Gezzono notes us that he actually is a mage, as implied by his title "The Elementalist Tonberry". He only keeps some healing spells around him for emergency purposes.

If ever there's a cleric, that would be Gazzene. However, he had ordered her to return the body of Dezzono back to Alcardia for a proper burial, so she isn't here for now.

I haven't seen Murdelp for a week now. He left a note saying that he had "official business" by the Kobold Mines.

You're always bringing this topic up. Now that I remember, we still have that WOODEN MAIL we got from the Armory.

I was really kind of hoping that we don't encounter anything that'll make us fight around here. That only means the Kobold Mines has been taken over, and the Kobolds would be struggling.

Anyway, there is a door somewhere that leads to the Oridecon stones. The Kobolds always lock it up whenever they're not in the mines. To control the locking mechanism, we need to find THREE SHARDS OF GEM hidden somewhere around here. Only the Kobold chieftain knows of this, and hides them in different places each time.

I used to operate on these shards myself when I help the Kobolds mine for Oridecon. Three of them will open that locked door leading to the stones. I doubt they have something to do with the delicate atmosphere around us.

Common Sense advantage in GURPS:
Whenever the GM thinks an action a player is wanting to take is STUPID, the GM can warn the player by saying "Hadn't you better think about this?" This lets an impulsive *player* take the roll of a cautious character.

In Gnome's quests in specific, he mentioned that Logic would influence how he selected commands and how he interpreted them.

Do you have a backup weapon somewhere about your person? The easiest way to get out of this would be to stab the shit out of the attacker before anything happens; stabbing shit usually requires no thought, can be done in a panic, and reflexively saves your ass.

There are three possibilities I can think of to try and 'beat' this. Since it seems to be a case of memory/illusion, and not time travel.

First thing: Try anything you can to see if you can PHYSICALLY alter this. Focus all of your will into your claws, and try to slash one of the dudes throats. Try tp pick up and object to clobber them. We need to CONFIRM you can't do something like that.

Amina. I want to share with you a secret. A way to fight this.

I need you to shut off all stimuli. Close your eyes, stop listening to everything but the sound of this voice, and control your breathing.

Breath in. Hold it for a second or two. Breath out.

Repeat this process several times. Do not listen to anything this stone says. It knows only the path of destruction.

You were placed on a different path, Amina. Do not give into temptation. There is no wrong in anger for what happened to you. But that is in the past. Do not let it control your present, and you will remove it's grip on your future.

Breath, Amina. Breath. If everything else is too much to handle, just focus on your breath.

Focus on the breath.

Anyhow... if you change the past, you will have never had reason or power to do so in the future.

If you still had reason to have changed the past then your changing it would have effected nothing (you would still remember the event!)

If you did change your memories then you would have irrevocably lost a part of your constituent Psych, you would be a different you.

Trust us on this, if there is one thing we know, that we have always known... its the makeup of the psych, and the dangers of memories lost.

You offer one thing, and one thing alone.

Amina. Listen very carefully.

You need to focus on your breath. You need to shut everything out. If it will help, go to somewhere you feel safe. When you were with Sanya, or an earlier memory.

Think of this memory. Hold it in your mind's eye.

Breathe. Keep this image in your mind, and breathe. You must not give into the temptation for power. Power that has not been worked for will corrupt who you are. It will turn you against those you care about. Think of Sanya. Think of how hard she works to keep everyone happy, and how she helped you.

Focus, Amina. This stone is nothing compared to the wisdom you will gain from us. We will help you. We will at times be rude, but that is our nature.

Focus, Amina. Breathe, Amina.

Murdelp had the purple stone, last we saw. He left a note telling us he was going to the mines, so here we are.

Looks like it was a trap, of course. King Yelims of the Nocitomes had it before him, and was using it to control minds. The current theory is that Murdelp is under his control now, but it's possible that he delivered it to the king and Yelims is here now, using it against us.

Sanasha knows about the Amazon Kiss. It's a corrupted form of Amazon Scream (a spell that raises the target's morale).

Sanya, you've grown up to be a strong, independent woman. You've overcome many obstacles, showing courage and skill. Your father would be proud of you, and it's only a matter of time until you see him again. He's in trouble, though. You may have to save him, and it will be hard. We'll help you out. Believe in us, as we believe in you! Reject the illusion in front of you and hold on to what you know is real.

Hey Sanya. We met your mom just now. Get your butt up and start moving right now while we talk at you. Exit this room and head to the right, there's a dead end corridor that should be explored first I think.

It turns out the purple stone is the Essence of Courage that got corrupted somehow into the Essence of Anger. It's now mucking about with everyone's heads, possibly using Murdelp as a conduit. Sanasha saved Amina with a little help from us, and now Amina's done the same thing for you. Seems like there's something else going on here though, since they're not in the room anymore. We've gotta find Gezzono and Amina.

Actually, she might NOT be here. Apparently, the ESSENCE OF ANGER is not the only stone that can mess with your mind. And that messes with OUR perception. So, your mom might not have ever been here. Tis all confusing, but that's what we saw.

I look around and notice that this is the abandoned altar. The Kobolds used to live inside the Mines and used this place as a site for worship. They moved out of the mines when they grew to a sizeable population because they wanted to be recognized as a village, not some tribe.

>>75556

You mean the place that used to be the Confession Room? Well, if Amina and Sanasha got up to this place, I'm guessing they must've headed up there right now.

Sounds like your mom is a bit overprotective of you. If she feels that someone's done something to hurt you in any way, she may be hurting them back.
She doesn't want anything bad to happen to you because she loves you, but she's probably the type who doesn't know how to express that love right.

Still, finding the two of them soon - not to mention Gezzono - sound like very good ideas.

I thought of a few things and figured I'd make a note of it here for everyone, but I decided not to bump the thread.

1) Some of us (myself included) forgot that Gezzono has no tentacles now. That infection got healed during the time Sanya and Amina were training. He now has a normal hand again. This means he can cast spells.

2) Gezzono can cast spells. He is called The Elementalist Tonberry, in fact. Why isn't Sanya dead yet? He must not be completely convinced yet. If we try to knock him out though, he'll likely cast a spell to disarm or disable Sanya. Force will not be a solution here; Gezzono can probably beat Sanya in a straight up fight. We definitely need to talk him down.

3) Where'd the STRENGTH GLOVE go? Did Murdelp run off with it?
