>>26519539
Disgusting.

>C. Listen to what he has to say.

>>26519539
C, though make it clear you do not approve.

>>26519539
A.

>>26519539
>C. Listen to what he has to say.

>>26519539
A. Nobody deserves this.

>>C. Listen to what he has to say.

You growl menacingly at the scene, clearly showing your disapproval, but you say nothing, and listen.


He points to Dark-Spike's limp form. "The plan was for him to frame your student, have both you thrown into my custody, then arrange for you to die while under my care. When Cloud Viper demands your return, I am put on a sham trial, and executed. Who sent him to do this he would not say, but I've gleamed much from his feverish mutterings while under intense pain."

He begins to pace back and forth. "He mentioned several names, but the one I caught is "Night Star," with whom of course, you've made your acquaintance.

"Fortunately, yesterday's incident gave me caution, and when a canister of poison gas went missing from my armory, I immediately launched an investigation - personally. I combed the entire city for residue of the gas, and surprise, I found it near your dormitory. If they were solely after framing me, surely they could have found other, easier victims. The fact that whoever masterminded this went after you twice, well, three times now, tells me they also want you dead. Why?"

You gather your thoughts for a moment, and answer:

A. "Not sure. I was hoping you could tell me. I'm just here to take part in the games."
B. "Why don't you tell me who and why they're after you, first."
C. "I've been snooping where I shouldn't, and my targets happen to be high ranking Night-Prowler leaders."
D. Tell him the truth - about your investigations and attempts to find a link between the Night-Prowler ruling council and Night-Star.

>>26519773
D

>>26519773
>B. "Why don't you tell me who and why they're after you, first."

Sorry. Not revealing our cards to a Night-Prowler, until he can be proven trustworthy enough. Potential conflict of interest.
Although it might be safe to say that Night-Star is gunning for us, after what happened in the operation.

>>26519773
>B. "Why don't you tell me who and why they're after you, first."

>>26519773
B. We have far more to lose by telling him.

>>26519773
C.

>>26519840
>>B.

"Why don't you tell me who and why they're after you, first," you tell him.

He thinks for a moment. "Fair enough. I'll go first."

He tilts his head upwards and after a long pause, begins to speak. "Who? I don't know. If I did, he'd be dead. It's certainly not Night-Star. The Empress's agents have him now. No one escapes her agents, and I wouldn't bet on Night-Star being the first exception in millennia. As for why? Well, I can think of several reasons."

He turns to you. "And I'll tell you this, only because you're an outsider. Judging these games and training young warriors is my hobby. My real occupation, and I've been at it since long before you were born, is burying information for the clan."

He begins to pace back and forth. "Did you like the fail-safes on Night-Star's personal computer? The viral worm that informs us any time it's been tampered with? Yes, of course I know you triggered it. I was the one who implemented those fail-safes. You see, our clan, by its very nature, brokers information and espionage, and sometimes, information needs to be destroyed. Utterly.

"Records need to be wiped, systems purged, evidence burned, and sometimes, persons silenced. I was very, very, very good at it. So good at it that every time they tried putting someone else to the task, I had to be summoned to clean up the mess. Someone must think I know something they don't like, and they're trying to take me out to tie a loose thread. No one knows my true role except those who put me in power, which narrows down our list of suspects."

He turns to you. "Your turn."

A. Tell him you're just here to take part in the games. You're just a tourist.
B. Tell him it must be something related to Night-Star, and ask him what information regarding the former fleet master has been "buried".
C. Tell him you've been snooping around the Night-Prowler leaders in an attempt to find a link between the Night-Prowler ruling council and Night-Star.

>>26520083
>B. Tell him it must be something related to Night-Star, and ask him what information regarding the former fleet master has been "buried".

Dayum. Yautja CIA then?
Can't reveal C.) then. Whoever put him in charge may be implicated as well. Keep to what we know.

>>26520083
>B. Tell him it must be something related to Night-Star, and ask him what information regarding the former fleet master has been "buried".

I miss hunting Naavi and killing Xenos. So simple compared to this.

>>26520083
B, mention it in a way that sounds like we are just trying to prove he's not a traitor because he's our friend.

>>26520144
Night-Star is not our friend. No one would believe that.

I think you're thinking of Quick-Shadow.

>>26520177
sorry its been a few weeks and sometimes names escape me, because i pass overthem easy

>>26520083
Snooping around in the dark with evil tongues and worse intent.

We aren't Serpents, we're Yautja.

>B

We Jason Bourne now.

I'm thinking we might need a pastebin of all the relevant personalities we've been interacting with.
Might cut down on some naming confusion and make it easier to connect the dots between them.

Basically, our interaction with Clan Night-Prowler have been through the following:

>Their Matriarch (name I forgot) - tried to undermine us during the council meeting, but made amends
>The one in charge of the armory (name I forgot too) - gave us the hologram gadget
>Quick-Shadow - betrayed by Night-Star
>Night-Star - all around grand douche, and collecting ships through scrupulous means
>Ebon-Claw - Night-Prowler's top CIA agent-like dude

>>B.

You tell him it must be something related to Night-Star, and ask him what information regarding the former fleet master has been "buried".

He clicks thoughtfully. "Yes, of course, that was my first thought as well. Ever since we got wind of Night-Star's... capture... the entire Night-Prowler ranking echelon went into a frenzy. I was ordered to take anything that's even tangentially related to him and destroy it. There was a lot of it. I wiped entire archives and replaced them with dummy, made up intel. I purged his service records, battle records, and even ripped apart his house.

"I never spent much time looking over the information I was destroying, though. Never was enough time and I wouldn't know where to begin even if I wanted to. I was too busy trying to race the Matriar..."

His eyes go wide for a split second, and just as you think he's on to something, his expression returns back to stoicism. "...ch's agents."

He turns to you. "I only know there was a lot of information I needed to obliterate. I never did try to comb through them. Perhaps they think I did? Well then they're fools. All that information is long gone now."

You say:

A. "Surely there must be some traces of it left. I'm certain you must have kept some private records."
B. "Why would the Matriarch's agents go against the directive to wipe Night-Star's info?"
C. "I think you're hiding something. Look, if we're going to work together, you'll need to tell me everything."

>>26520306
So generally a sneaky, cunnin' lot. Wealth built on a pile of skeletons in their closet most likely.

There's no ancient law or tradition against subterfuge and I doubt many Clans would behave differently in their shoes.

>>26520331
B

>>26520331
>B and C

I don't like this. He's either playing us or he's really stupid.

Two patsies are better than one, after all.

>>26520331
>B. "Why would the Matriarch's agents go against the directive to wipe Night-Star's info?"

Perhaps he's realized we're working for the Matriarch, if indirectly.

>>26520331
>B. "Why would the Matriarch's agents go against the directive to wipe Night-Star's info?"

Bottom line. Who gave the order to wipe the info?
Unless it was SOP for Night-Prowlers.

>>26520331
B

>>26520331
This is exactly why they're trying to kill him. They were afraid of this exact conversation, where he is spilling beans that we eat with pleasure.

We need to get information out of him.

>>26520378
>>26520383
>>B.

"Why would the Matriarch's agents go against the directive to wipe Night-Star's info?" You ask.

He makes a few tumbling gestures with his arm. "Who knows? Perhaps there was some evidence there that incriminates her. Perhaps she wanted to get her hands on them to make sure she gets to them first. Perhaps she's the one trying to take us down, out of revenge."

He turns to you. "But it's not like we can ask her. After all, she's not exactly around, is she?"

He leans closer. "You wouldn't happen to know where she is, now, would you? Because that could be why they're out to get you. After all, it's only sensible that she extradites herself to the bosom of a rival clan, such as Cloud-Viper."

You answer:

A. "No, I have no idea where she is. Why would I? I'm not a Night-Prowler."
B. "No, but I have a friend who might - you have him in prison."
C. "I might... what's it to you?"

>>26520474
B

>>26520474
B

>>26520474
>B. "No, but I have a friend who might - you have him in prison."
Do we know who put Quick-Shadow there? Was it the Matriarch of Night-Prowler?
Time for a trade.

>>26520495
No no no. The Matriarch of Night-Prowler was deployed by the other council members. They are the ones supplying the humans with Yautja tech.

>>26520474
B, and ask him who amongst the ruling council is likely to be aiding and abbetting this miscarriage of justice

>>26520512
deposed, not deployed.

>>26520474
I don't think telling him about Quick-Shadow is wise.

>>26520474
>B
>Cue Mission Impossible music

>>26520474
A.

Play coy.

>>26520474
B

>>26520490
B.

You answer, "No, but I have a friend who might - you have him in prison." You elaborate, and tell him only the bare minimums of Quick-Shadow's plight and the impending trial.

Ebon-Claw clicks thoughtfully. "Ah, of course. I've heard of him... The last person to see the Matriarch alive before she left the planet. That prison is managed by Sword-Dancer, a current high ranking member of the ruling council; one of the four, and former aide to the Matriarch. He always was a bit of a rogue. Now that I think about it, I'm almost certain the Matriarch or her loyalists are the ones behind this. They're probably trying to put her back in the seat of power, but before they do that, they'll need to destroy every shred of evidence which links them to Night-Star. Namely, myself, and you."

He thinks for a moment. "We need to break your friend out. Find out what he knows. It'll be difficult, but he trusts you, and you two can work together to make this a success."

Do you:

A. Agree to this plan.
B. Tell him it's too risky, and you should focus on investigating the council members guilty of conspiracy to broker an appeal.

>>26520512
>>26520522

Alright. Then who is the new head honcho of their clan? And if Ebon-Claw was not working in-sync with the former Matriarch, who gave the orders to him?

Or it could be that the orders were legit from the new top brass, but they also arranged for Ebon-Claw to be silenced or arrested by framing him for our 'murder.'

Fucking Night-Prowlers, man.

>>26520624
A

>>26520624
A, but ask him what his plan actually is. he knows best here, all we do is kill things and be cunning

>>26520624
>A. Agree to this plan.
He's probably being tortured right now.

>>26520624
>A. Agree to this plan.
Dude's playing us for all we are worth, but extracting Quick-Shadow takes precedence.

>>26520624
B. I don't trust him.

We need dirt on the other council members.

>>26520624
B. He's getting something out of this.

>>26520648
>>A. Agree to this plan.

"Right. How do you propose we pull this off?" you ask.

"Well I still have a few warriors who answer only to me. The prison itself has several layers of security systems, but none which pose a challenge to someone of my skills. I shut down the alarms on the outside wall, and I have a few warriors make a distraction from the rear door. Then, we go in from the front, and overpower them."

He turns to you. "Do you have any friends in this city? Can bring some help?"

You answer:

A. No. Just my student, Sharp-Strike.
B. Yes, I have two more allies who came with me.
C. A few... but I'd rather not disclose their names.

>>26520715
C

>>26520715
C

>>26520715
>A. No. Just my student, Sharp-Strike.

Keep the number of allies we have in the dark.
They are conducting their own investigations, no need to compromise them.
And aren't we a bad enough Opredator to do this?

>>26520715
>A. No. Just my student, Sharp-Strike.

>>26520715
C

>>26520715
A. No. Just my student, Sharp-Strike.

I think we are being too trusting.

>>26520735
I'm changing my vote to A

>>26520819
Oops. Saw this too late. Can change. one sec.

>>26520841
>>A.

"Just my student, Sharp-Strike."

He looks at you for a moment, and after some pause, says, "Good enough. Should be sufficient."

He turns to a storage bin behind him and pulls out two small cubes. He hands them to you. "Here," he tells you, "keep this on you at all times. It kills the signal from the trackers in your badge, so they can't track you. Now go. We don't have much time!"

After you take the cubes, he bids you farewell and escorts you out.

You head through the secret door way and upwards, making your way back to the spectator area.

Do you:

A. Go back and continue to watch the match.
B. Find a quiet spot and examine the cubes.
C. Find a quiet spot and tell the plan to Ashen-Blade.
D. Go survey the prison.

We should speculate as to Ebon-Claw's motivations.

He seems to want to know where the Matriarch is. Why? What has he to gain from this?

>>26520857
>B. Find a quiet spot and examine the cubes.

>>26520857
>C. Find a quiet spot and tell the plan to Ashen-Blade.

We need someone to bail us, if ever Ebon-Claw decides to stab us in the back.

>>26520857
B

>>26520857
>B

This reeks. It's way too convenient.

>>26520863
She was voted out. Revenge seems unlikely. A shadow war, perhaps? Something to put their Clan back on even footing?

>>26520857
B make sure it isn't a bomb or something.

>>26520857
B

>>26520920
>> B. Find a quiet spot and examine the cubes.

You cut across a few empty training areas along the outskirts of the arena until you find a quiet spot. You take the small cubes and examine them. You're not able to gleam much just by looking at it, but a few moments of analysis with your wrist-computer's signal scanner shows no traces of outgoing transmissions, making them unlikely to be trackers or bugs.

Do you:

A. Keep them with you.
B. Stash them in your dormitory.

>>26520960
>Shows no traces of outgoing transmissions.

Neither do IEDs.

Fuck. A, I guess.

>>26520960
A, but before we do anything after we go back we leave them in the dorm

>>26520960
A

>>26520960
>A. Keep them with you.

>>26520960
A He wouldn't screw us with his own ass on the line right?

>>26521060
>>A. Keep them with you.

You stash the two small devices in your belt pouch.

Where do you go next:

A. Go back to the spectator's area and watch the matches.
B. Get Ashen-Blade on the comms and tell him the plan.
C. Go and take a survey of the prison.
D. Head back to your dormitory and listen for anything of interest on the bugs you planted last night.

>>26521087
B, and A

>>26521087
B

>>26521087
B

>>26521087
Don't use the comms. I think the cube might be some sort of recording device.

>>26521087
D.

>>26521136
Lure him into a false sense of security? Fuck, I don't know.

>>26521087
Changing vote to D. I want to know if Death-Giver knows anything about Ebon-Claw.

>>26521245
D

>>26521136
>>B.

You bring up Ashen-Blade on comm, and tell him in great detail of what just transpired. He listens carefully, and is silent until you tell him about Sword-Dancer being in charge of the prison.

"Sword-Dancer? That's interesting. I was scoping out the gathering at the Hall of Ceremonies last night. Most of the ruling council showed up. Death-Gifter. Keen-Mark. Dark-Shroud. You know who wasn't there? Sword-Dancer."

"Maybe because he had a prison to watch over," you suggest.

"Possible... I wasn't able to hear much of what they said, but on the way out, Death-Gifter referred to Sword-Dancer as 'a problem'. Doesn't seem like they get along."

You keep this in mind, and finish your narration.

Ashen-Blade considers this for a while. "Ebon-Claw. That's a new name to me. Something doesn't seem right. Why would he think the Matriarch is out to get him? I'm not convinced by his leap of logic. But he's right about one thing - we should break Quick-Shadow out." He pauses for a moment. "Do you trust him?"

A. "Only as far as I can reach with my combi-stick... but for the moment, I think we have a mutual goal. I think we can count on him for tonight."
B. "No. He's a snake. He'll stab us in the back, count on it.'
C. "I'm not sure. He has his own motivations, to be certain, but for the moment, he seems to want what we want."

>>26521275
B

>>26521275
A. we be careful, and i want overwatch with a big gun pointed at him, at all times.

>>26521275
B. This guy is a veteran. He has been dealing with this shady shit since before we were born.

>>26521275
B

>>26521275
C and A are kind of the same, so one of each I suppose.

>>26521308
You don't get to be a veteran by double-crossing everyone you meet. No allies = dead.

He's got his goals. For now, they're aligned with ours. Keep him on a long leash and do what >>26521299 says.

>>26521275
A.

>>26521275
B

>>26521308
>>B.

"No. He's a snake. He'll stab us in the back, count on it," you tell him.

"Right. My thoughts exactly. We play along, then react. Does he know about us?"

"No. I told him it's just me and Sharp-Strike."

"Good. Let me discuss this with Steel-Arrow. We'll go scope out the prison now. Any suggestions on what our plan is tonight?"

You say:

A. "Any chance you can get your hands on some heavy weapons? A few plasma casters will come in handy. We didn't exactly come here armed."
B. "Best you two find a good place near the prison. Travel light. Don't get discovered, and be on over-watch. Prepare for anything."
C. "Any chance you two can get your hands on a shuttle? In case we need to get out in a hurry?"

>>26521423
A.

What are our current armaments, OP?

>>26521423
A and B. get him to have a big gun trained on our new friend at all times. he may be a snake, but we have mutual goals

>>26521434
Wrist blades, combi-stick, and a few drone mines.

So just our personal weapons.

>>26521449
Because I'm a filthy casual, I presume our cloaking device is included in this? Or no?

>>26521423
A and B sounds good.

>>26521423
how big is a plasma caster?

>>26521463
Yes. We do have the cloak.

>>26521479
About this.

>>26521423
C. We will probably have to leave immediately.

>>26521491
ok, do what >>26521442 said, get them and get ashen to keep overwatch

>>26521509
Way too conspicuous. Something goes wrong, all they have to do is look for ships fleeing the scene.

>>26521423
B.

>>26521423
A and C.
Carry a big gun.
Always have an escape plan.

>>26521442

>>A and B.

"Any chance you can get your hands on some heavy weapons? A few plasma casters will come in handy. We didn't exactly come here armed."

"Shouldn't be a problem. There's a thriving black market here, it turns out. Shouldn't be surprised, it is the Night-Prowlers after all. I can get a few things, but keep it to a minimum; don't want to raise any suspicions. What did you have in mind? Name it and I can probably get it."

A. "Get us a pair of high calibre spear guns with long range optics.
B. "Four standard plasma casters. One for each of us."
C. "Bombs. Enough explosives to level a palace."

>>26521574
B.

>>26521574
The third one really appeals to me, but since this is an extraction...

>A and B
Pair of (or just one) long range, pair of casters for close work.

>>26521614
ill second this, 3claw and SS can take the casters, and our backup can take the spear guns

>>26521574
Can we do a mix? Like 2 spear guns and 2 casters?

>>26521574
A and B. the overwatch gets spearguns, we get casters. can we contact old boy and get him to finance this, in mutual interests?

>>26521574
A.

>>26521574
B.

>>26521618
>>26521614

>>A & B

"How about two plasma casters and two high calibre spear guns with long range optics? Think you can get that?"

"Shouldn't be a problem. I'll get on it."

"Right. I'll swing by the arena once I get them. We'll scout out the prison and see what the security is like."

He bids you farewell, and closes the comm.

You return to the spectator area to find Sharp-Strike waiting for you. He has finished both his matches. He won both.

The two of you head back to the dormitory and you brief him on everything that's happened.

Suddenly, one of your trip-wire alarms is triggered, as your window slides open. You quickly spin around to find Ashen-Blade on the other side. He tosses you two plasma casters.

"Right. Got the spear guns as well. We checked out the prison. Security looks to be pretty heavy. At least a dozen warriors patrolling just the front gate. Where do you want us?"

A. "Get on the streets find a nice corner near the front gate. Shadow us in once we crack the gate."

B. "Find a vantage point - somewhere high up - and watch over us."

C. "Don't worry about us. Keep Ebon-Claw in your cross hairs. Just stick to him constantly, and don't let him out of your sights."

>>26521742
B

>>26521742
>B.
And a good line of sight.

>>26521742
C.

>>26521742
C. Ebon Claw won. expect it

>>26521742
C

>>26521828
This.

I suspect we've been played. C.

What the hell are those cubes?

>>26521839
Oop, one more vote for C. I'll change.

>>26521857

>>C.

"Don't worry about us. Keep Ebon-Claw in your cross hairs. Just stick to him constantly, and don't let him out of your sights."

"Right, don't you worry. We'll be on him." he responds.

"Three-Claw? Uh, can you look at this?" Sharp-Strike directs your attention to his wrist computer. "I was looking over the transmitter logs... you know, ah, from Death-Gifter's house. Found a transmission of tonight's patrol orders for the city guard."

You scrutinize the orders. You realize the orders call for almost triple the amount of guards covering the patrol area. Last night, it was 5 guards. Tonight, it will be 14. The order contains no explanation for the change in patrol patterns, and a quick scan through the rest of the transmitter log reveals nothing.

"This can't be a coincidence," Ashen-Blade mutters." He looks up at you. "What do you think?"

Say:

A. "This complicates matters too much. I will contact Ebon-Claw; we postpone it for tonight and move it till tomorrow."
B. "We'll let Ebon-Claw deal with it. Nothing changes. We need to get Quick-Shadow out. The Night-Prowlers aren't squeamish about torture, and every day counts."

>>26521872
Edit:

Should read to "Patrol area" to mean "area around the prison".

>>26521872
Rjrhghbhg. 2spooky4me.

>>26521872

>>26521872
We can't let them know we bugged Death-Givers house.

B.

>>26521872
Playing intensifies.

Ebby tipped off the guards that something big was going down and then comes to us to facilitate said big event.

We bite it, our Clan loses face, his Clan regains political power and position.

Cut and dry. Geek this fuck and blast off of this rock.

B.

>>26521872
B

>>26521872
>B.
Don't let them in on the fact that we got Death-Gifter's house bugged.
And I think we figured out who Ebon-Claw works for now, since he's the only one we told about springing out Quick-Shadow.

Damn it. What are the cubes. Brainstorm.

Perhaps they activate an alarm in the prison.

>>26521950
Bombs.

He can kill us and the guy we're trying to save and make it look like an accident. He'll probably write it off as some treachery of our Clan.

>>26521872
B, ask him what the cubes are, if he recognises them or what they could be

>>26521950
Maybe... we could try eating them. Our digestive system shall find out.

>>26521942
>>B.

"We'll let Ebon-Claw deal with it. Nothing changes. We need to get Quick-Shadow out. The Night-Prowlers aren't squeamish about torture, and every day counts."

You pause for a moment. "Though it is rather suspicious that Death-Gifter somehow knew about the plans." You suddenly recall seeing Death-Gifter's shuttle parked in the plaza.

You turn to Ashen-Blade. "When you passed through the plaza, just now, did you see a fancy shuttle parked in the corner?"

"No," he answers.

"Must have left then." You quickly comb through the transmitter logs from his shuttle, but find nothing apart from small talk with the pilot.

It's nearly time to meet Ebon-Claw to launch the operation.

You take out the two cubes you stashed in your pocket. You show them to Ashen-Blade, and ask him if he knows what they are.

"No. Never seen them before. Will need to try taking one apart to find out, though the last time we tried something similar didn't go so well, if you'll recall."

Do you:

A. Leave them in the dormitory for later.
B. Attempt to pry one open. (DC: Hard)
C. Take them with you.

>>26522015

>>B. Attempt to pry one open. (Success! vs. DC 17)

You carefully lay one of the cubes down on a flat surface. Ashen-Blade hands you a small set of probes from his belt.

You carefully pry off the top cover to reveal the sensitive circuitry underneath.

You put on your vision mask and give it a careful scan. You identify several key components - including a signal squelcher and filter. So far it looks exactly as advertised - a scrambler that suppresses signals of a certain frequency, such as those found on your trackers.

However, there appears to be something else, underneath. You carefully strip away the circuitry to find a second panel underneath. You insert a probe near the edge. Suddenly, a miniature mechanical spring goes off. By sheer luck or reflex, you quickly press the probe against the spring and push it back.

"Mechanical tamper detection trigger," Ashen-Blade tells you. "Works even when unpowered. Good thing you caught it. Fast hands. Good work."

You continue your probing, and lift the second panel. You find a small sphere underneath. You open it to find a core lined with a touch of plastic explosives surrounded by darts, the tips of which are poisoned.

You've seen this before - on the dead agent. It triggers, detonates the explosive, shoots off the pins, and kills its victim by fast poison.

You carefully put it down.

Do you:

A. Remove the poison sphere from both cubes and put them back together, then carry them on you.
B. Leave them in the dormitory.
C. Confront Ebon-Claw about this.

>>26522287
A then C.

Geek this motherfucker.

>>26522287
A.

>A. Remove the poison sphere from both cubes and put them back together, then carry them on you.

Confront Ebon-Claw AFTER we get Quick-Shadow out.
And keep a recording device for the inevitable betrayal.

Don't tell him. We lose the advantage that way.

A That dirty son of a bitch. I'm going to enjoy killing him after he tries to betray us and finds out we outsmarted his little device.

>>26522315
>>A.

You carefully remove the poison sphere from the cube and stash it into a small box, and assemble the cube back together.

You take the other cube and do this same - this time avoiding triggering the spring all together.

You turn to Sharp-Strike. "It's time."

Ashen-Blade bids you to be cautious. "This won't be the only trip up his sleeve. Be ready for anything."

You stand up, take the plasma casters, and head off to meet Ebon-Claw.

thank you for running, predquest brightens my nights

>>26522287
Let this be a lesson to those that trusted Ebon-Claw earlier.

>>26522431
Good.

>>26522494
I never trusted him in the first place. We merely needed a chance to outplay him (and what a chance we got!).
If it meant playing by his hands for a while, so be it.

>>26522431
Looking forward to the next thread.

Next thread we should take the poison spheres and plant them on him.
