You decide to start with the rooms before you delve into the slave's passages. You head to the door at the end of the hall on your left, deciding to simply move left to right. Pushing the door open you find a long hallway lined with yet more doorways. You count nine in all, four on either side and one at the end. You sigh, walking along the hall and peeking into each room in turn.

Each of them is a separate bedroom, most of them torn up or otherwise ruined. Peeling wallpaper, ripped up floors, broken furniture, and shredded mattresses are the norm. You can't imagine why these rooms are in such terrible shape where as most of the others have been more or less fine. You note gouges, to you they resemble claw marks, covering the walls and doors in most of the rooms. Like they'd trapped a lion inside and it had attempted to escape.

You search a few of the rooms, but don't find much of note. A few books which are still legible but nothing useful, fantasy mostly. You find some gold-plated ornaments you could pawn off for a good price. Candelabras, a few small personal chest, and other such knick knacks. Of course, they'd only sell for what you'd consider pocket change.

You are surprised to find a stray cat inside one of the rooms, which sets to rubbing up against your legs quite happily. It's a fat old tom, likely living well off rats and other such vermin which have infested the place. You give it a pet before resuming your wanderings, amused to find the cat following you.

Having explored each of the rooms in turn, you make your way back to the top of the stairs and try the next door. In this one you find a fairly vast library, the ceiling made of vaulted glass. Papers are scattered all across the mosaic floor. There's a desk in the center, where a particularly ornate books sits as if for display. At the center is a keyhole, though you don't see any keys. It's bound by a dainty chain, you'd think you could break it easily enough. However, something tells you that's a bad idea. The entire book seems to hum with power, indicating it's likely enchanted. How this hasn't been stolen by some random bum is beyond you.

You tentatively run your fingers across the leather cover. An odd sensation begins to creep through your hand the longer you touch the book. A sort of uncomfortable tingling, like your hand is asleep. You draw it away after a short while, and the sensation gradually fades.

You make note of the book with the intention of swinging by later; once you're more confident that the place is actually abandoned and you're certain that this isn't some sort of test or other such nonsense. You take a quick look around the rest of the library, finding a number of magical tomes. Most of them are basic treatises on magic that you've already read, but a few look interesting. You really will need to swing back through here on your way out the place.

You pause at the door which leads back into the hall, pulling the staff from your cloak. The fat tom has taken a seat in front of you and set to lazily cleaning itself. You channel just a touch of vys into the staff and the entire room is cast in a bright green glow.

There are various outcroppings of darker green highlighted by the staff. Plant life. It might just be your imagination but you seem to be seeing more detail than you used to when you used the staff. You can even make out the individual leaves on a potted fern, rather than it just being an indistinct glob. You cast the staff around a few times, turning it towards the other rooms. You see a few rats scurrying about, a bunch of what you think are probably insects throughout the place. Spiders, roaches, other such pest.

The book glows as well, oddly enough. You hadn't thought the book alive. Yet another reason to swing back and pick it up later. The rest of the place seems more or less abandoned, though you did notice a number of other bright points of light and a whole bunch of them beneath you somewhere, as well as one far above. You figured it for a bird, but it was stationary. The ones below you were moving about, though so far as you know the only thing that should be beneath this place is stone. Perhaps fish?

(1/2)

As you cut off the flow of vys and the world returns to normality, a thought occurs to you. The cat didn't glow green as all living things should. Yet it sits before you, content as ever. Still cleaning itself. You stare at it warily, recalling the claw marks gouged into the walls of those bedrooms. If it's not alive... well, you're not really sure what it might be. Do spirits count as living creatures? You suppose you've never really found out. Spirits are usually fairly self-evident regarding their nature.

You stare at the cat for a time. It continues to lick itself. You try waving, but it ignores you. You're not really sure what to think of it, at this point. All the spirits you've met so far have been sort of vaguely humanoid and every one of them could speak coherently. With the exception of Ricky, that is. Then again, you don't suppose Ricky is technically a spirit. He's a void creature.

You banish such thoughts, focusing on the task at hand. Hesitantly, you clear your throat and address the animal. “Hello, uh. Kitty?” It pauses in the midst of licking its thigh, giving you a vaguely annoyed look. “How about Spirit then?” It resumes licking itself, which you suppose you can take as a good sign. “Can you talk?”

It utterly ignores you. Just keeps licking itself. Perhaps you're merely seeing what you'd like to see, but it seems intelligent to you. It just doesn't seem like it wishes to have anything to do with you. “Is this your house? It's quite large for such a small cat.” Once more, no response is given. You're starting to feel like an idiot talking to this cat. “You're not alive, apparently. Why is that?”

You wait several minutes while the cat cleans itself. You get no response, even after its finished. It just stares at you. You do note something odd, though. The cat has a person's eyes instead of the usual slit pupils. It's a bit unsettling, now that you've noticed it.

>The cat has a person's eyes instead of the usual slit pupils.

You reach into your cloak and withdraw a strip of dried fish, tuna you think. To be honest you're not certain. The cat perks up its ears, staring at the morsel hungrily. You wave it about briefly before offering it to the animal. It sniffs it suspiciously before snatching it from your fingers. It rubs against your hand and spend a few moments petting it. It isn't long before the cat has rolled over onto its back to let you give it a belly rub.

Satisfied, you stand up straight. You're probably not going to get anything from this cat but at least it doesn't seem like it's going to maul you or anything like that. You open the door and step into the hall beyond. The cat follows you out the door, weaving between your legs to trot out ahead. It sits down, waiting by the next door in your rotation. One of the two doors directly in front of the two staircases which lead up the balcony.

You watch the cat warily while you grab hold of the handle, finding the door unlocked. As it swings open, you find yourself in a fairly massive room. It's in pristine condition, well everything save the carpet that is. A stained glass window allows beams of red, yellow, blue, and green light to dapple the hardwood floors. Bookcases stretch into the blackness of the ceiling, and a desk sits opposite the two doors into the room. You suppose both central doors lead into this room.

To the left of the desk is a golden mirror, polished to a shine. To the right is a ladder stretching up into the black of the ceiling. The desk is strewn with papers, and the shelves are filled with more books than you could ever imagine reading. You note with some curiosity that there is no way to actually get behind the desk without simply leaping over it. It presses against the wall on both sides.

And when next an innocent comes along adventuring into the library they'll come across a book on the floor surrounded by dark black brown stains of old dried blood, but they won't know its blood, and they'll pick up the book and be confused at the crimson luminescence of the words written on page, though all the words are cries for help.

And as he turns the page, he sees a depiction in this same bright crimson ink of an elegantly robed samja vatis who holds his face in hands who's screaming wordlessly at something behind the boy. A singular mewl from a hungry little feline is the last thing he hears before the grating cracks of his own breaking bones and his far too late scream.

You make your way hesitantly towards the mirror. Despite the high degree of polish, you can't see anything in its golden surface. You ought to be able to see the bookcases opposite the mirror, but it's just an opaque surface. You glance around, finding the cat sitting by your foot. It peers up at you, tail swishing impatiently back and forth. You pick it up gently, cradling it in your arms much the same as one would a infant.

Its purr is disproportionately loud and far deeper than it has any right to be, it seems to fill the room. You stare at it for a time, cautiously petting its belly. It writhes about, nuzzling its head into the crook of your arm. It doesn't attack you, so you step out in front of the mirror.

What you see is disconcerting to say the least. You see yourself garbed in nothing save the cloak, tentacles spilling out of it and ensnaring you. The largest one twist out of your chest and around your torso, eventually clamping onto your head and obscuring your eyes. Blood stains your right hand as well as your teeth, dribbling down the corner of your mouth. Other tentacles stretch out around you, seeming to infect the world around you.

You notice that the smaller tentacles actually have tiny hands on them, which grasp or caress everything they touch. You also note that your body seems oddly bulbous and lumpy beneath the cloak, warped somehow. You stare at your false reflection for a time, eventually noticing that the cat is nowhere to be seen. Your efforts to figure out what the hell it is have been thwarted.

The mirror is a trap, it didn't show the cat, but it showed all this void nonsense, so of course we'd try taking off the cloak because its making it look like the cloak is killing us slowly.

But that may simply just be what it's showing us to disconnect us from Ricky.

It's not killing us it's corrupting us.

You gently set the cat down, and it licks your hand before trotting off towards the desk. You consider perhaps removing your cloak, but a glance once more towards the mirror dissuades you. You wave an arm, and the image in the mirror fails to respond. You jump up and down, make various funny faces, and a few obscene gestures. Never does the image move. It's more like a portrait than it is the image in a mirror. Probably just a trick, designed to separate you from your most prized possession. You won't fall for it.

Safe in the knowledge that the cloak probably isn't actually corrupting you, you make your way towards the desk. You take a look at some of the various papers strewn across it, skim reading a few. The cat leaps up to sit on the polished wooden surface, watching you with its weird eyes. You try to ignore it, but it's difficult. The paper itself is uninteresting, a letter dated forty years ago relating to the invasion of an island called Megea by an unknown force of pirates and mercenaries.

That's odd, you don't really recall hearing anything about the Elven warlord that's been rampaging across Elven lands until recently. You suppose it makes sense, that he'd need to start somewhere. Still, to think his conquest has been going on for forty years and you didn't even know about it until you went north. You suppose you're out of the loop. You toss the letter away and take a look at some of the other things scattered about the desk. There's a candle burned down to a wax nub and a few books scattered about, but nothing of much note.

(1/2)

You sit down on the edge of the desk and swing your legs up and over, sliding across. Once on the other side you take a seat, making yourself comfortable. You find an array of drawers on this end, you're almost surrounded by them. You begin to sift through, looking for anything of interest. You find a dagger decorated with gold filigree. Not magical, but quite fancy. You also find tons of documents written in some sort of illegible chicken scratch not dissimilar to your father's own shorthand. You wonder if such things are common among Pidjatan nobles. You find an interesting necklace in one of the drawers, more of a pendant really. It's a simple leather strap with a polished steel medallion, a blue gem set in the center. You're not quite sure what to make of it, but it feels magical.

When you tug on one drawer, you meet resistance. It moves, but only if you really pull on it. You keep pulling until you hear a click, at which point there's a distant thud from somewhere above you. You jump, half expecting the ceiling to collapse. Instead the cat just starts purring again, hopping off the desk and wandering over to the ladder. You're disappointed to find that the drawer itself is empty.

How is a cat going to climb a ladder? It doesn't have hands or feet.

Cats don't care about us, they don't love or feel gratitude, they're certainly not gonna help us for some tuna and bellyrubs.

Soma basicaly told us with the mask saying.

This spooky death mask that reeks of ominous power that will corrupt your soul. Not even the insane guy will even touch this with his bare skin. Your companions are assuring you that when you turn into a demon attempt to slaughter everyone they will put you down quick.

Oh it understands alright, it just doesn't give a fuck/respect us enough to actually respond. Or rather, it's using its catlike appearance to trick us.

>>37121477
See those are justifications.

If you just list the facts it is clearer.

You stand up, leaving what you've found where you set it down. It takes only a moment for you to hop over the desk again and make your way towards the ladder. It's really odd that there isn't some way to get to the other side of the desk without going over. It just doesn't seem like a good design.

Regardless, you make your way over to the ladder and brace your foot against the lowest rung. You glance towards the cat, which continues to watch you expectantly. Its tail swishes back and forth impatiently. Damn it, you wish the thing would just talk already. You know it's intelligent. Regardless, you turn your attention once more to the ladder and start to haul yourself up, rung by rung.

It takes you a few minutes to climb all the way up the ladder, your arms and legs burning by the time you reach an opened hatch in the ceiling. You haul yourself up, sprawling out on the floor at the top to catch your breath. Gods, that seemed like a long climb. Still, you managed to reach the top without incident, that's a win in your book.

You feel something pressing against your chest, a shiver running up your spine. You crack open an eye, finding the cat curled up happily on your abdomen. It's purring quietly, one strange eye staring at you while the other remains closed. Its tail swats at your chest in irregular intervals. Of course the cat made it up the stairs. Why wouldn't it? You gently lift it off your chest and sit up, taking a look around your surroundings. You're in what seems to be a small landing, a stairwell leading up to a red velvet curtain above. You climbed all the way up here, so you may as well see what's on the other end.

(1/2)

>>37121548
In fact, we don't even know it in chracter.

You shoulder past the curtain easily enough to find a large room with yet more bookshelves coating the walls, a massive column dominating the center of the room at the top of which lies the largest telescope you've ever seen. Your old master had a small one that he mostly used to spy on his neighbors, but this one is a hundred times the size. A staircase twist around the column to a chair beneath the telescope, and a wooden hatch keeps a hole in the domed ceiling at the end of the telescope closed. Presumably it's for studying the night sky.

There's a small globe on the floor next to a table covered in star charts and cartographer's tools. The globe shows your homeland of El-Amin, along with a number of alien landmasses you don't recognize. Much of it is dominated by large swathes of “Terra Icognita”. Unknown Lands. Yet at the same time, much of it isn't. There's a vast island off the coast of Pidjata, well a few thousand miles off the coat, you can't recall seeing before.

The star charts are filled with random gibberish and dots connected by lines, meaningless to you. Some are recognizable constellations, but most seem to simply be abstract shapes. You glance at a few of the books lining the shelves, but they're written in a language you don't recognize. Most of the pages are yellowed with age, some of them are crumbling. Many are missing huge portions of their pages. They must be quite old indeed.
