You update your map, and enter the mine...

The mine is pitch dark.

...You can't see a goddamn thing, this is probably not a good idea to go in here. Where should we go instead.. unless you're very confident about exploring everything without any visual references in this darkness. (Which you don't want to do).

Well....it damn sure looks like this way is blocked until you find a light source. The only place we haven't explored is the...'diskownt' place. It's scary, but it's not like you have a lot of choice here.

>>46996
yea I fear you may be eaten by a grue... or glue... I dunno. Back to Diskownt? brave the scares?

>>46999
Perhaps our skeletal arm would serve as an effective scare tactic to ward off the proprietor, should it decide to look at us as a meal.

The fact that it still works normally, that is.
In any case, I'm all for taking the GTFO route. We don't seem to get along with darkness too well.

You exit the mine, and go out of the mine site in order to strut back to the DISKOWNT building. You step up onto the porch, and take out your hammer, just in case. A lot easier to hold with both hands.

Knock on the door. If there's no response, proceed to go inside cautiously.

You knock on the door!

Alright, screw subtlety, go inside and fuck shit up.

Hmm, that was a little forceful. Peer inside from a medium distance, letting your eyes adjust to the darkness inside.

You enter the Diskownt building, and are greeted with an empty shop counter, and a sign that says closed. Nobody's here, beyond the random noise now and then from rodent like creatures.

Stand near a wall and listen out for anyone approaching from behind, and ask politely if anyone's there.

Jump over the counter.

If there's a bell, ring it. If not, knock on the counter and yell "I have money."

You approach the counter quietly, and back up against it, "Hello? Is anyone there, I have money!"

After a long moment, you hear a very faint, "Read sign," from deep inside of the building, in the darkness.

RTFS

Read the sign but don't sacrifice your view over the counter as a result!

Say to the darknes: "The sign says FREE MUFFINS PANCAKES INSIDE"

You lean over and read that closed sign.

Place the fork 'n' knife gingerly upon the counter.

Put the fork 'n' knife on the counter and yell "There you are. Now, where are my pancakes?"

You take the fork and knife you have in your pouch and slide it onto the counter.

"Already had some silverware! Come and get it?"

You state, sort of confused at this 'store,' so far.

The closed sign slams across the counter, and out of the way, when the clatter of the fork and knife being picked up hits your ears. You back up to see over the counter when a large monster slithers somewhat outside of his counter.

"Thank! Here." The creature drops 1 Point down to Asali with one of his four arms, and he draws his arms back, and smiles nice, wide, and fang-filled.

"You here shop?"

"Sure! What do you have for sale?"

See if you can buy a flashlight. And pancakes.

And ask where do you are, and where is the nearer civilized settlement around.

"Sure, what do you have?" You ask, calming down a bit, and putting your hammer away. It seems you were afraid of this place for nothing... Maybe.

Skraig nods, and he puts his utensils aside, and pulls a piece of paper out, "These what have! Diskownt for you."

He seems excited, even if he has cheap junk. He likes to buy and sell.

"Skraig also want bottle. Stranger have bottle?"

Considering we can give this creep the bottle, we may as well buy everything he has in stock.

Just buy all the buckets you can afford, it'll be awesome.

Definitely buy the pretty light! And maybe the bucket... Buckets are always good to have.

I don't think the cone would fit, though.

...Unless it's part of a drill?

Sell him the bottle and buy everything.

And what about the pancakes?

...ask him why that list is blood-smeared?

You buy everything, which costs 7 Points.

You give Skraig the Bottle, and in exchange he gives you Some Kind of Stick.

This gives you a total of five items, one of them will have to be stored in your pocket dimension.

Items in your pouch can be used at any time, anything in the pocket dimension can only be exchanged when everything is clear. If there's combat, or a time consuming situation, the items here are inaccessible. Which item(s) will you keep on hand?

I'd say leave the invitation and stick in the pocket dimension for now.

>>47034
Did Skraig say anything about the stick, or does he know anything about it?
If it's significant, we might want to keep it out. If it's just a regular old stick, we may as well stow it until we find a use for it.

If we put that bucket on our head, will it still use up one slot of the active inventory? If not, we shall do so!

Skraig shrugs about the stick, and continues to eat like a gentleman.

>>47042
Thanks Skraig for his assistance and politeness, but indicate we really must be on our way, politely of course.

Get the drill, stick, bucket and light in your active inventory and get the fuck out of there before he gets the idea to take you for dessert. Don't turn your back to him, to be sure.
If he makes some moves, teleport out of the store and make a run for it. You already saw him eating somebody/you in your vision earlier, better not letting it come to that, baby.

Drill stick, light and hammer in active inventory

That hammer is already in the weapon-slot and doesn't seem to use up one inventory-slot.

>>40148
This could very well be him eating a rat. Just like he is now.

>>47144
Sure, it could be. I would rather not want to find out. He seems to be one messy carnivore, he would eat a cute Bubble Touched, I'm sure.

You thank him politely for his help, and begin to walk out. Skraig speaks up after finishing his meal.

"ONE SEC, uh. Skraig look cakes of pan. Stranger do Skraig favor. Find Skraig big fresh bone."

You agree, reluctantly. Where are you planning to go now?

Lets get that femur we foolishly buried earlier and give it to him. The ghost is gone, so it's not like we're going to get haunted.

>>47199
He said fresh bones. I doubt that's fresh.

>>47203

Let's try anyway. Let's go for the bone.

>>47212
>>47199

Yeah, Skraig probably wants the marrow. Those bones aren't fresh.

Hmpf, alright... It's not like I like that stupid bone or anything.

Head toward the mines, using the flashlight to light your path.

With your flashlight, you get a pretty weak, and short traveling light to give you an idea of what's in front of you. You begin walking into the mine...

Shotguns with Hammerhead rounds normally work best in mines. They like to spawn lots of shit right in front of you.

Stay to the edges, and keep an eye out for loot-ables behind crates.

You step along the tracks, looking forward.

This has been the worst hangover ever, and probably the start of something much worse.

"I shouldn't drink anymore," You grumble to yourself, eyes on what the flashlight was revealing to you...
