You and Joey are currently sitting inside the tunnel, listening to the strange merchant's tales about his adventures in the city.

"..yees! We fought against dozens of aughouds and raiders who were after our priced biogel! Yees they were! House Kefil had tasked our guild to transport the precious nectar, and if we failed, they would have turned us all into wall drones! Yees a horrible fate indeed! But we succeeded! With our cunning, we led our pursuers straight to the enforcer drones guarding a harvester grub! The enforces slew them all, while we fled away and delivered the cargo! Yees, we did!"

You don't really understand anything about his stories, but they are entertaining enough. Joey seems to be somewhat scared though.

It has been about half an hour since the flyers appeared at the nearby plaza.
>wat do?

I am also having some internet issues right now, so my posting will probably be somewhat erratic.

>>23064177
Ask Joey what the matter is.

>>23064204

You ask her what the matter is.
"..I don't undersstand. What isss he talking about? Hiss stories scare me.."

>>23064240
"I don't understand either. But at least we have something to do while we wait."

>>23064177

She seems somewhat reassured, and you continue to listen to the tales of the merchant.
>>23064294
After a while, you decide to check on the plaza.

It seems that the flyers are constructing something over the boil.

"They aren't gonna leave any time soon. They will construct an extractor there, to harvest the gel, and to make sure that no one else will get it. Yees, the witches will soon be there too..the scions of Lienis will stay on watch until they have secured the new well..yees they will."

You turn around, and see the merchant gazing at the plaza besides you.

"Shame it is. Our guild could have used that well. Yees. Much profits would have been made.
Anyways, we should try to find an alternative route to the pumping station. My steed went that way, yees he did."

>>23064464
Let's ask the merchant if he knows any way around. I don't think we or Joey know much of anything at all.

alright, I think we have no choice, we gotta go back through the gutters

>>23064464
Get moving where this guy thinks is best, he's got to have a better idea than you since he's older than half a day/ four days.

The merchant thinks that you should head deeper to the tunnel.

"It's been some time since I was here last time..yees, but I think that there should be a way to the pumping station in here."

The tunnel clearly does continue further, but you can't see it's end, due to the way the tunnel curves.

Also, I forgot to mention your inventory.
You currently have these items:
A bundle made from skin.
3 small containers containing one doze of biogel each.
One medium container, containing 5 dozes of biogel.
A walking eye bladder thing that the merchant made.

>>23064660
Do what he says I guess. Ask him if he has any friends close or knows safe routes. I'm personally hoping that he says no, al though it puts us into greater danger he'll have to rely on us for protection and we can gain some favors with his guild or whatever.

Take the bladder thing. Put it on the shoulder with the bone plate. Aquire Giger pirate parrot.

>>23064660
Go with him, but be prepared for the possibility that he's leading us into an ambush.

"..I had..yees. That is why we are seeking out my steed. He was strong, and knew the routes. I handled the business, he took me and the cargo where we needed to be. I can't continue my business without him."

After few moments of walking, you enter a hall, with doorways.
The merchant stops, and gazes at the doorways.

"...3 choices..I can't recall which one leads to the pumping station...it has been long since I was a gutter runner here..."

>>23064843
Ask the jank dude on the wall.

You ask for directions, and if you can help.

"Oh..this is rare. A freak who realizes that everything has a prize in this city. I can give you directions, but not for free.
As you must realize, my current situation leaves me quite unable to do anything. My former masters abandoned this place many years ago, leaving me here to rot. If you wish to gain directions from me, you need to retrieve a certain object, from their lair inside this complex. It is of great importance to me. Do this, and I will aid you."

>>23065186
>>23065168

"Do not bother me with idiotic questions! I have suffered enough of them from that braindead aughound who started squatting in these chambers since it drove my masters away. Will you help me or not?"

Wait, what aughound?

>>23065347

>>23065404
"You aren't the smartest little gutter runner are you? Of course this place is dangerous. Why else would this large chamber complex be deserted? The maw thing keeps every freak with half a brain away and the nobles don't care about this corner of the city. Also, do not trouble your head about the nature of the object, it is of no significance to you."

>>23065444
"So you agree to help me? To reach the lair of my former masters, go trough the central doorway. You should eventually find a path that leads to staircase that spirals upwards.

>>23065619
Well, that means our path isn't in the middle, at least. So if we choose not to do this, we've at least narrowed it down. Let's for for it, though, and be ready to fucking run if shit goes down again.

You decide to help the wall dude, and enter the center doorway.
It doesn't take long time to reach the staircase he freak mentioned.

The merchant begins to speak.
"This place has been empty for some time. Yees. Something fierce drove the owners of this place away..yees valuable place this is."

"Thiss place is big...so big.. And it ssmelss foul.." says Joey.

great its probably where the aughound lairs up in between hunting trips. Proceed with caution.

>>23066252
Well, keep going. Let's see where it leads.

>>23066252
Let's head up the stairs. That's where I would be if I was a valuable bone spine.

The three of you begin to cautiously ascend the stairs.
The stairs are pretty freaking long, and you can see them spiraling upwards far above you.

Now would be a good time to make some small talk.

>>23066497
"Is there anywhere that is actually safe? Or is everywhere dangerous."

>>23066497
You mentioned something of the former owners of this place. Who were they?

Some question of this nature.

>>23066497
"What is this place we are in? Isn't there some kind of authority that should prevent all this violence everywhere?"

As you ascend the stairs, you ask the merchant some questions.

>>23066511
"Degrees of safety..yees, if you know the right people, and belong to the right groups. Complete safety..never! Yees..even the mighty nobles are constantly in danger. Only safety there is, is the safety in numbers..yees..loners die, and those who don't...well they become things that don't need to seek safety..."

>>23066529
"Not sure..it has been empty for long...probably minor noble house..they say that old Uzal drove them off, but tales tend to grow with time, don't they?"

>>23066545
"Heeehehe! This place is some sort of old noble chamber complex...probably intended for monitoring the gutter and droning the spawns with potential...the only authority there is is strength and cunning..yees, you need to learn that fast, spawn...you have been gifted with strength...most of the spawns are not...the only way to survive is to fight for it..."

You finally arrive at the end of the stairs. There is a pathway ahead.

>>23066783
Let's head down the path. Carefully.

>>23066826
Yeah, have Joey stick close. I only trust the merchant so far.

>>23066783
Piggy back on the merchant down the path.

>>23066783
Take the bladder thingie we have and shoo it down the corridor. We can use it as bait to draw out any hostiles. Then follow.

Well, either that or we keep it close and slowly grow it into a trusty and strong attack dog that obeys our every order. What do you guys think?

>>23066911
A pet is probably a better idea.

>>23066911
I like the attack 'dog' idea, swallowing smaller enemies whole and digesting them in the bladder.

>>23066927
>>23066977
Well okay, then just sneak down the corridor as silently as possible. Try to point the bone plate forward to shield off any ranged attacks.

>>23067082
We really need to get that whole big arm armored up - the knuckles especially.

So, I take that the plan is to enter the chamber.

(sorry, this background takes some extra time, as it has all kinds of stuff in it. I can't really prepare these unique chambers beforehand, as I don't know if you go down the routes you do.)

>>23067106
Slowly and carefully, yes.

>>23067106
Tip: Just use a generic one if you want to prepare beforehand. Like, big hall with two entrances. Then you can mod it easier.

You enter the large chamber carefully.

A strange, statue stands in the middle of this room, that is illuminated in crimson twilight.
You smell a strange scent in this room. It is not like the familiar scent of dampness and decay, but instead it somehow...fresh.

"They left in a hurry I see." Says the merchant.

>>23067571
Let's see if there's anything good in the containers.

>>23067605
Yes. There might be biogel!

>>23067571
NO NO NO
THAT STATUE THING
I BET MY BALLS IT'S A GUARDIAN OR SOMETHING

Check around the room for useful shit. Carefully. Don't let this thing out of our view for a second. Then when we're done checking pick up a heavy object and toss it at its outstretched arm.

>>23067571
Study the statue and look at what's in it's hand.

>>23067571
What's in its hand?
It's definitely the spine.

>>23067654
>>23067648
Actually, screw that. Look at the debris field guys. It circles the statue. Also, those little bumps around it? Those are the same things that were around the sentry guy downstairs. We need to be careful.

You and the merchant begin to rummage trough the containers.
Joey sits besides you, gazing intently at the statue.
She says that it creeps her out.

The containers only have one small biogel pot, but they also contain numerous leftover augs and other devices that the owners of this place left when they fled.

The items are the following ones.

>Strange, syringe like thing filled with fluid.
>Some sort of gland.
>Detached compound eye.
>Poison stinger.
>Some sort of pore filled cyst.
>Cutting tools.
>Biogel pot.
>Heavily armored lump of flesh.
>Claw.

(working on the illustrations.)

Attempt to comunicate with the statue to make sure we aren't stealing from something alive. Get what appears to be the spine (if that is what it is) out of the statues hand and high-tail it back to the wall guy. We shouldn't waste time looking for loot. the Maw creature could be back at any moment it this is it's den. We need to just get out of it's lair as quickly as possible

If we absolutely must leave here with loot, then I suggest our primary concern should be getting an aug that will help Joey defend herself and us.

>>23068195
Is there enough biogel for more than one graft?
If yes, then give Joey the stinger and ourselves the armor.
If not, then just the stinger for Joey.
Maybe wait until we are away from the statue though, I've got a bad feeling about it.

This sounds okay but we should watch out that we do not use up all our biogel at once, it's valuable.

>>23068239
I think we should just take the items to wall dude before any grafting is done.

If nobody is happy with this, then graft the stinger to joey and wait until we know more to graft anything to ourselves.

>>23068239

You have 8 dozes of biogel in total. One doze is enough for standard augs, such as simple bodyparts. Lucky for you, these all seem to be pretty standard augs.
The merchant also explains that some augs might require biogel upkeep to fuel them.

Also, as a reminder, you haven't yet found the thing you were searching for the wall dude.

>>23068294
Oh man, not to shit on you but how new are you? Have you already forgotten Jim Profit, TIDF and their clanny ilk, how they plagued /tg/ for months?

>>23068294
Yeah, I've always gotten good vibes from the only two boards I frequent: /tg/ and /k/, and if they're okay on /k/, then they must be fine...

Anyway, enough of this shit. Back on track:

>>23068239
Seems legit.

>>23068350
I'm not saying we've never had that problem. I'm saying we don't now, and in my experience of the last few years, anons who yell at namefags are way worse than the actual namefags are.

>>23068329
Step 1: Graft stinger to Joey, 7 biogel remaining

Step 2: Grab the stuff and return to walldude

Step 3: Bluff. Tell him that we have located the item, but it's too dangerous to obtain without using new grafts. Unforunately, we don't know what these *show him our new items* do. If you tell us what you know about these grafts, we can upgrade ourselves and retrieve the item for you.

Simple. Now we know what the items do, and we can go find the item walldude wants with our cool new grafts.

You grab the rest of the stuff, and put them inside the bundle. Your strength allows you to easily carry all the stuff in your have with you.

You descend the stairs and return to the wall dude. He seems quite eager to see you again.

You ask him about the statue.

"I don't know about any statue! Most likely some of my former masters fancied that sort of decorations. I don't know what they left there, and you are apparently now more aware of it than I am. "

You present the grafts you found to him and ask about them.

He looks at the 3 items, and quickly dismisses the gland and pore filled cyst as "standard junk you would recognize immediately if you weren't fresh from the gutters."
The gland releases strong hormones to the bloodstream, that can increase the apparent strength, speed and reaction times of the user. Minor side effects can be increased aggression and reduced logical thoughts, when the gland is active.

The cyst contains numerous small glands, that all produce different, air transferring pheromone scents, that can subtly influence the minds of those who are near the user. Usually this influence makes the others respect and obey the user.

The syringe thing however, seems to puzzle the wall dude. He turns it in his hands, as if trying to look it from every side, sniffs it, and even licks it. Eventually, he grunts, visibly annoyed, and hands it back to you.

"I have no idea of what that is. It doesn't look like stuff that the masters would have left here on purpose. All I can say is that it is made out of very fine chitin, probably by the Vat Mothers, or other old guilds. What it contains, is a mystery however. It could be poison, some viral agents, mutagens or almost anything. I wouldn't touch it if I were you. It seems dangerous."

"Now then, do you wish to continue to bother me with your questions, or will you finally retrieve the spine?"

>>23069319
Let's implant both of those first two, then ask about the remaining four.

>>23069319
Implant Pheromone Gland to the Merchant we have along.

Implant Adrenaline Gland to Joey so she ACTIVATE TURBO DRIVE when she wants to run up walls like she's Neo and tear people's spines out by pulling on their heads while hanging from the ceiling. Give pat on head.

Implant ourselves with the armored flesh on our arm so we have maximum battering ram.

Then head back to the Statue.

I'll wait until a consensus on the grafts is reached.

There are currently two suggestions.
>>23069391
we install both the gland and the cyst to ourselves.
>>23069500
We give the gland to Joey and the cyst to the merchant, while we ourselves get the armor.

>>23069500
I say adrenal gland to Joey and pheromone gland for ourselves. No need to make an individual of uncertain loyalty more able to influence us or our charge.

>>23069661
This.

>>23069661
I'd argue since the only trust you get in this world is the trust you give to people we should make friends of this Merchant. We have no reason to distrust him and he has no reason to abuse or kill us, since we're one day old gutterspawn that has saved or at least spared his life without asking cor compensation and is protecting him on the way around here, you know?

>>23069661
I say the opposite, we make ourselves a tank and joey the stealth.

>>23069661

Is this the plan then?
Or are there any objections.
Also, are you still planning on adding the armor to yourself?
These grafts will cost 3 dozes of biogel, leaving you with 4.

>>23069801
I vote for Pheromone to the Merchant, Adrenal to Joey and Armor to us.

>>23069816
I vote that we not give the Merchant the pheromones. I just plain do not trust him.

Just collect the stuff instead of putting on us. If we put too much stuff too fast we could end up like the vagina face guy.

Alright the general consensus seems to be this.

Joey gets the adrenaline.
You get armor.
Giving the merchant the pheromones seems to be the question right now.

We don't even know what augs the merchant has himself. He is older than either we or Joey. He probably has all kinds of augs, that are just not that apparent. He is a merchant after all, things like pheromone glands are probably standard fare in his trade.

>>23069801
We should take the adrenaline gland, since we are the strength.
Give the pheramones to Joey and hold on to the other things.

>>23069972
Fuck no. We know basically nothing about his pre-existing loyalties to his merchants guild. Even if we don't use the pheromones for ourself - and we should - we should absolutely not give it it him.

This matter needs to be settled quickly, so we may continue.
So, is there a consensus on the augs?

Rolled 65

>>23070063
There doesn't seem to be one on the pheromones. I'm rolling for not giving shit to the merchant.

>>23070063
Just give Joey the Pheros and us the Adrenaline and Armor.

>>23070063
We get the adrenaline, Joey the Pheremones. Hold off on giving the merchant anything until we know where his loyalties lie.

Alright then.

You decide to graft the extra armor and adrenaline gland to yourself, and the pheromones yo Joey.
The merchant aids you two in the process, saying that "it's good that you younglings get some extra bits to help you out..yees..dangerous world. Augs help to survive.."
He however, also warns you that you should not be too eager to ad parts to yourself, as it can drive you mad, and it you will need much more biogel.

"The augs have small minds of their own sometimes...sometimes parts of the earlier owner's...sometimes something else...yees..wild augs are dangerous..make you crazy."


The wall dude is increasingly frustrated at you.
"Will you fetch my thing or will you not? I answered all your questions."

Your current inventory is this:
>Skin bundle:
4 empty small containers.
One medium container with 5 dozes of biogel.
Claw arm.
Compound eye.
Syringe thing.
Cutting tools.
Walking eye bladder.

>>23070315
Yeah, let's go do it now. Let's also ask the merchant how much is usually 'too much.'

>>23070315
Let's go get that spine.

>>23070315
Yeah, lets go get it now.

Also, how about adding the extra eye to the eye bladder? Maybe make a spotter out of it for now? Also, we should find a name for it.

>>23070457
Oh, shit, that might be a really good idea. Maybe the cutting tools too, depending on what they're designed to cut through.

You head back up the stairs.

>>23070356
"It depends on you yourself...yees..some can tolerate many dozens of augs...while others go nuts after only few have been installed...of course...and it also depends on how invasive they are...yees. The important thing is to remain yourself...you allow the augs to define you...then they consume you...yees...old Uzal used to love eating, or so they say at least. He decided to graft himself a big mouth, and many arms..so he could eat more and faster...it didn't take long until the only thing that mattered to him was eating...and so he went mad..or that's how the story goes."

Keep talking to it, loudly. Have Joey circle around it (stealthily, maybe over the ceiling) and stab it in the back with the venom.

Eventually, you send Joey to fetch the spine from the creepy statue.
She climbs up it's body, grabs the spine, and stings the statue with poison for good measure.

Suddenly, she yells to you and the merchant.
"Guysss! You can see outside from here! Check it out!" She points towards the doorway at the end of the chamber, from where the red light shines to the room.

>>23071268
Whatever, just get back to wall guy

You warn her that the statue is looking at her, which causes her to jump and shriek.
She looks back at the statue's face.

"No it isn't you idiot! You are just trying to sscare me!"

>>23071477
Ask the merchant if it looks familiar to him.

>>23071477
Ask her to come on down away from there just in case. Then maybe we can see if we can take a peek outside from that ledge up there.

>>23071546

You look up to tell Joey to get down from the statue, but you see that she is already off from it, and heading towards the doorway from where the red light shines.

>>23071712

You can see countless of spires rising everywhere around you.

Captcha said: "zoducts thousands" That sounds neat, which reminds me, did we ever ask the merchant his name, tell Joey hers, or decide on one for ourselves? We should, if we call her Joey, she might not know who we are talking to if we don't tell her first.

One interpretation of Gigerworld is that all that grows there was once only one human that horribly mutated due to genetic mods or whatever and is now covering a sizable portion of a continent on planet earth, ringed in on all sides by a Berlin-Wall like structure filled with automatic gun turrets and artillery cannons. There is a 'dead strip' between the wall and the gigantic Gigercreature in which scattered True Human settlements exist, closed off from the outside due to quarantine but still alive due to aerial supply drops and being armed to the teeth.

You depart the chamber of the creepy not so immobile statue.

You hear a hollow laugh behind you, but you do not look back.
Joey and the Merchant on the other hand, can see whatever looms behind you, and they are screaming for you to run faster.

You run as fast as you can, and despite the fact how the laughing seems to follow you almost to the end of the stairs, the "statue" apparently never even pursued you.
Joey and the merchant say that is just stood there, immobile, staring at you as you fled, while emitting that horrible laugh.

You return to the wall guy, who is pleased to see you carrying the spine he wanted.

"Well, did you have fun?"

>>23073321
Just give him the fucking spine and ask for the directions we wanted.

Fuck. From now on, everything that looks even REMOTELY suspicious gets the venom-sting. Is that clear?

>>23073321
I didn't and now I won't give this to you.

Then I go back to where the well was and see what is happening over there.

>>23073321
Slap the fucker and ask him what the fuck the spine is before you even think of giving it to him.

>>23073321

"I don't know what that is but if it is being laughed at by a creepy ass statue then yes good sir I did indeed have fun; directions would be appreciated now, please"

>>23073321
Give him the spine on the condition he agress to join and help us on our journey.

>>23073442
>>23073349
He is going to kill and eat you. The lizard who is know our best friend said he was going to eat us before we helped it.

So, what will you do?
There seem to be many suggestions floating around.

"Who or what is that thing with the feathered arm?"

No spine until answers are given.

>>23073474
The guy who was locked up in a wall for the last eighty billion years against a massive FIST-O armor fucker and a speedy poisonous stinger chick? I know who's going to win that fight.

>>23073491
Withhold spine until answers are given. Then hand it to him.

>>23073321
Wait, guys, what if the statue didn't leave? What if it turned invisible? Can you imagine how useful that aug would be? I can't believe I'm saying this but: maybe we should go back and check the statue out?

It's not invisible. Joey and the merchant can tell us that.

>>23073031

>>23073521
Agreed

>>23073521

Seconding. Questions to ask are:

1) Directions first, so we can bug out fast.
2) What the spine is.
3) What the feathered arm creature could be, as it appears to be active now.

If anyone else wants to add to this, go right ahead.

As a side note, I think we should set up some terminology for our biologically diverse biome. For example: creatures that are made from biogel and parts can be called amalgums, while spawned creatures like ourselves (main character and Joey) would be called spawns. If it's possible for something to be born through procreation, then it could be a trueborn. Anything stationary like the statue or wall dude would be fixtures, while moving freaks like us would be movers. We need to start recognizing physical, mental, and spiritual differences between us and the other freaks to better understand our differing cultures.

You demand the wall dude to give you some answers first, before you hand him the spine.

"What treachery is this! We had our agreement! Give me the spine, then I will give you your directions, and answers if you want them so much!"

Yeah alright, hand it to him before he gives us the directions to the next charnel house instead.

>>23073708
Directions and answers first. We are going to betray you. I don't trust this guy.

>>23073640
Lol

>>23073649
My point being that somehow it did not appear in the room when we came back, yet was still there somehow when we left. It did not follow us, leading me to believe that it is still stationary.

>>23073746
If you make him angry he's just going to give us false info. he can't run from our FIST OF JUSTICE anyway, just hand it to him.

The wall dude bows his head, and stabs his neck with the spine.

"You see...the spine allows me to free myself from this hellish existence...it allows me to break the chains my masters bestowed to me,.."

As the spine pierces his skin, it begins to wiggle, move and ooze biogel. The flesh of the wall dude begins to shift and boil, as orange veins appear and burst open, releasing torrents of biogel to it's body.

"YES! It's happening! I am finally getting free!"

"They aren't worth going back for" says the merchant.
"Tainted parts. Use them as grafts and you'll go as mad as the aughounds. Never use grafts from aughounds...bad news they are, yees. They taint their parts with their own madness."

>>23074845
