- I want t- to see you cry- crying with your d- dirty butt in front o- of me, m- meanie!"
She starts to cry again.
Rojo:"I- ill b- burn you... I'll burn i- it all..."

Sit next to her on the bed. Make a mana ball again and let her play with it if she wants, ask her why she thinks you would want to hurt her.

I sit next to her and make another mana ball.
Nir:"You can play with this if you want to."
She looks like she reaches out for it, but then she pulls back.
Nir:"Why do you think I want to hurt you?"
Rojo:"Ev- everyone always makes f- fun of me, just b- because I want to b- be a black m- mage. I... I can't t- take it anymore..."
She's crying. I hug her.
