An agreement reached, Mahana bows his head and you do the same. You'd shake hands on it, but he doesn't have any. “Well, this has been an extremely productive evening. Perhaps the most I've gotten done in a single night in a long, long time.”

The Cat sprawls out, making itself comfortable. “Indeed.” His voice thunders. “Truthfully I am merely enjoying the space. The caves were terribly cramped. Expansive though they were, I could never escape a sense of claustrophobia. A sense that I must escape and conquer. Here, the desire is not nearly so strong. I have room to stretch my legs, to exert my influence without looking abroad. It is wonderfully relaxing.”

Huh, you wouldn't have figured that spirits got claustrophobic, or the urge to conquer their neighbors. Then again you didn't know much about spirits until recently. “Anyway, I suppose I'm owed an artifact? I did just help you conquer Anthus, or the fief which corresponds to Anthus. I still don't fully understand how areas within this spirit realm correspond to areas in the mortal coil.”

The Cat spirit raises his head to look at you, you think it's grinning. “Oh? I don't recall any stipulation that our new agreement would apply retroactively.”

Is this asshole serious? After all you've done for him he's going to screw you over like this? You open your mouth to speak, but you're interrupted by a low, rumbling laugh. “Relax.” The Cat's voice rings out. “I merely wished to see how you'd react. Do you have something in mind?”

You breathe out a sigh, the tension draining from you. You wouldn't have put it past the Cat to pull something petty like that, honestly he'd have you by the balls since you didn't specify that the agreement applied retroactively. Maybe you've simply garnered enough good will with the spirit that he's willing to cut you some slack?

Regardless, you turn your thoughts to artifacts. A few ideas flash through your head; something to enhance your Fire magic, some sort of ring to drain the excess energy the Entity is feeding on, boots to assist you in traversing difficult terrain, but in the end you simply shake your head. “I've got a few ideas, but I need time to think it over. Tell me, how can I contact you should I decide upon an artifact?”

The cat spirit lays back down, relaxing. “Merely kneel before one of my shrines and focus your thoughts. I will hear your request, and fulfill it to the best of my abilities.”

Seems simple enough. “In the mean time, could you take a look at some of my artifacts?” You reach into your bag, withdrawing the shell of what had once been a gauntlet, but would now cover the whole of your arm. “I'm mainly interested in this, but if you could take a look at my pendant as well I'd be grateful.”

Mahana cast a brief glance in your direction before letting his many eyes slip closed. “The gauntlet enhances Earth magic, and seems to use a fraction of the power channeled through it to fuel its own purposes. It seems to be restoring itself, regrowing. Healing might be a better term.” His mouth stretches wide in a yawn, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, only to snap shut a moment later. “The pendant seems like some sort of seed. I couldn't tell you what will sprout from it, unfortunately. I just know it's intended to grow into its host and feed off their reserves, based on the enchantments placed on the gem.”

You really don't like the sound of that. A seed? What sort of plant grows out of a gem? It would explain the variable length of the spikes which surround it though. The spikes are probably roots, or something like that.

We've already got the glove for that. I'm more interested in getting a ring to repurpose the essence the Entity is feeding on for our use. How this is works is
1) Our body constantly produces Vys
2) When empty, there is no excess. When full, the entity gets excess to forge upon.
3) Ring takes the excess that would occur when we're topped off for us.
4) Items that "overcharge" us, like the Warlock armor, also feed the essence extractor. This means we get +2 Vys per hour at maximum vys stores.
5) Entity gets starved of Vys, we get extra Vys and to wear our Warlock armor with less/no ill effect.

Essence extractor can also come with another minor bonus, such as gathering ambient Vys or giving an elemental bonus (+2 to fire or earth). Essence ring is way better than boots. We'll also have to take off our boots on the Warlock armor to use it, and can't wear it with the Centurion armor at all. Ring has more utility+adaptability.

I agree, anon ring is the best thing we can do.
Especially if you guys want to go into the jungle to get the compass to find the stone faster. The ring will help buy us more time by keeping the entity at bay.
Also with our other ring. It would keep our sanity getting lower and lower. Better helping the entity from lashing out and doing something.

You caught me

So should we keep feeding the plant and let the gauntlet become armour?

>>40478139
We should give it to Prof.

>>40478139
Yes, because it is useful as fuck and no.

>>40478186
Why no on the armour?

>>40478139
Let's fee the seed when it's not on someone and let it "sprout" on it's own. I still don't think that the gauntlet is going to harm us so i say we keep using it.

>>40478139
I personally think feed gauntlet fuck the seed, I bet it's going to connect to us in a similar way prophet(messiah?) robes would have.

>>40478201
Becasue it already fulfills its purpose as a gauntlet and I am afraid having it as a full on armor will fuck Mik over.

>>40478215
We can always just not wear it and feed it Vys while not touching it. Thus not letting it implant itself in us. Then see what it sprouts into.

>>40478236
You seem to have missed this part of somas post
>I just know it's intended to grow into its host and feed off their reserves, based on the enchantments placed on the gem.
Grow into the host, I WONDER WHAT THAT IMPLIES

>>40478233
How? Whenever the stooges offer us an item there's always one of them that doesn't harm us. And it seems as though this is that one.

>>40478257
That's why we never let it touch us. Put vys into it remotely so it cannot grow into us.

>>40478272
Soma has specifically said that EVERY item the stooges offer has a catch.

>>40478332
Yes a catch. But the others harmed us while the cloak had us do something for it. This will probably be the same. It'll have a price but it won't harm us directly.

>>40478369
Yes let's wear sentient armour which will take over our body. Let's also wear sentient gem which will take over our body. All the while wearing cloak with sentient inhabitant which will take over our mind.

>>40478369
Cloak has basically been confirmed to be corrupting Mik.

You glance towards the various doorways branching off of the throne room, and the hallways they lead into. “So how exactly do I go about traveling through your realm? For instance, how would I get to the Academy of Anthus from here?”

The cat's voice, sounding almost half asleep, rolls through the throne room. “You will know it, when you find it. So long as you focus on a destination and keep walking you'll eventually reach that destination. If you find yourself surrounded by blank books and vermin, you'll know you've found the Academy. If you find yourself in a cave with a well of power, you've gone too far. Oh, and when you wish to exit just will it to be so.”

You think you've finally asked all the questions you wanted to ask. Standing, you roll your shoulders. As you're about to walk away one more thought occurs to you. “Actually, you never told me. Where am I supposed to find the Armor of Al-Hikar? What does it look like?”

The cat cranes its neck to look at you. “Hmm, I would've thought it self explanatory. The Al-Hikar dynasty founded the city which came to be called Hiacia. Hikar, Hiacia, you mortals have never been particularly good at remembering your own languages. Regardless, it ought to be stored somewhere within the city. So far as I recall it was light armor, heavily enchanted. I recall it could be shaped by the wearer into a number of different configurations for different purposes. I'm sure it ought to be fairly self evident, should you find it.”

Before you leave you walk up to the Cat Spirit where he's sprawled himself out on his raised platform. You bury your hands in his mane, finding the hair surprisingly soft. For a creature covered in scales, with five eyes and two rows of massive teeth, his fur is marvelously silky.

The Cat spirit purrs loudly, for the duration of your attention. As much as you'd like to pet the Cat further, you have places to be and things to do. You set off down one of the hallways and simply keep walking at a steady pace. The halls are largely blank, or lightly decorated. Occasionally the marble walls fall away to reveal a pitch white sky, spirits flitting through the air. You pass through subterranean caves and through rooms holding strange devices. Eventually you reach veritable forest of bookshelves, strange creatures lurking amongst the stacks.

Cat bro the softest and fuzziest.

1. get to the Shah and get rights to buy land
2. buy cheap farmland(which is cheap due to the scarcity/price of water)
3. while our father and SK works on the water plant we can either start by getting our GM robes or start by traveling to buy wood which we for the most part use to build up our own fleet but can also be sold to finance the purchase of even more farmland(personally i'd like to buy it all for maximum money gains and pop growth)
4. finance SK anti air research for dragon protection
5. ???
6. profit

You focus, and feel a wave of disorientation and nausea wash over you. It's suddenly hard to breathe, the air being sucked rapidly from your lungs. Every time you try to inhale an ache spreads through your chest, and black creeps in around the edges of your vision.

Then all at once there's a rush of air and you find yourself standing in the foyer of the Academy. Your first instinct is to gasp for air, but when you try you find that you don't actually need to. Perhaps the asphyxiation was all in your head? Regardless, you don't seem to have drawn attention to yourself. At this hour, the Academy is practically abandoned. You can hear pages turning in the library, and there are a handful of guards standing by the door. If they haven't noticed you, your manifestation must be silent, or at least very quiet.

As soon as you take a step forward the room starts to spin, and you stumble. You manage to steady yourself against a pillar but you were only moments away from falling face first into one of the decorative pools which line either side of the room. After a few minutes the disorientation passes and you feel confident enough that you step away from the pillar, heading towards the Faculty Quarters near Hayes' Workshop.

As you pass into the hall which runs past the guest quarters and the student dormitories, you hear giggling. It sounds like a handful of individuals, whispering amongst themselves and admonishing each other to be quiet only to break the silence themselves a moment later. It sounds like they're just ahead of you, around the corner.

You crouch just slightly, taking a few careful steps forward. The sound of your footsteps echo quietly each time you set down your foot, causing you to wince, but an idea occurs to you. Setting your foot down heel first you roll your foot forward carefully, rather than walking on the tips of your toes. It manages to reduce the noise you make when you walk, allowing you to creep around the corner undetected.
>Congratulations! You've earned the Light Step trait.

You spy six girls, huddled together opposite the double doors leading into Hayes' workshop. You manage to press yourself against a pillar close enough to the group that you can make out their whispered conversation. One of them, the ring leader, seems to be trying to talk someone into stealing something. “...will know! Just do it, it's supposed to help you learn Water magic!”

The other girl seems reluctant. “You said we were going to spar.” She states, voice impassive. “I do not wish to endanger my enrollment here after I've only just been accepted.”

Wait a second, that's Aylin's voice! Just what sort of crowd has she fallen in with? Worry sits heavy in your chest, you know from first hand experience that many of the artifacts displayed in Hayes' workshop can be dangerous.

The other girl starts speaking again, her tone annoyed. “Why do you even want to spar? What's the point? It's not like you'll have to fight anyone after you become a Vatis.” That's laughably incorrect. There are a dozen times you can think of off the top of your head where knowing how to fight would've made your life much simpler. “The crazy guy who runs the workshop already went home, we saw him leave. Just sneak in, lift the glass, and grab the vial.”

(1/2)

There's a pause, a few other voices speaking up to egg Aylin on. Eventually her voice cuts through the quiet din. “Fine, if it will truly help me as you say it will I'll steal it. Then you will tell me-”

The other girl cuts her off. “Yeah, yeah, I'll tell you whatever you want to know. We'll be waiting for you! Good luck!”

Why are robots falling over so hilarious?

You channel Fire magic, forcing yourself to fade from visibility. You carefully creep out from behind the pillar, your footsteps barely making a sound as you sneak across the hall in plain sight of the five girls and Aylin. You come to a stop just in front of the doors to Hayes' workshop, planting yourself firmly in front of them.

As Aylin draws near you slowly shift the flow of Fire magic. You shimmer into view, or rather, a twisted version of you shimmers into view. Foot long talons on each hand, and pale grey skin. Your legs are twisted things, the flesh rotting and patches falling away to reveal twitching muscle beneath. Your body is hunched forward, your back a writhing mass of black tentacles. Your jaw has fallen off and in place of your tongue a massive tentacle bulges forth, tipped with a gaping teeth-lined maw.

You raise one of your clawed hands, to reveal a blood-shot eye, then tense your throat to alter the tone of your voice. When you speak it echoes through the vast emptiness of the hall, warbling and hoarse. “Your foul intentions have not gone unnoticed by the world beyond.” You intone ominously. “This doorway is protected, and I am its guardian. For inciting the wrath of my masters, I must see to your demise.”
>Congratulations! You've earned the Spoopy trait!

(1/3)

A high pitched screech shatters the silence of the hallway, one of the girls immediately bolting towards the staircase. Three others follow behind her a moment later. As the first bounds up the stairs and disappears around the corner, you channel vys to make it appear as if blood spatters against the wall only a moment later, her severed head tumbling down the stairs. The other two girls stop in their tracks, quickly turning to run the opposite direction. You channel vys, and a wall of fire roars into existence. It's fire without heat, giving off little more than light, but it serves to do the trick. You hear one of them slump to the ground a moment later, apparently having feinted. Another starts to sob loudly. The third seems paralyzed by fear.

The leader has managed to force her legs to move and made a break for the faculty dormitories. Just as she reaches the door you channel fire magic, causing the handle to heat up rapidly. As her hand makes contact she yelps, jerking it away, and instead starts to pound on the door while crying out desperately for help. Quite bothersome, really. Using illusions you have it appear as though a face forms itself from the wood, sliding towards the girl with a wicked grin. Her voice dies in her throat, and she trips over herself in her attempts to flee. She smacks against the cobblestones hard, doing her best to scrabble backwards, but she's getting nowhere quickly.

Leaving only two girls still standing, Aylin and some other girl you don't recognize. The latter is simply standing, her entire body shaking in fright. Aylin stands her ground firmly, fist clenched and jaw set. The color has drained from her face and you can see moisture beading at the corners of her eyes but she stands firm. As you take a step towards her, she swings her fist at you wildly.

(2/3)

You manage to catch her arm without much trouble, the various illusions you'd been maintaining vanishing in an instant to reveal you in your tattered, dirty clothing grinning the biggest shit eating grin in recorded history. Aylin's face flashes through a range of emotions; anger, confusion, relief, and fear most recognizable amongst them. Eventually she seems to settle on embarrassment, her eyes casting downwards to stare at her feet.

The other girl that was paralyzed by fear has fallen to her knees and started sobbing, out of relief you think. The ring leader hasn't quite seemed to figure out what on Earth just happened.
