/qst/ - Quests


The time has come once again. The weak will rise, overcome the obstacles in their way, and chase their dreams whatever they might be. In a land where adventurers roam, and kingdoms try to claw the earth for anything they can recover from ages left behind.

The first decision you must make, is what kind of monster you shall be.

>>Goblin: The once foot soldiers of the Dark Lord, twisted Fae creatures that once lived nomadic lives traveling between the Fae lands and the mortal kingdoms. The tribes, who stood as the connection between the two peoples, were kidnapped and corrupted until they became what they are today.

>>Fairy: the weakest of the Fae, the first children of creation and the once stewards of the world. Their king, Vlane, Sleeps due to a curse placed on him to end his attacks on the mortal kingdoms. Now the Fae are in the midsts of an eternal civil war, as only one of the royal line may lead the Fae and none have arisen yet.

>>Wisp: the weakest of the undead, lost souls who have almost forgotten who they are, cling to life as they Wander the world. Owing their existence to “She who Sleeps” the undead were a great threat in the Dark age, and seem to be growing potent once more.

>>Kobolds: Descendents of the great dragons of the first age, creatures who were the Primordial’s own power accidentally forming identities of their own before being slaughtered by the Fae in the war of creation. The Kobolds seek not only to return to the glory of their ancestors, but to also eradicate all the Fae out of a desire for vengeance.

Dron: Insect like creature who come from the magical wastes left from the Dark war, the Dron are the newest and least understood of all the monster. Able to rapidly adapt, and rumored to be able to eat anything, metal and magic alike, they are a rising threat to the Great races

>>4: Royal: You are a Dron of Royal breeding, and thus you are the creator of a hive. You can collect biomass to create eggs. The Biomass spent determines what sort of Dron will emerge.

Born as a common Dron, you eventually began to show as a potential Royal. While any Dron could become Royal, those born of this type have the easiest time with creating their own colony, where as most must marry into or take a colony for their own.

Now then, where does our story begin? Where do you find yourself?

You wake with a start, heat washing over your body as you dig yourself from beneath rock and sand. There is fire everywhere, and your memories are hazy. You smell death, fresh and old blood, and danger.

A screech in the sky is heard, and lightning strikes the clouds, the silhouettes of greater beings engaged in combat. Your gaze however is unable to linger on the skies, as the ground shakes. Something is nearby.

Critical Success!

+1 permanent Dexterity

As if it was the only thing your body was ever built for, you shot into a hiding place, digging yourself a small hole beneath the corpse of some large chitinous creature that seems vaguely familiar. You settled in, and look out, staying still and quiet as the chaos continues outside.

>Continued

>>2170610
From behind another fallen creature, something your instincts immediatly recognize appears.

>Princess

The Princess is wounded, bleeding on the ground and missing one of their arms. They fall into the clear you had awoken, gasping as they fearfully look around. You hear a pained voice calling out to you

>>Save you Princess, protect me...

It sounds desperate, like it was all she could think to do. A few tiny beetle like creatures, ones you recognize as your kind crawl out. A few are wounded, dragging themselves to her.

The body you are lying under seems to wriggle a bit.

You manage, as best as you can imagine, to close the distance between yourself and the princess, Other Dron being less hesitant as they scramble to her. The princess weakly watches as Dron workers like yourself crawl over her, a few going to her amputated arm and doing something to the bleeding stomp.

You are so distracted by both your target and the events around your You don’t notice a great shadow looming over you. The only thing that alerts you is the Princess herself, who lets out a loud Hiss

The voice rings in your head, forcing an instinctual control over your body. Your mandibles are ready to bite, and you are ready to charge. However, your higher brain fights. Long enough for it to not matter. The shadow glides over you, and you watch as the worker Dron jump towards a massive and terrifying creature.

It smelled not of your colony like the Princess, and it smashed and ripped apart the workers that attacked it as the Princess tried to stand and run.

She only makes it a few steps, before a glob of acid is spat onto one of her legs, which melts instantly and sends her to the ground, she letting out a screech of pain that is quickly Mirroed by one of the things hidden in the clouds.

The creature surges forward,
Leave half eaten and smashed workers to die as their bodies tried to move with whatever energy they had left. It surrounded the Princess, who was hissing at it as she tried to appear threatening.

The skies grew fierce, and you heard the wind screeching, the sound growing louder and louder.

With the creature’s attention on the Princess, you easily run away unnoticed, diving back into your whole as you hear the monster screech and attack

>PROTE-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

You here a a crunch as the voice sitters and dies in your head, feeling something disappearing from your mind as you turn and stare out the hole.

You watch as the creature’s teeth dig into the neck of the Corpse it had made, thrashing about violently as its pericing legs stabbed into the remaining leg. With a crunch and a ripping sound, the monster pulled with all its might and ripped the upper body from the lower, throwing the lower half out of sight over a pile of corpses as it bit more and more into its prize.

The wind grew louder, and what sounds like thunder in your ears was heard. Then a flash of purple was seen, and the monster seemed to simply...pop, spewing chitin and gore across the charred dirt.

Cont...
>>
>>2170672
>Queen

Your brain immediatly recognizes the form in front of you, an urge to surge out from your hiding spot and commit yourself to whatever she desired nearly breaking your will.

She stands...no, hovers above the stained earth, the blood and the gore retreating from her as she looked over the scene. She was panting, her body covered in cracks and blood seeping from cuts all over. However, she stands strong hovering over the corpse that was once her daughter.

You feel a wave of sadness flow over, a cool stream of sorrow filling your mind as you watch the queen crouch down and cup the cheek of the corpse gently.

Then, you feel your blood boil, rage filling your sense as your vision turns red.

So strong is this feeling, you instantly Attack the body above your hole, ripping a mouthful of meat and chitin and swallowing it whole.

[+1 Biomass]

When your sense return, you look back out of the hole and see the queen staring back at you, her hand at the mouth of the tunnel and beckoning you to come closer.

>>Do not be afraid. Come to me...

>Go to her?

>Stay?

>Dig a tunnel away?

>>2170679
>>2170685
You carefully climb out of your whole, skittering closer to her hand, until she gently scoops you up. Her scale immediatly registers as your body balances in her palm, her other hand gently gliding the tips of her fingers across your carapace.

>>You are different...You have a spark, just like I once developed...

She said, bringing you close to her face so she would stare into your eyes. You feel so small, not physicall, but in all ways possible you could perceive.

>>That spark made it possible for you to let my Daughter die...Let you choose to instead hide when she cried out.

There was an edge to the voice, one that tinted your vision red as the Queen’s anger seemed to briefly spike.

>>I do not blame you though...This is not how you are meant to first see the world. But there is not time. You must start anew. Find a way to survive, steal or make a colony of your own, whatever you do: Do not let your Mother be forgotten.

With those words, she tapped her finger between your eyes. Your body began to grow heavy, and your vision began to cloud.

>>Sleep through the nightmare, and find your dream

She lowers you back to your little hidey hole, your limbs turning to stone, as you spot something in the sky, and the wind began to screech once more.

>>Above all else, Kill the Prince of Blades

With that, your consciousness faded, and the last thing you see was your queen spinning to face the approaching enemy, and then blackness.

With a quick exertion of your little legs, you push your way to see the sun. Letting out a small squeek, you move out into the clearing, which wasn't so clear anymore. There were bits of chitin strewn around, with a familiar looking arm twisted horribly in a heap. The hands seemed big enough to hold you.

However, you don't really care much about corpses. You also notice that the bodies before seemed to have been mostly eaten, as Chitin seemed to only remain for the most part.

However, there were some small corpses that looked like you. They were pretty corpsey and untouched, except for flies and small creatures seeking to feed.

You scuttle over and begin to devour the corpse arm, briefly having an odd feeling of nostalgia as you bite and rip off one of the fingers. It takes you a bit, but you eventually consume the entirety of the arm, letting out a satisfied chitter as you lick the chitin clean.

(Obtained ten Biomass)

>>Unlocked: Hand: grow a pair of arms and hands to help grasp and move things easier. 10 Biomass

>>Unlocked: Mythic level: Queens Blade: Expend Biomass to fuel a blade made of energy, by passes most forms of armor and burns intensely. 2000 Biomass

With that dealt with, you turn to look at the other small corpses, but then pause. Something was wrong.

Unlike last time, you were quick to pay attention to what was occurring around you. The sound of flesh tearing and slurping fluids. There was another creature nearby, likely coming to the once battle field to scavenge just as you were.

It was nearby, and from the sounds of its growls and movements, it was much, much larger than your tiny self.

Deciding that the best way to evaluate the possible threat was to go and observe it. So with bravery beyond your size, you wandered towards the sounds.

Feast on a half eaten large corpse was something you for once didn't recognize, which usually meant to your knowledge that it wasn't from your colony or possibly any colony.

It seemed focused on its feeding, and has not yet noticed your existence.

With realative ease, you slink away from the creature and return to the clearing, but now notice that the sun is beginning to reach its highest point.

You hear noises in the distance, similar to the creature you saw before, but there is clearly more of them. The smell of the veritable feast must have attracted them to the area.

You hear a hiss of steam, and the rising temperature of the ground and air became clear to you. It was getting hotter and brighter.

Scuttling off on your search, you leave the clearing behind and hopefully on the path towards a greater bounty.

Passing by the empty shells of various creatures, all of whom seem familar like usual, you come across the remains of an even more familar corpse. You vaguely remember this creature asking for your aide in you head, but such details are hard to keep track of for a worker like yourself. So, you approach the corpse which consisted of a head and half a torso, where the cut was a tear diagonally from the waist to the right shoulder, leaving an arm. Truley a great harvest that would leave you well supplied with Biomass, maybe even olding a few adaptations like the arm corpse from before.

>W-worker....h-help me....pro....protect....me...

Voice, one you recognize. You look at the corpse's face, and notice it's gaze was fixed on you. This corpse was partially not a corpse, which is rather confusing but many things are for your kind.

The almost corpse' hand reach out, trying to grab hold of you weakly.

>S-save....me....

>Make the almost corpse a corpse and eat it?

>Almost corpse is not corpse, therefor keep looking?

>Use Almost corpse as bait?

>Help Almost Corpse?

Deciding the almost corpse gave you a head ache being both a corpse and not a corpse, you scuttle forward towards the creatures neck. The Almost corps elooks at you, their eyes weak as they watch you grow close and then when you have crawled onto them.

>H-help...me...

You look at the almost corpse for a second, before tilting yourself forward and beginning to rip into the unprotected neck of the almost corpse. There is a surge of movement, as the almost corpse tries to throw you off, its remaining hand hitting your shell weakly with all its strength, and scratching at your carapace.

>Tra-traitor...I-I wo...won't die here...

Her arm pushes itself under you, and tries to throw you off, the almost corpse letting out a low growl and a weak hiss out of anger.

With a firm grip, and the fact the almost corpse was effectively more corpse than not, you hold on and keep biting away, consuming bits of flesh so that they would not go to waste.

Eventually, the almost corpse stops moving, and stops being confusing. You feed on the corpse, feeding and feeding.

>>A cloaked figure. violet blades of glass. A hoard of mindless beasts.

You are enhulfed in the images, and you see Princesses fighting, then running as some of them fall to the cloaked figure. Princess on the floor. You feel pain for them. They are corpses....no, they are dead Princesses...

You look at the unmoving figure below you, the princess killed by you. It's an odd feeling, and you are able to finish but it feel odd to knowingly devour a princess that had been asking for your help.

>>Gained 5 Biomass.

There the sound of growls and movement, a fight is nearby. The larger scavengers must have smelt the fresh kill and must be on their way. They're fighting now, but there's no telling how soon they will arrive.

As you finish your meal, turning to scuttle away to find safety, a large predator pounced out from behind a mound of Chitin, bleeding wounds breaking its carapace but it’s maw covered in fresh gore.

Cont.
>>
>>2179297
The creature stands at about twice your height, and moves with precision, already strafing your movements so it can charge when you try to escape. On if it’s legs is wound, it being lifted up and forcing the other legs to compensate.

It’s carapace shifts colors from yellows to reds, occasionally taking on colors that make it blend into the back ground or make it seem like eyes and teeth have form, making it look more danagerous than it already did.

>Shhhka deksh nckt!

It chittered out, hopping forward a step in a threatening manner, it’s eyes glaring at you.

>>Stand and fight?

>>
>>2179313
>>>Stand and fight?
>>
>>2179314
>>2179316

The creature has some spikes on its body, commonly a deterrent for larger predators. It has eight legs, four on each side, with the front leg on the left side lifted up and tucked under the body.

It’s mandibles are clicking and appear pretty pointy. There are some wounds on its body, but it’s carrying itself as if it were at full strength.

It’s eyes, having 16 of them, likely give it pretty good perception.

Looking at the other legs, they appear to be holding more weight and thus there is a slight hesitation with each movement where the left side must perform any action. The legs look also under more strain than the right side, likely from having to hold more weight.

It’s possible that if the right leg was crippled, it would be considerably slowed or even topple over as its balance is ruined. It seems to either be unaware of the risk, or commiting to a strong front.

Success

You scuttle side to side, starting a small back and forth strafing dance with your opponent. You move right, it moves left, it moves right you move left. This goes on for a small time, as both you and your opponent wait for a window.

Suddenly, it hesitates on it’s movement, one of it’s left legs slower than needed and causing it to dip ever so slightly. You strike then.

Rushing forward you appear to charge it’s front, where it reads up so it’s front right leg is in the air, piercing point ready to smash down at you along with it’s fangs. Then, you hike left as it brings down the strike, barly avoiding the attack as it’s leg stabs through the dry earth.

With your window now a gaping hole in its defense, you lunges forward and bite it’s second left leg, you hearing a small crunch as your mandibles grip the limb.

Blood begins to spurt over the dirt, boiling quickly under the hot sun as the victim of your attack let out a screech and feel forward, two of its supports now gone. It tried to stand, but it flailed panicky as it tried to work through the pain and sudden light headedness.

Enemy is stunned.

With a sickening crunch, you shatter the carapace around your victims head, flooding your mouth with its essence as you spit out chunks of inedible chitin. The creature begins to violently spasm, falling on the floor as it’s limbs and body spastically move as electrical signals fire all over to somehow save the body. Then, the movements begin to slow, and eventually, after thrashing in the blood made mud, it became still, it slegs curling inwards as it laid on its side.

[Dron]: You are a Dron. You are able to survive the Arcane Wastes unhindered. You also gain access to the Biomass resources. Biomass is collected by devouring biological flesh, unless another effect says otherwise. Biomass can be spent to gain new abilities, improve stats, or change your body. Biomass degrades over time, consumed as food. You can spend Biomass by entering a chrysalis, which costs five Biomass to do.

>Worker: Your carapace gives you 5 armor, reducing incoming physical damage by five points.


>You have 20 Biomass stored

With that, you get to work, scuttling over and sinking your teeth into the side of the Princess you had been eating and dragging her over towards the now dead spider.

>You take 2 damage from the sun, as it is growing hotter.

You then turn and begin to chew your way into the spider's corpse, breaking chtin and tearing through the muscles. It takes time however, and your back burns further.

>You take two damage from the sun.

you finally force yourself into the corpse of the spider, and can barely move. Your body barely fits inside it, and you can feel your presence stressing the body.

However you can feel your body cooling, and yo uare surrounded by food so there's that.

You quickly make your way out of the corpse shelter and begin to dig as fast as you can, feeling your carapace rapidly heat up. You smell burning and cinder in the distance, as well as har other creature roaring in the distance.

You dig and dig and dig until you have clear enough dirt to fit into the earth with the carapace of the spider as your roof. Your littl ehole is cramped, but it will do, though you do not know how long it will take for the burning sun to cook through the spider's carapace.

You dig further into the earth, stopping when you feel the dirt becoming unsound. Being so deep, you are immersed in the cool and soft dirt that lay below the dried cracked ground. Deciding you would be safe for now, you curl your legs under your body, close your eyes, and begin to cacoon yourself.

Abilities:
[Dron]: You are a Dron. You are able to survive the Arcane Wastes unhindered. You also gain access to the Biomass resources. Biomass is collected by devouring biological flesh, unless another effect says otherwise. Biomass can be spent to gain new abilities, improve stats, or change your body. Biomass degrades over time, consumed as food. You can spend Biomass by entering a chrysalis, which costs five Biomass to do.

14+1=15

Remembering how you Enemy moved, and how they attacked, you think you’ve gotten a good idea on how to react and move around them.

>>Plus 2 Dex when dodging Arachnadron attacks

Finally, after much prep, you break out of your cacoon, and feel the cold air surrounding you.

>>You have woken up during the night. Sun is no longer a hazard.

You stretch your need appendages, as your body quickly shifts colors and patterns for the first time. Then, you look up to the burnt and cracked chitin fueling you had left behind.

On the surface, you could hear some faint far off noise.

>>Exit the hole?

>>Make noises to try and lure prey to your hole?

>>
>>2181225
>>2181233
You immediatly setcout to claim your next meal, scuttling your way out of the hole. When you touch your chitin ceiling, it disintegrates into ash.

With your only obstacle gone, you step out and look up at the dark sky. Stars as far as the eye could see, with great seas of purple and greens spreading like ink in water.

It’s almost stunning, but you quickly refocus and look around yourself. All the chitin that has once covered the area were now gone, likely turned to Ashe and blown away by the winds.

Focusing on the mission at hand, your body changes color and you begin to loudly vocalize into the night air.

Immediatly, you hear loud resonate clicks and snaps in the distance, almost like it was a conversation between to far off people.

>>Will is permanantly increased by 1

Almost effortlessly, you manage to spot three shapes slowly grow closer. They are about your size, maybe a bit smaller, but have obvious pincers, and seem to be chittering with one another as they cautiously approach your location.

>>2181242
11+8=19

Success

They don’t manage to spot you, and skitter close to five feet from you before stopping and confusingly looking around. They begin to chitter to each other.

You stay still, watching quietly as the three creatures chitter and converse, before the left one swipes at the middle one with a hiss.

The middle hisses back, then slowly begins to move forward, the curled back end seeming to flex and move. The other two creatures moved in other directions, their tails lifted up so the tip was pointed ahead of them.

This time, your attack smashes into your opponent, then forced your opponents head to smash into the earth below it, a splash of blood splashing across your claws.

>>Dealt Eight damage to the enemy. 11 damage total to Middle Enemy. Enemy is stunned again

The side enemies let out a chittered war cry as they lift their tails menacingly and charge for you, both lifting their pincers as they prepared to grapple.

With small grunt, you pick up and throw the wounded enemy at the left Enemy with a massive force. In an instant there is a loud pop as the middle Enemy almost shattered against his comrade, and a squeal of surprise as the Left Enemy is smashed into the ground by the now corpse of his ally.

Before you can revel in your victory, you feel pincers grab your rear end.

Overwhelming success

Despite missing a chunk from your side, and the toll the fight had taken on your body, you not only effortlessly succeed, but manage to drag both corpses at the same time to your hidey hole and shove them both down below.

Lowering yourself into your hole and shoving a chunk of chitin from your enemies bodies into the entrance, you set about feasting on your enemies.

A day passes, and you focus on healing your wounds as your body changes. As the hours go by, you feel the chitin regrow and the fluids return. However, you aren’t able to fully heal the damage that was done.

>gain 10 HP. 17/26 HP

You break out of your chrysallis, stewarding yourself out of the container you have made for yourself with care as to avoid the sting of your wounds.

Once fully released, you carefully stretched your sore body and wriggled a bit before looking up, expecting to see your little chitinous cieling. Instead, you saw rock and stone.

Looking around, you find yourself atop a pile of chrysallis’, all gathered in a large cave room that seemed to have been melted into shape.

You had been found and stolen away.

You slowly blend into the environment, positioning yourself against the piles of Chrysallis’ so that you disappeared into them.

Now fully blended in, you could likely stay there and hopefully wait things out.

But sounds echoing from deeper into the cave could be heard, as well as the sound of heavy foot steps.

You make your descisions. You couldn’t stay here, it was just a matter of time before whatever brought you here came back. Instead, you’de Take action.

Making your way down the mound of stored Chrysallis’, you look around the room to maybe find an exit.

After a brief scan, you see some options.

>At the top of the cavern, there is a opening in the roof. If you could climb up there you’de be able to use it.

>There is a path that leads down hill, and it’s completely silent, but surprisingly warm.

Momentarily opting to sate your curiosity, you scuttle over towards the noise. On your approach, you manage to watch as a Dron, around your size, with a heavy looking carapace and a large front pointing horn appear.

It briefly mirrors what you had done before, and then begins to look around in a panic, until it spots you and freezes. Then, in a burst of movement, it goes to stab its horn into the ground before face planting as its horn simply glides across the stone.

Success

After a couple tries of chittering and tittering at the Dron, you finally get its attention. Going low to the ground, you appear non threatening and get it to understand that you are not a threat.

The horned Dron looks around, then looks at you Curiously. The sounds from the up hill tunnel grow louder, and a curiously stagnant smell seems to begin to build in the room.

Making your descision in a flash, you make a brief chittering noise at the Horned Dron, and then turn towards the dark tunnel. Without Hesitation, you charged off into the darkness, away from the sounds and noises coming closer. The Horned Dron hesitates, but a cracking sound made it jump and scuttle after you, letting out distressed squeaks as it did.

You charge into the darkness, and quickly became engulfed in it, unable to see an single thing except the light behind you coming from the chrysallis room you had just abandoned. You hear the Horned Dron moving behind you, still making noises but now a bit quieter.

Near success

You’re able to avoid crashing into the walls, and sometimes manage to not stumble over a stone in your way as you move along, but other than that you cannot do any better.

Your Horned comrade though seemed to move through the darkness like it was clear as day, eventually the Horned Dron moving in front of you and using his horn to clear rocks out of the way so you wouldn’t trip over them.

You give a chirp of thanks, and receive a chirp back you assume would mean “You’re welcome”.

Your journey through the Darkness continues for awhile, before you see a faint green light growing closer. It illuminated an entry way into a larger room. Your Horned friend immediatly charged for the green light ecstatically, leaving you in its dust.

While your fellow Dron seems to throw caution to the wind, you slow your step and make your approach carefully, quickly losing sight of the Horned Dron as they scuttled down a slanted floor.

Eventually, you poke you head out of the tunnel exit, and examine the room.

In the center of the room, there is a large dome covered in what looked like stone but was perhaps almost imperceptibly moving. Strewn around the dome are a couple half dissolved corpses, all of them reminding you of the princess you ate, but smaller and clearly from a different colony.

The Horned Dron was happily chewing on some undissolced flesh he had found.

Placed randomly on the walls, strange bronze flowers holding green crystals spread light throughout the room. Something about it all felt a bit off.

Letting out a loud chirp, you caught the attention of your fellow Dron. Letting out a sound and motioning to follow, you reentered the shadows, ecited, then reentered again to try and get him to follow.

The Horned Dron tilted their head, looked at the meal they were having, then looked at your again, before ripping off a chunk of the flesh and nibbling on it as they fwalked up to you.

They chirpped questioningly, watyching head down the tunnel and back to the previous room. They followed, and soon was leading the way back again, still nibbling on their chunk of stolen flesh.

"For the last time you savage cockroach, I count only 298 of these damn things. I demanded 300."

You hear voices from the room ahead, angry ones.

"I assure you I have collected the number you requested. The little ones must have woken up and wandered off. They can't have gotten far."

They second voice was softer, and very calm, almost like steady stream

"They better not have, else our deal is off."

The room is just up ahead, and you manage to catch sight of the angry voice, though the other voice is blocked by the pile.

"I swear, coming to this blasted place is becoming more and more of a nightmare. How do you even stand that wretched sun?"

The calm voice stepped forward, coming into view as they walked around the angry person.

"Oh, it's not so bad to be honest. Why, just yesterday, whn the sun was at it's highest, I was blessed to see one of your little spies burst into flames. It was a very stunning display of red as they burned." The calm figure muffled a laugh, that had a slight clicking to it.

The angry voice glared at the calm one, but then shook his head and oulled out something that looke dlike the bronze flowers from the Dome room, tapping at the crystal and causing it to make noises "Well, even if you find some some glee in it, I can't wait to get back to Juka. I might even make it back in time for the festival."

A light shot out from the crystal, the man aiming the bronze flower at the pile and having the light glide over them all.

The Calm Dron, who lazilly watched the angry person, tilted their head" Festival? What is that?"

"You'll find out if you manage to find my damn specimens." He said, not paying anymind as the calm Dron's eyes flashed a searing yellow and they glared at the back of his head.

The calm Dron let out a sigh, and began to walk off towards the warm tunnel "Perhaps they tried to exit the caves?"

The Daguran was left alone to study his chrysallis', with the Horn dron seeming ready to retreat back to the room with light and food.

Deciding that the situation called for a re-evaluation if threats, you decide the sketchy room was better than the room that had the stranger and the Pale Dron.

Tugging on your comrade, you scuttle back the way you came, the Horned Dron waddling ahead but seeming annoyed as they walked.

“Can’t believe My lord agreed to such a deal, Asylum for one of these wretched things. Seems he’ll do anything to win the Primier’s favor.”

You manage to catch those words as you walk away, and soon the noises become distant as you delve back into the dark tunnel.

After walking the path enough, you and the Horned Dron easily make it through rather quickly, partially having memorized the way. Now, you stood once more in the Dome Room.

The Horned Dron looked to you briefly, then watched as you scuttled forward and began to devour the closest corpse, the Horned Dron immediatly charging forward to do the same.

You spend a few minutes eating, and then exhaust one of the corpses of any obvious edible flesh.

Large Failure

You make noise, motions, and everything else you can think of at the Horned Dron, trying to convey your message across. At first they are confused, then disinterested, then annoyed. The fling a rock at you, which hit the ground harmlessly near you, but it seemed to think the message was clear as it went back to its feasting.

>>A choir singing, sisters working together to help their queen awaken. Suddenly screaming, a pale figure. Anger and betrayal. A splash of green liquid. Pain...

Letting out a satisfied chirp, you look and count two more free corpses, your Horned ally having already eaten through three others.

You hear shouting from down the tunnel, likely from the angry man. It’s rather heated, until it suddenly stops.

Great Success!

Taking a moment to digest your food, you wandered around the room, searching it for anything interesting. Since the room was pretty simple, you easily find two things

First, you discover a crate at the far wall that had been partially covered by some dirt and rocks. Inside we’re about a dozen more Bronze flowers, the petals closed over the green crystal and hiding it away. On the side of the crate we’re some symbols you couldn’t read.

Second, almost right behind the Dome and leading under it, was a small tunnel you could fit through that lead down hill. The passage was dark, but the tunnel was pretty smooth.

As your Horned friend went for fourths and you were about to dig into thirds, you heard a soft humming coming from the dark tunnel, and it was growing closer.

Thinking fast, you scuttle over and grab one of the flowers with your pincers, requiring both pincers to hold it effectivly. You then charged for the small tunnel, just as you saw yellow eyes in the darkness of the larger tunnel.

“Oh little ones? Are you in here?”

You slide down, hearing a short surprised chirp from your Horned comrade before your started to slide and rapidly descend into the darkness.

Success

Before you end up shooting down into the darkness, you manage to use you legs to stab into the tunnel walls, and slow yourself to a stop.

Taking in a breath, you relax just a bit, before you hear a small laugh behind you.

“Oh, aren’t you the clever one? Well, Come on now, enough games. Come back up here. Now.” They said, and you felt a massive pressure on your brain.

Failure

You feel your body begin to move, some instinctual part of your mind pushing against your conscious thought. You begin to turn around, and look at the face of the Pale Dron, the yellow eyes glowing with glee.

“That welp of a man it going to take us far away from this horrible place little one. All I need from you is to be a good little worker. Now, come to me.”

You begin to walk forward, steadily going back up the tunnel.

Near success

You almost manage to break free of the pressure invading your mind, but just can’t completely do it. You manage to slow your ascent, causing the Pale dron to let out a growl, and their face to somehow shudder unnaturally.

>”I said, Come To Me.”

The pressure grew harder to resist, your very mind betraying you as you both wanted to go to them yet also wanted to run from them.

OVERHWELMING SUCCESS!

The pressure had been building more and more, your mind seeming to shudder and crack beneath the mountain that was the Pale dron’s will. You felt your desires, you feelings, everything you were being pushed aside by some primal urge to please this Pale dominator.

>>You are different...You have a spark, just like I once developed...

Those words suddenly come to your mind. Your mind stops buckling, settling underneath the weight. Then, with a cataclysmic screech that shook the stone around you, you pushed back.

>”What?!”

The Pale dron’s mind was bashed by your own metal power, breaking their hold on you.

>Dealt 5 Mental damage to Pale Dron

The Pale Dron held their head for a moment, seeming dazed. It was all you needed, it gave you time to.

By simply letting go of the tunnel walls, you once more began to rapidly slide down the tunnel, now with a view of the Pale Dron staring down at you.

>You think you’re special, don’t you?

You keep sliding, but still feel their presence in your mind.

>"...."

They're silent, but only for a second. Maybe two. Then, with a voice that sounds...pleased as well as surprised.

>"Snow..."

The connection cuts, and you hurdle down the tunnel as you leave the Dron named snow and Horn Dron in the dome room.

What feels like an half an hour passes of you just sliding along, thinking about what had happened up above, before suddenly you launch out of the tunnel and smack into something wet in some room that felt pretty warm.

Pulling yourself from the wet substance, you land on the ground, and see a lot of partially disolved carapce and pools of dissolved flesh you assume. There are two tunnels, on going lft and one going right.

Besides some various piles of oddly shaped chitin, you manage to find a not dissolved head. You have no idea what it could have been when it had a body, but you kind of hope you won't find out.

>>Gain 6 Biomass. 44 total Biomass

Choosing your path, you head down the left tunnel, entering a tunnel that completely dark. Without your Horned ally, you stumble through the dark, though fortunately the path seems rather clear of obstacles.

Your journey eventually brings you to a long central hall, lit by what looks like a crack in the ceiling with light bleeding through. It is rather stuffy but otherwise tolerable in the room. Strewn across the hall is mor epools of dissolved flesh and carapace, with a few forgotten body parts left to rot. One particular featur eof note was the corpse that apparently had been smashed against a central pillar so hard they were stuck to the rock, their juices having stained the stone.

Down the left path there is a red light coming from one of the rooms, and a slow clicking sound as well.

Up the right path, there is a large entryway, with large Dron shaped smears on the walls and what appeared to have once been doors lying shattered on the ground.

Your flower shakes a little, than stops.

Despite trying your hardest, you don't manage to find anything of use. Just more death and goo. You find empty carapaces crushed, cut, or punched through. Whatever had come through this hall, had been both quick and merciful, and cruel and sadistic.

The clicking from down the hall grows more rapid.

>>2186843
10+ 1 (Intelligence Bonus) = 11

You manage to find a small bump on the stem of the flower, which when putting pressur eon it, has the flower's petals open up to reveal the crystal. The Crystal is dull and has no light coming from it. There are also weird symbols on the inside of the petals.
